Took my wife here for her very first tattoo. Have to say that it's the best tattoo parlour I've ever been in. Clean, spacious and very chilled with an extremely professional yet relaxed service and lovely staff. The tattoo Shannon did for my wife was perfect and the other guys working there were gents. My wife was very comfortable and so pleased with the result. Just look at the pic and you can see the skill…

Near enough had all my tattoos at Carpe Diem Tattoo and now won't go anywhere else (even though I now live out of area). Jay, Mike and Shannon are phenomenal and a credit to their craft. Had some amazing pieces from all of them. Most recently have been booked in with Shannon who done the most superb fine line ink. Went to her with a mishmash of ideas and she created something beautiful. Also had a couple of her flash ink tatts too. Healed like an absolute dream with amazing after care advice.
