Union Tattoo

Two of us came in for tattoos and were tattooed by Craig, and both feel like we didn’t get quite what we wanted despite speaking up about things we wanted to change at the time, which he treated as an inconvenience and seemed irritated. We both do not like our tattoos now which we think is largely because of our experience with the artist. Just wanting to warn other people considering a walk in.

Harrie did a lovely job with my tattoo! She was fast, friendly, and it was a lot less painful than my other color tat. I’m so happy with the outcome!

Will sorted me out with a change in jewelry for my conch piercing. He is super professional, I felt safe (in all aspects) and aware of his process during the sitting, jewelry type is discussed in depth and he offered solid advice. I am booked in for another piercing soon, I won't go anywhere else again now that I've been to Union.

My wife and I saw Jade who was incredible. The tattoos are exactly how we wanted them and the process was so smooth.The parlor was very clean with a cozy and welcoming vibe. I will be making sure to come back the next time I'm in the country.Lots of walk ins too so be sure to check out their Instagram for those details!

i have been pierced here by will. the proccess was very easy and explained to me in a way that is really good. i have gone here for multiple piercings and have never had any issue with the piercings. i did swallow my piercing once but that was my fault

Got a very simple tattoo I’d drawn, was super excited about it and overall had a bad experience. Craig didn’t introduce himself, just told me to sit down, told me he couldn’t make the tattoo I want on my body any smaller (only to do that after I asked again), and then pressed too hard. The lines are shaky, in some places hardly there, and do not even line up on the corners. Even though i came for a simple tattoo, I would expect better and honestly would warn anyone ahead of time that it appeared he gave zero care towards a walk in. Sad that I will have to get my first tattoo touched up when he could have spent 10 more minutes on it and fixed everything.

Got my first tattoo here with Craig. Just a little one and it was minimum charge but everyone was really nice and relaxed. Quite a bright and social environment so not stressful. I emailed through my design and the sizing and got a spot because someone else cancelled.

My tattoo from here was lovely, however my tattoo artist made me feel a little uneasy. When I corrected her (once) on the sizing I wanted for my tattoo, she got visibly annoyed and asked the receptionist when her next appointment was (in an irritated tone), making me feel like a liability. I understand having appointments but they should prioritise the customer they are currently occupied with rather than the next customer (who wasn’t due until another hour or two). I had also stated the size that I wanted over the phone and in my email (which was only about 5cm). The experience overall was fine, but it would be nice for the artists to make the clients feel comfortable while getting their tattoos done. On a side note the atmosphere here is lovely. Just some improvement in customer service skills would be beneficial here.

I love love love the nose piercing I got today from Will! Will is super professional, knowledgeable, kind and patient. He listened and made great recommendations and suggestions. His expertise was spot on and I couldn't be happier with the result. I was in amazing hands and totally recommend his work. Thank you x
