Chirality Ink: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and helpful staff and very professional as well! Sam did my tattoo and I love it! 10/10 would recommend
Fantastic experience: Excellent in every way. Sam Best sit I’ve had!! Highlight of an epic trip!!!
Fantastic experience: Sam Barker was absolutely amazing! She was responsive, adaptable, sweet, and very easy to talk to. She handled my paw print tattoo with complete empathy, as she obviously really loves her animals. The shop was cool, Sam's station was clean and cozy, and her work was absolutely amazing. Also, their tattoo balm is also really nice and I still like using it even though my tattoo is healed at this point. I will definitely go back to Sam for my next tattoo!
Fantastic experience: Abbie did my tattoo on Thursday and was amazing ! Very kind and chatty which always helps. Easily contactable and helpful with questions. Thanks so much, it’s very pretty ☺️
Fantastic experience: Had my rook and tragus done a while ago by Carl, he took plenty of time with me as I go faint with needles but helped me smoothly through the process. Both piercings have healed perfectly and quickly!
Fantastic experience: Kayleigh is amazing, she listens to what you want, she has amazing talent and patience. I can't recommend this place highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Got piercings from Carl at an evening appointment and he was lovely, so professional and I'm really happy with them! He made me feel so confident in aftercare. Would absolutely go again!
Fantastic experience: I had my first tattoo done today by Abbie and wow, she was so friendly and welcoming, I came in with a design I wanted and she gave me exactly what I wanted and better, we had a really nice chat throughout which helped with my nerves massively, she was very gentle and kind offering me time for breaks or to stretch if needed and overall and incredible experience, 1000% would return, she is very talented
Fantastic experience: Booked a tattoo with Sam and wow! ... can't get over how amazing it looks. Three days now and I just can't stop staring at it. It's like the inspiration picture I sent through, but a hundred times better. She's an amazing artist and such a lovely person, as is everyone else at Chirality. Wouldn't go anywhere else now.
Fantastic experience: Had both nostrils pierced, Carl took care of me and was very attentive with how he lined up both piercings. Amazing job as always thank you so much. :)
Fantastic experience: Been to Sam twice now and each time has been such a lovely experience. I love working with her to create a custom piece that look amazing. I have never been more excited about getting a tattoo and love showing off her work to all my friends. Each time she has made me feel very comfortable and she is very lovely to talk to! She answers any questions I have to the best of her ability (even the ones not related to my tattoos lol), and I am excited to book with her again!
Fantastic experience: A group of 4 booked fairly last minute (Saturday night) for different forms of piercing for Sunday morning. We met Carl at the shop, he is an adorable human being. He had come in just for us. He didn't rush with anyone, chatting and taking his time making sure everyone was comfortable before proceeding. A couple of us in the group were nervous but he took his time and was very professional throughout the entire thing. He's a pro for sure and an all around good guy who knows how to talk to people. He also was happy to follow up with any one of us for the after care and answer any of our questions. He went above beyond for us and the whole experience was easy and chilled. Really appreciated the extra mile he went for us. Would 1000% come see him again and recommend!!
I cannot express how delighted Carl is by your glowing review. In fact, I think it nearly made him blush.
We are overjoyed to have been able to accommodate you lovely lot, and Carl wanted me to pass on that you’re welcome anytime, and if you need anything at all please don’t hesitate to drop us a message.
Enjoy the rest of your trip and we hope to see you again soon!
