Lovely staff, both my kids had there first piercing here on Saturday (21/11/21)…read more No swelling or problems. Really professional Highly recommend

I find this is a great piercing shop for all ages…read more The staff are middle aged and have always been more than willing to help. If it's either just a quick bit of advice with a problem you have. I've been in with friends for them to have there ears done. And today went myself to ask about my tragus. I was having difficulties with it and it wasn't healing. She put another stud in as I lost the ball the other day and gave me one of there aftercare sheets. (added it to the pics if you want to see it). I just find the only disappointment with this place is the inside. Looks a great shop from the frontage but I feel with a little more investment in the interior it will make it that something special. Sometimes the place looks dirty inside and unclinical. A shame but likely down to the owner and not the staff. (Not sure if any of the staff own the place) Just needs either a refurb inside to bring it upto scratch or a fire! Maybe I'm asking to much. I guess it's normally just the ink shops that have a sofa and tv to chill on while you wait. :-)

Okay, so for body modifications, this place couldn't get much better…read more Let me point out that anything but piercings are a permanent change to your body, so should be carefully thought about before you go for anything doing. So as for a review, I cannot recommend this place highly enough. I started getting my piercings here as a one off really and found that they simply are the best place I've ever been. The staff are really friendly, really professional and know what they are talking about. I now only use this place for any of my bod mods, and I have to travel nearly an hour and a half to get here (I have to use public transport :/) but because I know the service I receive is phenomenal and prices are superb, it's worth it.

I went in wanting a simple tattoo. The staff on the till upstairs were really friendly. All was…read morewell until I went downstairs to speak to the tattooist. I told him what I wanted. He did a rough sketch on my skin with pen and I'm not going to lie it didn't look good. I showed him a picture of what I wanted and he started to draw it out, but it didn't look like anything like what I'd shown. I mentioned this and he re-drew. He spent a grand total of 2 minutes re-drawing and I said very politely that I liked what he had drawn but wanted one part of altering - I feel entitled to say this as it is going on my skin permanently. This seemed to anger the tattooist and he slammed the iPad case shut that he'd been drawing on and proceeded to swear at me. At that point I said "I'll leave it then" and he then stood up abruptly and tore up my consent form in front of me. I could understand this behaviour and treatment if I'd have been demanding, rude, unreasonable, if I'd have asked for it to be redrawn well over a handful of times. And if the tattooist had have been drawing for a long time. But I didn't and I wasn't. I don't think I was in the shop for more than 10 minutes. Definitely will not be setting foot in there again. Not a pleasant experience at all.

Awesome, awesome tattoo studio…read more I haven't had any tattoos done from here, which might not make me an expert, but I came to a lot of sessions with an old boyfriend who had an entire back piece done. It took a good few weeks of work to get a completed design (this isn't the sort of place you go in, look at some pictures on the wall and go 'I want that one'), and it cost a bloody fortune - I swear I own a fair size of it - but it was absolutely stunning. The guys are incredibly skilled, talented, inventive and professional.

Superb.The kind of multi-artist custom studio that so many ratholes pretend to be these days-these…read moreguys are streets ahead of the game!Butch & the chaps offer a wide range of approaches,& do them all to a genuinely high standard. Not a cheap walk-in type place,but pretty approachable for people who need decent tattoos.

I am writing this in behalf of my partner who recently wanted to get their first tattoo. When she…read moregot in contact with one of the artists there, lets call them, "Gregg", he wasnt the fastest at replying to emails which is understandable as its a business, however after numerous times he either rescheduled or just straight up didnt reply to his emails, it becomes a lil bit annoying. Especially when he posts to his Instagram account that he has "free space available". Yet still does not reply to emails. Then when she finally got an email back saying he had time available on Friday, she said thatd be great! But then, no shock to us, come Friday, and another follow up email about this alleged "available time". He was gone like a fart in the wind. A day later and still nothing back. Unprofessional and unorganised. Maybe others here are better than Rya- i mean "Gregg" but we wouldnt know. However id give it 10/10 for piercings. Not tattoos.

High pain threshold? Want a new piercing? Another Tattoo?…read more I would recommend Red Tattoo and Piercing. I have had both piercings and tattoo's done here! What makes Red so special is that the staff and young, vibrant and love their art. For tattoo's you can take your own design and they will recreate this PERFECTLY for you. If you need some advice they will help you create the tattoo if you give them an idea of what kind of look you wish to have! Prices are reasonable. For examples, a 2 inch (approx) outline will cost you between £25-35. Other prices however depend on what you wish for. For piercing, prices are a little expensive. This again depends on the piercing and the ring/stud you want! Staff are interested in your needs however and take the time out to walk you around the Gothic, boudoir designed shop to explain all the different possibilities. If you search around Leeds you will find cheaper places for both tattoos and piercing. Nevertheless for the comfort that Red provides, the extra price is worth it!

If you are looking for a pipe or a bong or novelty Rizla or any drug related paraphernalia in Leeds…read morethen this is literally (since Sugar Lump closed down) the only way to go. It has everything a good head shop should have and they let you browse as much as you want. Some of the staff, I'd say half, are very rude and ill mannered. They make you feel like you are wasting their time by being in their shop, but the other half are perfectly fine. They sell RC's/Legal Highs but generally not very good ones and at overblown prices. If you like RC's you are better going on the internet. The ones here are the lower end of the scale. All in all, if you are looking for that type of shop it serves the purpose. They would have had 4 stars if it wasn't for some of the staff.

I have had loads of work done here and they are amazing, cant fault them at all. Looking at the previous 1 star review from Helen is a bit dodgy seen as Helen says she is from Nottingham when the studio is actually in Leeds.

Every member of staff is knowledgeable, friendly and extremely talented; Danny and Adam are nothing short of miracle workers. Levels of hygiene are excellent and prices very reasonable, and I would happily recommend this place to anyone.

I went here for my ears piercing years ago and then for my eyebrow pierced a few months back and…read moreits a really good shop. The manager who does the piercing is very friendly and polite and chatty - he really put me at my ease even though it wasnt me who was nervous it was my mum. The equipment is fully sterilised and comes from a unopened packet so you can be sure of the quality and hygiene. I was told how to care for my piercing and made sure I knew what to do next to care for it. The shop is at thte top of ivegate just underneaf the klick photoshop and it is easy to walk past as the signing is only on the windows and if you didnt know it was there you wouldnt find it. There are a few steps to go down and then you are in a small waiting room with another small room for the piercing. There is a huge supply of jewellery to choose from and hygiene products.

I went to get my cartilage pierced here and was greeted by a man. I told him that I had previously…read morehad 2 cartilage piercings before but got the mistake of getting them done with a gun because I wasnt previously aware that it is unsafe to do so. I asked him to check my ear and see if it was safe to get it re pierced safely and he said yes. He sat me down on my chair and told me he was sanitising the area and before I knew it I was pierced. He did not ask me what position I wanted the piercing or show me what he was using - he just pierced me. I was extremely startled at how fast it was over and had doubts whether he used a needle or not because it happened so fast. I later rang them back and asked the man to confirm whether he used a gun or needle and he said that they only use needles as a gun would shatter my cartilage. I took his word for it but then my sister remembered she took a video of me getting my piercing and we realised that he had in fact used a gun! I have also read reviews online that say that he uses guns for cartilage piercings. I have checked the official bradford council guidelines and it clearly states a piercing gun should not be used on anywhere other than ear lobes. I have also spoken to a friend who had her cartilage pierced here almost 7 years ago and he used a gun. This man has been doing this for many years and should have his license removed after unsafe practices and lying to his customers. I have emailed bradford council and hoping they revoke this mans license!
