Granny's Attic Tattoo Parlour 13 Stoke Fields, Guildford GU1 4LS

"Received my first tattoo in 6 years from Alexine, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. The design turned out just as amazing as I would have hoped and I was immediately put at ease by the comfortable feeling of the studio, the welcoming people and the easy conversation that followed. I also massively appreciate how above-and-beyond they have gone with ensuring customers - especially first-timers - know the correct procedure for tattoo aftercare (which is something I didn’t get at all with my first tattoo experience on the other side of the country). Will definitely be going back for more tattoos and hoping to work with the artists too in the future!"

"For over a year I have been searching for an Artist to take on a project of a cover up and to rework an old cover up which had scarring coming through and not well done, I approached over 20 different tattoo shops and Artists with no joy. then I was recommended Alexine at this shop, you can contact her by email, please read it fully and send as much info as you can inc measurements and idea's, She will respond with in her time scales (1 week) with details and ideas what can be done etc, She is 100% honest about what designs will work and won't, She will not waste your time or hers which I like. I went in for a consultation and heard what I like, paid deposit and sent her loads of idea's , Recieved the design 4 days before our first session just in case you want to change or tweek anything. Our first session was placement and out lining work, I had trouble imagine what it would all look like when it would be finished, Alexine was patient and explained it all very well and coached me through it. 6 sessions later it was done! All the sessions ran to time and to my expectations, She never failed to delivery. You really do get back what you put in with Alexine, she is direct, polite, professional and loves cover-ups, happy to tattoo for hours if you can take the pain ! The studio is very clean and relaxing, all the ladies there are very nice and make you feel welcome. Honestly I'm not one for reviews but If you need help in a cover up or reworking a piece, get in touch with her. I was doing 50 mile round trip to have this done, well worth it ."

"I have been to Granny’s Attic Tattoo over the years and have always had the best experience. I’ve been tattooed by Esme, Alexine and Mhairi and they’ve all been amazing - they have all made me feel so comfortable during the entire process each time. Every time I’ve been in the whole team also have been so welcoming and just so lovely to be around. Anyone thinking about using them, I 100% recommend them! I’m so happy with all my tattoos, they’ve all turned out beautifully."

"Had my first ink with my partner here. Staff were very responsive in the email (scheduling, quote, do's & dont's). The staff was very concious as well with cleanliness, the place was spotless and high measures were taken to avoid infection. We choose Soph, one of their apprentice, to do ours and it was really lovely. Overall, had an amazing experience for first timers like us. Highly recommended."

"This was my first tattoo. The team were great in looking at the pictues etc. I sent through, and setting me up with the right artist for the style I was looking for. This happened to be Aitor, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. He's an amazing artist, and it was great to watch him work. The studio has a relaxed feel and is really welcoming whether its your first or hundredth tattoo. I'll definitely be back in the near future."