Sam and the crew xx
Fantastic experience: I had my new tattoo done by Kayleigh, a resident artist, at Chirality Ink on 2nd July, 2025. A larger piece, using my own design with strict perimeters. I had drawn my design using line work only. Kayleigh spent time showing me her previous work, and helped me find suitable artwork style to both complement my piece and make it come alive. This piece was important to me, as it signified the end of a bad chapter of my life and the beginning of a new, beautiful one - this piece was a healing experience. From day one, Samantha (owner of the studio) was understanding of my needs and went out of her way to ensure this piece was completed before I had to leave Yorkshire and travel home. The overall experience was one of comfort, joy and excitement. Kayleigh was incredibly supportive, helpful and gentle through my entire sitting. Almost 7 hours in total. I was allowed breaks whenever I asked, and I gave Kayleigh a great recipe for baking cakes I will be coming back to this studio next June, to have a much larger piece done. The aftercare balms (handmade by another person at this studio) are wonderful. I went with a larger pot of Honeysuckle scented balm, really have made a difference to my aftercare. Every step was discussed with me, from start to finish. Pricing was incredible value, and well worth every penny. This studio, the owner and their artists care about you and ensuring that you have the best possible experience. Thank-you Kayleigh, Sam and everyone else at this studio! See you next June! Xx
Fantastic experience: Sam is amazing so friendly and I love all my tattoos. They are all great and lovely people. And I’ve not done yet hehe, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly recommend 5 ⭐️ plus.
Fantastic experience: I had my first tattoo done by Abbie, she was absolutely amazing, and made me feel so at ease. Everyone who works there is kind and chatty, which definitely calms you down if you're feeling a bit nervous like I was. I would recommend anyone who wanted a tattoo to come here, especially if it's your first time. Also, their aftercare balm range smells absolutely incredible, and no doubt works like a charm!!
Fantastic experience: Had my smiley pierced by Carl today, brilliant experience. He made sure I was comfortable and understood each step of the process and explained aftercare for the piercing and was happy to answer any questions I had regarding it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a good place in York.
Fantastic experience: I've had my helix, nose and now naval done my Carl and I've had a great experience every time. They've all healed well, he's helped me change them, the vibe/atmosphere was chill, friendly and welcoming, and he was happy to peirce my nose with a ring and not a stud like other places. Would highly recommend, great prices too!
Fantastic experience: AMAZING work and service! I’ve gotten a tattoo here by Sam, and a few piercings done by Carl. Both such sweethearts, definitely coming back here for any future tattoos and piercings!
Fantastic experience: Ive had my vertical labret pierced for over 2 years now and a few months back I decided to change up the jewellery but recently my lip was not agreeing with it whatsoever I was really worried It was either infected or rejecting but the piercer kindly reassured me it was neither of those things, changed my jewellery, cleaned it up and Ive had no problems, the swelling has gone down and there is no more pain! THANK YOU!!!!
Fantastic experience: Got my first ever tattoo here a few days ago with Abbie and not only was she super lovely and welcoming, I'm really happy with the result!! Already planning potential next tattoo
Fantastic experience: I came to Chirality for my first ever tattoo and I was not disappointed! I had previously had a huge freak out but Abbie talked me through everything that was worrying me and was extremely patient with me when I said I was feeling very nervous about it all. I was made to feel extremely at home during the tattooing itself, and nothing was too much of an ask or inconvenience which was lovely. I would highly recommend to anybody, especially for their first tattoo as it was an incredible atmosphere
Fantastic experience: My son had his first ear piercing (helix) with Carl today. He was very friendly and professional talking through everything step by step. Also gave detailed aftercare advice. Would definitely recommend Carl and would use Chirality again.
Fantastic experience: 100% would recommend! Sam was absolutely wonderful. Super sweet, chatty, and extremely talented. In love with my tattoo, received lots of compliments on it too. Chirality Ink take fabulous care of everyone who comes in, offering top notch service! Planning on coming back as soon as I can :)
Fantastic experience: Getting my first tattoo was a lovely, seem less and very positive experience. Sam guided me all the way through the process and made me feel welcome and very comfortable during the actual tattoo session. It was a very personal piece. I have had no issues afterwards as I followed the aftercare advice to the letter of the law. I would highly recommend this business, 10/10 if I had to give a score.
