Ii have had lots of work done at poison ink and can say that it is a very clean and professional shop. Very clean hygienic and fun place to be with around 5 tattoo artists with differing specialities. I would highly recommend it if you want a tattoo or want advice thats the place to go.

They worked closely with me to ensure my tattoo was exactly what I wanted and considering it was a very personal custom design, I thought the result was amazing given that I only had a few short meetings with the artist beforehand. I still love my tattoo and plan to get my others done at Poison Ink: my requests were not only complied with, but helped along from their infancy as ideas by the experience of the atrist. A great quality service for good value.

The poison ink staff very professional and the store was extremely clean and well looked after. I liked the fact that they kept in contact with you to ensure you didn't forget or miss your appointment. They also explained everything as they were doing it to keep the client in the informed.

To sum up i was very happy with my whole tattoo process and will most definitely be going back to them in the future.

I had my tattoo done at Poison Ink last May. The studio is well laid out, clean and with its on unique style. What I liked most about the staff was that they are so passionate about their work, and they try to give each customer their very own unique tattoo design especially tailored to them, so no two designs are the same. The staff are professional and always available for advice (I.e. design/placement/numbing creams/aftercare/etc), and friendly with a little added humour thrown in to settle even the most nervous of customers to make them feel comfortable.
My experience with poison ink was an enjoyable one and worth the pain.To this day I love my tattoo (which was designed by Alex Simpson @ poison ink) and everyone always comments on how amazing it looks. I recommend Poison ink to everyone from first timers to regulars. I will definatly be going back for more!

I went in as a first timer really nervous, I was instantly put at ease! I was tatooed by Steph, she was fantastic!! She went slowly with me making sure that I was OK and once the first line had been done I was feeling more confident! The premises are really clean and friendly and there's plenty of parking. The aftercare is fantastic, they don't just tatoo you and forget about you they're there for any questions you may have afterwards as well! My tattoo is fab and a very poignant reminder of my Nan. I will go back to Poison Ink, I will recommend them to anybody and everybody! Thinking of my next one as we speak!!! See you soon guys!!

I went to Poison Ink for my first new tattoo in about 30 years. I was immeadiately impressed with the totally professional setup. The studio is bright,airy and clean. The walls are covered with a selection of tattoos that have been done by the artists there, plus there are books filled with a large selection of pre drawn ideas.

Mason Stoner has now done 3 tattoos for me from designs that I have found and he has adapted. At all times he has put me at my ease and talked me through what was going to happen,given honest quotes for time and cost. He is a true artist and obviously takes great pride in creating the tattoo that you want, never rushing a job.

I am absolutely delighted in all three designs he has done and I would not hesitate in recommending Poison Ink and Mason to anyone thinking of having a tattoo.

Everyone at Poison Ink is very friendly and helpful. If you ever go in with a design in mind they will help you to get the best out of the design without compromising too much.

They are always laughing and joking with each other and the customers which makes the atmosphere relaxed and makes it an enjoyable experience.
