Familia Tattoo Studio 22 King Charles Street, Leeds LS1 6LT

"I was recommended to Louis by my partners sister. I saw his work on Instagram and booked a consultation. What was supposed to be a 20-30 min consultation turned into 3 hours of conversation. We were laughing and joking and I told him about my ideas and why I wanted the tattoo. I had two very large tattoos on my chest that are not me anymore and he noted down m ideas and said he would be able to cover them with no issues. I booked a day session and couldn’t wait to start. I trusted the process and I couldn’t believe that in one session we had achieved so much. The 8 hours flew by as Louis talked about life, family, and experiences and we watched YouTube and shared common interests and it was like chilling with your friend. lol Louis is very professional. The tattoo studio is Morden with complimentary sweets and drinks. ( his coffee is to die for) lol His hygiene standards are immaculate and all his tattoo equipment is modern and only the best will do! He is a perfectionist and everything he does is with your permission and understanding. You never feel pressured or unsure and the fact that Louis doesn’t take walks in shows that. His diary is very busy which also says something!! I don’t usually leave reviews for tattoos , but this time it is actually needed because I could not wish more success for such a humble, kind and unique soul. The vibe was amazing in the shop and everyone is welcome no matter age, gender or religion. I have more sessions booked and I cannot wait. If you want a tattoo artist who cares and just asks for patience and trust in the process then look no further. I can assure you … you won’t regret it!"

"Just returned today for touch up on a hand tattoo louis did for me two years ago highly recommend he is a talented artist and such a good friendly guy will deffinately be returning when i want more tattoos doing"

"Great studio, a bit off the beaten track but, the guys in there are so friendly. They offer coffee and great conversation as they design and tattoo. Fully recommend."

"this was my first tattoo since 1995 and i wanted something personal and unique. i looked online at various artists and found Louis art work was exactly what i wanted, so i messaged him to find out more. after talking to him, we arranged a consultation. when i met him, he was friendly and easy to talk to about what tattoo i wanted. after a coffee or two, he started to sketch, it was unreal and it was like he was inside my head because he put on paper exactly what i was thinking about. a month later, i had my appointment, Louis was very understanding when i changed the design a little and he adapted his art work to suit. then after a coffee or two (see the pattern) we got going. Louis place is very clean and tidy and he plays a wide variety of music also, a good selection of films for you to watch while he works and yes, always keeps you topped up with coffee or or water. The new study very nice and easy to get to in Leeds. i have enjoyed my time getting my tattoo and getting to know Louis, we've had many a good conversation about Brazil and especially how many world cups they have won and that England have not won one for ages. like i say, it has been an excellent experience and i would not go anywhere else for a tattoo. i would recommend Louis to everyone and if you use his expertise, make sure you have his coffee, its better than a COSTA. thanks Louis to the next time pal.-Tony O'Brien"

"Top Quality tattoos by experienced artists with a passion for art. I booked and had my first tattoo here as my friend had an entire back tattoo done. I went along with him and met Louis and i was impressed with the friendly atmosphere, cleanliness and professionalism. I was very very nervous as my first tattoo was half a sleeve but he was brilliant made me feel very comfortable and started with some very light outlining to get me used to the feel of it. It isn't anywhere near as painful as people make out, it feels like sunburn to me. Louis also makes a great coffee and has great taste in music. There are loads of pieces of art on the wall and paintings which show how passionate Louis is about his artwork and job. I was actually addicted and excited to get back into the studio after my first session. I watched Joe tattoo a couple of his clients too and he is also very talented. One guy had an emerald green dragon on his arm and this looked awesome ! After the tattoo Louis gave me some good advice and recommended the best aftercare cream to use. I messaged Louis a few times asking some aftercare questions and he replied and answered all my questions. I'm really pleased with my tattoo and will be back in June for my next one Thanks for everything Louis see you again soon man !!!"