Fantastic experience: I came to Chirality because I saw all of the positive reviews, and after going myself, I can see why. The treatment was amazing, and the staff were very friendly and great to talk with. The tattoo I asked for came out just as well as I would've wanted it to, and I will definitely be going back in the future.
Fantastic experience: The lovely Sam designed and completed my tattoo of a stunning phoenix on my thigh. Her design was incredible and gave me expert guidance on whether to enlarge it which we did and I am SO happy with it. She very kindly gave me a lovely aftercare package too including a tattoo balm which healed my tattoo perfectly - no scabbing, no loss of pigment etc. A very talented artist, who is friendly, warm and welcoming. She truly cares about her work and her clients and I shall be back for sure :)
Fantastic experience: I've been to Sam for my tattoos since 2022 and she's absolutely fantastic. She's brilliant at making you feel comfortable at your appointments and all of her designs are beautiful. I would definitely recommend Sam at Chirality Ink for any tattoo you're thinking of getting done. Also have the best time when I'm there!
Fantastic experience: Came here for my first tattoo and I couldn't recommend Sam enough if I tried!! the perfect mix of comfort and professionalism that you'd want in an artist who puts in great effort to make your vision a reality, will definitely be coming back.
Fantastic experience: Sam is incredibly friendly and professional, she takes you through the tattoo process step by step, making sure you feel comfortable at every stage. She’s also very talented and tattooed the design I wanted perfectly!
Fantastic experience: Carl was amazing with Amy as she double piercing in both ears. Very professional and made her feel comfortable too. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Best tattoo shop in York highly recommend, everything you could want from a tattoo studio, clean, friendly environment, great customer service and so so happy with our tattoos! Will be coming back definitely
Fantastic experience: I got my first tattoo here recently - I was quite nervous before I arrived but I can honestly say that it was all pretty chilled - on par with sending a parcel at the post office!! Everything was very clean, as I would expect. Sam was very attentive and made me feel at ease . My tattoo was very small and in a particular style so it had to be perfect, and the closest thing to perfection is what I got I would definitely go here again
Fantastic experience: Had two ear piercings today with Carl, and had a great experience. He was really friendly - we had a nice chat whilst he was doing my piercings, which helped with any last minute nerves and kept me distracted! He seemed very efficient, as well as being open to changes with my piercings and making sure I was happy with everything before he pierced. Studio was clean and tidy and I didn’t wait long either. Would highly recommend! Thanks again Carl, I’ll definitely be back soon! :)
Fantastic experience: Went back to Chirality recently for a tattoo by Abi. Such a lovely atmosphere and always good quality and welcoming. One of my fave tattoo spots in York plus Abi was super sweet :)
Fantastic experience: Came in today for a septum piercing, overall amazing experience, the piercer was so friendly and made the entire process feel comfortable and smooth. 10/10 would come again!
Fantastic experience: Saw Carl earlier to have my nostril re-pierced. Would recommend him to anyone thinking about getting a piercing, he's epic! Took me through the whole process, and gave me a really great experience. Thanks Carl, see you again soon for the ears
Fantastic experience: Booked in for a piercing and had a great experience- cannot recommend enough! Carl is brilliant, I was well informed on the procedure and aftercare and the piercing has healed very well; I will definitely be back soon!
Fantastic experience: A few days before my festive trip to York I read the reviews for this place and decided to book in. I got 5 (yes 5) ear piercings and had a truly great experience and knew I was in safe hands. If in the area again and in need of a piercing, I would 100% go again!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent and friendly service from initial enquiry to the end tattoo and aftercare advice. This was my first tattoo at the age of 61 and could not have wished for a better experience. The tattoo was just as I wanted. Thanks Abbie
Fantastic experience: Booked my Dad in to get a tattoo with Sam at Chirality and it looks amazing! Couldn’t recommend Sam enough, she’s so talented and my Dad had a great time chatting to her at the studio. The tattoo was based on some of my art and Sam did a fantastic job at refining it and adding her stamp on it. The booking process was so easy and the aftercare package was great. Thank you again Sam!!
