I am absolutely in love with my tattoo! Cloud made the whole experience so comfortable and relaxed, and his attention to detail is incredible. He really listened to what I wanted and brought the design to life perfectly. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out and the experience as a whole.

Pricks Studio
Carolina is such a wonderful artist and more importantly the sweetest person. She'll try to feed you, let you chill or chat as you'd prefer. Cant wait to finish my lovely new friend in a few weeks with her. If you're looking for an artist with commitment to striving for the absolute best...look no further. Also the gang and atmosphere at Sixty Ink add to the overall experience!

Soli

The London Social Angel
I spent nine hours with Soli to get three custom tattoos done. I can say from start to finish, I was made to feel exceptionally at ease. First, Soli was really open to my ideas, and managed to realise them so beautifully. Second, he is sensitive and thoughtful about placement options. Third, he is a true artist, both in terms of those designs and his commitment to making them perfect on the body. Finally, he's one of the good guys. The hours flew by, and while tattooing isn't always comfortable, he makes the experience calm and even relaxing! I appreciate you, Soli!

I am so thrilled with my dragons from Ruth - the detail is incredible and they’ve healed brilliantly. Ruth was great to work with throughout the whole process and made me feel comfortable and happy throughout the design and tattoo process. Plus, I had a genuinely fantastic time chatting throughout the process too. Would highly recommend and I’ll be back for more!

I had a leg sleeve done by Fabio Passarelli, a geometric tattoo artist from Venezuela, and I couldn’t be happier. Fabio is a great dude with incredible vision. His black work is clean, bold, and perfectly balanced. He works seamlessly with both stencils and freehand drawing, taking the time to make sure every element flows with your body’s contours so the design really pops. What I love most is that it doesn’t feel like just a tattoo—it feels like a true piece of art on my body. Highly recommend Fabio if you want geometric work that’s next level.
