Wonderful experience at Renaissance - I had two new tattoos by Adie and couldn't be happier with them. I was initially nervous as hadn't had a tattoo for over ten years but Adie made me feel so comfortable and it was a really enjoyable, very low pain experience. I'm delighted with the results. I'll be going back for another soon and can't recommend highly enough!

This is a great place to get your first tattoo or more. Really friendly service and no BS. I had a great experience getting work done here. My personal thanks to Em for her hard work. I sent some images and her designs were on point.I would highly recommend Em to anyone looking for geometric and dot work :)
I also want to thank the whole team for being so welcoming and full of conversation. See you next time.

I had my tattoo done at Renaissance by Em and she was amazing. It was my first and she was so friendly - she talked me through the whole process and discussed every option regarding the size and position of the tattoo until I was completely happy.
Em produced exactly what I wanted - it was perfect (exceeding my expectations) - a real talent and an asset to the studio. I was also given lots of advice on aftercare. I have already booked another appointment with Em for my next one - as I know it will be of the highest quality