Negative experience: My husband booked a tattoo for us part of an anniversary weekend away, unfortunately we had to cancel due to a serious illness within the family. We gave 6 days notice and felt that due to the extenuating circumstances the company could have been kinder and offered a refund. Having a small company I understand the need for deposits and policy, but I feel that each situation should be individually assessed. Edited due to response...we paid the exact amount of deposit requested via Instagram and I messaged at 9am on Monday morning so technically 5 working days and as you work Saturday that is also classed as a working day. Your reply is pretty similar to other people who have questioned your customer service so I expected no less!
Fantastic experience: Had 20+ tattoos from Abbie and they've all been outstanding, being an excellent all-round experience with fantastic artwork. Only had one piercing from Carl but everything was just as professional and smooth. Overall, couldn't recommend anywhere more highly
Fantastic experience: Just had my first ever tattoo done by Sam, great service from initial inquiry to an actual appointment. She was able to answer all my 100 questions about appointments,tattoo,designs etc. During the appointment Sam made me feel relaxed and after she explained what i need to do to take care of it until it heals up. Thank you so much Sam.
Fantastic experience: Me and my friend got two piercings each and were both very nervous. Carl was great to be pierced by. He talked us through everything and just chatted about general stuff which helped us calm down a bit. will definitely come back for another piercing soon :) Thanks again !!
Fantastic experience: i had a tattoo done here by Abi, wonderful piece of flash for a good price, she was absolutely lovely which was really nice especially since it was my first tattoo and i was very nervous. i also had my seconds done here by Carl who was also super friendly and welcoming. both staff checked throughout that everything was okay and were the kindest artists/piercers i've ever been to
Fantastic experience: Had 3 amazing tattoos by abbie, a lovely gothic window, a tooth and bat flash tattoo. Very friendly environment and lovely designs. Super friendly too and good communication. Always recommend here
Fantastic experience: Carl explained every step of the way plus after care and was patient with my questions. I am so grateful for his care and professionalism and will recommend his piercing skills until the cows come home...and after.
Fantastic experience: Have been going to Abbie for about a year for all my tattoos - she does an amazing job every time and the studio is so lovely and friendly. Highly recommend!!!
Fantastic experience: Carl was an amazing, the piercing is perfect, talked me through it all which made me feel a lot calmer. Made me feel really confident after it! I passed out after though as I have low iron. Carl and Abby both were great help! They helped me and made me feel less embarrassed about it. They both took care of me until paramedics arrived as I had cut the back of my head. Thank you Carl and Abby for everything you guys did! Will definitely be coming back someday
Fantastic experience: had my septum piercing done , piercer talked throughout the procedure which made me feel a lot more calmer about it as i was nervous. Hardly hurt and got the perfect place. Also wanted to add my girlfriend had also got a piercing here on the same day and she loves it and hardly hurt for her either. She ended up passing out due to low iron in the shop ,however, my piercer (Carl) and another employee (Abby) stayed completely calm and nursed her until paramedics arrived. I couldn’t ask for better service. They are lovely people and know their stuff!
Fantastic experience: Abbie did a tattoo on my right arm and was fantastic from beginning to end. She was recommended by a friend and as it was my first tattoo I was very nervous. She put me at ease, was very friendly and thorough. She put so much care and detail into my tattoo and really helped with aftercare. Highly recommend and will be returning
Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Chiralty enough for ear piercings. Myself and my daughter had our first piercings recently. My daughter felt a little bit queasy afterwards and the care and kindness shown to her was absolutely second to none. 100% professional and lovely experience. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing service from start to end with Sam and team! From initial enquiry I was informed of what was needed from me and they answered any questions I had quickly. The design Sam had created was amazing and original and I couldn’t wait to see how it turned out. The time just flew in the chair chatting away the whole time and I felt so at ease all the time before realising that the tattoo was done and my word it looked stunning!! Sam’s work is spectacular and I would highly recommend her and the team to anyone looking to get a tattoo whether it be your first or your 100th. I would also say their tattoo balm is something else, they smell amazing and helped the healing process to be slow and pain free I wish I could give more than 5 stars for how amazing Sam and her team are!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had the pleasure of getting tattoos from both Sam and Abbi, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Not only are they both incredibly talented artists, but they’re also fantastic people who make the entire experience enjoyable. Their skill and professionalism are unmatched, and I can’t imagine going anywhere else for my tattoos.
