Ink'd London Reviews 3

Worst experience ever!! I had an appointment booked for over 10 months and 3/4 of the way into my tattoo I was told I was going to have to stop so they could see somebody else’s appointment. I was told I was gonna have to take an hour break so they could see somebody else. My appointment was scheduled for 10 months. I had the first appointment of the day. They got started a little late. Even though we were early. I never in my life have seen such rude behavior from management as to stop a tattoo in the middle to see somebody else. We were only in the country for one more day and had tickets to see the museum that afternoon. Our last day in London was absolutely ruined. Also I want to mention when I went to pay the estimate went up $75. Absolutely horrible experience. Please do not waste your money by going to Ink’d London

Genuinely one of the worst tattoo experiences I’ve had!!!

I paid £120 for two tiny finger tattoos—purely because that’s their minimum charge, regardless of size. Given how heavily they hype themselves up, I expected at least a decent standard of service and quality. That was a mistake.
The entire place felt cold and unwelcoming from the start. The receptionist looked miserable, the tattoo artist seemed completely uninterested, and the overall atmosphere made it obvious that customer experience is not a priority here. It honestly felt like an inconvenience for them to even be there.
The quality was just as disappointing. Both tattoos noticeably faded within two weeks, which is unacceptable by any standard. When I reached out about a touch-up, I was told I’d need to pay another £120. Charging the full minimum again to fix work that didn’t even last a fortnight is not just unreasonable—it’s outright exploitative.
At this point, it’s hard not to see this place as all hype and no substance. High prices, poor service, and subpar results.

Save your money and go somewhere that actually values its clients and stands by its work. I absolutely would not recommend this studio to anyone!!

I chose Ink’d London based on their advertised reputation and was explicitly told in advance that they would create Photoshop mock-ups from photos of my arm and that I would meet the owner to discuss my sleeve design. Neither happened. The owner failed to attend the appointment, mock-ups were suddenly “not something they do,” and I was instead pushed into paying a substantial deposit for an £800-per-day “consultation” just to have an initial design conversation.

Since then, the narrative has changed repeatedly around pricing, consultation length, day rates, and even additional fees simply to move dates, resulting in hundreds of pounds taken before a single design discussion or any work whatsoever. This appears to be their modus operandi: say whatever is needed to get you through the door, then change the terms once you’re financially committed.

The experience has been misleading, unprofessional, and a complete breach of trust. Despite the hype, I would not trust this studio and strongly advise others to proceed with extreme caution.
