"I had the most amazing experience here. The best I've had. The ladies in reception I chatted too before my tattoo were delightful and Van did an expert job. So gentle, I couldn't feel a thing. Fantastic shop. Highly recommend."

"Had an awesome experience at HeartShip Tattoos! Cathy and Sabrina were really friendly and professional, I'm super happy with my tattoos!"

"I went here a couple of years ago with my sister & had a great experience. We both loved our tattoos and Van was extremely pleasant and friendly. I came back due to this for my next piece but was disappointed with the service overall. I was looking forward to coming back to see Van again & the tattoo I was getting meant a lot to me. My partner was also supposed to get a tattoo by him. We were told we’d get some designs sent to us for what we wanted prior to the appointment but didn’t and I never thought anything of it really and just assumed we could talk about it on the day. But on the day my partner was straight up told he couldn’t get the style of tattoo he wanted so he didn’t go ahead with his but because I was clear on the emails with what we wanted I feel this could have been expressed prior to turning up to avoid disappointment. With my tattoo, I can’t fault what Van has done he’s obviously a really good tattoo artist, I just got the general impression he wasn’t all that into the design and didn’t really make any effort to engage with me about what I wanted. Because the tattoo meant so much to me I can’t help but think it could have come out a little better if he had engaged with me and made an effort to make me feel comfortable. He didn’t give me any suggestions when I seemed unsure on a certain part of the design but instead seemed irritated I wanted it different to what he had drawn. Over all I don’t think you would get a bad tattoo here but I wouldn’t return purely because I didn’t feel like Van wanted to do our tattoos & was un interested and that took away from how excited I was to go back. Because of how closed off Van was I felt slightly awkward to ask for more drawings to get exactly what I wanted because it was as if I was putting him out. It’s left me feeling like I need my tattoo touched up to what I originally wanted which isn't major, I think it will be absolutely fine but it would have been nice to have had someone a little more engaged & professional."

"Just got my tattoo done few days ago! Cath is amazing! 10/10! Will be back very soon for more!!"

"Got my first couple tattoos here the other day was a great experience and start to what I hope can be a sleeve of patch work. Will definitely be returning and would highly recommend to anyone looking for some clean tattoos :)"
