The Barracks Tattoo Studio Newcastle-under-Lyme, Newcastle ST5 1LF

"I’ve been tattooed by George a lot of times now and got 12 tattoos! Some of them were from their Halloween and Valentines flash day (I love these days). I’ve got issues with my skin so I thought I’d be hard to work with however George was up for it and looked into working with my specific needs and how to combat them and I’ve figured out what works best with my skin via trial and error and I’ve now got wonderfully healed tattoos. The environment and atmosphere in the studio is lovely, always some great tunes going on, but I just wanted to point out that George has gone above and beyond for me when I come and get tattooed and it’s something I really appreciate. I’ve found a lifelong artist!"

"I’ve had two day sessions at the Barracks with Kyle and they’ve both been a brilliant experience! Kyle is a talented artist and has a great selection of flash to choose from, and can also work with you to create a new design from your ideas. He’s great at traditional tattoos but also putting his own spin on classic designs or coming up with something totally different! My tattoos all look amazing and have healed perfectly too, and I’m so happy with all of them. It’s also a really lovely friendly studio and the guys make you feel totally at ease. I definitely plan on going back again and recommend the Barracks to anyone looking to get tattooed in Stoke-on-Trent!"

"This Father's day I was treated to some tattoo time for a fathers day related tattoo, when it comes to something that special I could only think of George's work at the Barracks to get exactly what I wanted. George took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and worked with me to put the perfect flair on it. I've used a lot of different tattooists in the past who take what you think would be good slap it on your skin and see you out the door, George talked me through the different art styles that would suit the work I currently have and the piece I wanted and I'm sure as you can see from the image attached his dot work is second to none! We had great conversation throughout and he made it the most engaging, enjoyable and relaxing experience I've ever had getting a tattoo. There's hundreds of tattoo stores local to me and the barracks is a bit of a travel for me to get there but you can rest assure I'll be making that trip everytime I need some new ink! Top work GFox!"

"They were helpful from the start making sure I got the piece I wanted, lovely place and Kyle was super helpful making sure my vision was met and it surpassed my expectations by miles. Would 100 percent recommend anyone looking to get a tattoo this would be the first stop. I will definitely be returning."
