I have had 2 tattoo's done so far with Marie at Folklore. She is absolutly brilliant as an artist and tattooist, I love both pieces that she has done for me. The tattoo studio is very clean and it is obvious that they take hygiene very seriously. I do a round trip of 168 miles to get my tattoo's done by Marie and it is definitely worth it.

Had a tattoo done here a few years ago by Adam. He did a stellar job, was friendly and reassuring throughout. Both his and Marie's artwork is fantastic and can be seen on Instagram. Nice and clean inside and very professional. Would definitely recommend to any first timers, or experienced tattoo'd folk!

I got a tattoo from Marie a couple of weeks ago. I adore her art work/tattoos and my new addition. She's very talented. Marie is also very friendly (along with the couple of members of staff that I met), informative and great to talk to. I definitely recommend.

Folklore Tattoo are an amazing team - highly skilled, very professional and make you feel very welcome and at ease ... fully recommend ! Today was my first visit to the studio to get a cover up completed for a very dark bird tattoo done poorly by another tattoo studio. Prior to the visit I had an online consultation due to COVID to discuss all aspects of the tattoo.
Hygiene standard spot on and excellent COVID safe procedures put in practice to ensure everyones safety.

Lovely and friendly atmosphere - highly recommend, especially if you're going in for a first tattoo. I was immediately put at ease, supported and made to feel comfortable throughout the process. And didn't hesitate to return and will continue to return here for my future tattoo ideas. They are true artists who bring your ideas to life with custom designs, so you know you're going to come out with your very own unique design bespoke to you. Wonderful tattoo after-care advice is provided so you know exactly how to best nurture your new art piece throughout its healing process as well - mine still

Came to FTS to have two half sleeves done by Marie. She went above and beyond with the designs, making sure to talk me through my ideas and helping to perfect them into artwork that worked seamlessly altogether. Marie stayed an hour + over time to make sure to complete both tattoos in the single day sitting, which I cannot express how appreciative I am! Marie also went to the effort of making sure that when doing the second design, it was going to be complimentary to the first tattoo and parallel it in some aspects, then took extra time and care to make sure things were edited once the transfer

I had my tattoo done by Marie at Tattoo Freeze. She was brilliant; she designed me a beautiful custom piece. As we wouldn't see each other until the day, Marie kept in contact with me to ensure it was exactly how I wanted it. On the day, I was made to feel comfortable and at ease. The service was professional and friendly, I was given great aftercare information. And most importantly my tattoo is AMAZING! On another note, cost does not matter when it comes to getting your ink as you pay for quality; I found the pricing from Folklore Tattoo Studio very fair - especially for the high quality art