Fantastic experience: Carl was super friendly from the moment I walked in which put me at ease straight away. Had 3 piercings done in one session by Carl and he was very calming and helpful throughout each one. Would highly recommend getting your piercings done here!
Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful tattoo session with Sam, and so pleased with how the piece came out! She did a great job with my requests for the design and it ended up absolutely exceeding my expectations, totally in love with it! Was my first colour tattoo, only had black ones before and she was really attentive and answered all the questions I had, felt reassured the whole way through. Also have to mention, incredibly punctual. When I’ve had afternoon sessions at other studios there’s always a wait while they finish up the client before but Sam was spot on with the time! Really great vibe in the studio too, makes the hours fly by~ will definitely be coming back!
Fantastic experience: Loved this place, Chirality Ink and Samantha were recommended by a friend and i was not disappointed. From the first communication message, design process and the actual day, helpful, professional friendly. Highly recommended and u am already planning my next visit. You won't be disappointed
Fantastic experience: Me, my mum and my partner all had our ears pierced by Carl. He put us all at ease and was extremely friendly and calming. He explained everything properly to us. Would definitely recommend him.
Fantastic experience: Had 3 ear piercings from Carl, who is extremely professional, polite and puts you at ease. So much so I allowed my 16 year old family member be pierced by him as have full trust and respect for this amazing piercer. Thanks Carl amazing as always
Fantastic experience: Got double helix piercings on my right ear by Carl, £25 each including the starter jewelry. What an amazing shop! Makes you feel cared for and comfortable, with super friendly staff. Overall it's a very personal and enjoyable experience! The actual piercing went super well, with Carl explaining every step before he did it so I knew exactly what was coming next. Could not recommend more and will definitely be coming back for a double helix on my right ear as soon as these have healed. 10/10 no notes!
Fantastic experience: Piercings done by Carl who was absolutely lovely - very helpful, professional and friendly. Will definitely be going back as the environment is lovely and the artists are all very kind. 10/10 recommend!! a
Fantastic experience: Had the nicest experience today, getting tattooed by Abbie. It was so easy to book in (via instagram dm) and she was so kind, she calmed any nerves I’d had! So affordable for such beautifully done work. 1000% going again for my next.
Fantastic experience: Nose piercing by Carl. Friendly and efficient staff, Carl made me feel at ease and made sure I was feeling okay before I left, and I got a lolly to help settle me after a bit of lightheadedness! Really happy with the placement and I was given plenty of aftercare advice
Fantastic experience: I had my Helix done and it was a FANTASTIC experience! The staff were incredibly helpful and very friendly! I highly recommend going here.
Fantastic experience: I had a second helix piercing. Carl was professional, talked me through the whole process, which was quick and easy. The studio is very clean, the staff are very friendly and I’d highly recommend anyone considering a piercing to book here.
Fantastic experience: Had my first tattoo with Sam. She made me feel welcome and at ease the entire time while being professional throughout. Also answered any questions I had after. Oh and she's a brilliant tattooist. Couldn't be happier and can't wait for my next one!
Fantastic experience: Came in today to get my dad's signature tattooed. He past away a month ago and this was an emotional and meaningful tattoo. Abbie took her time to perfect the drawing of the signature to make sure it was both accurate and that I was happy with the piece itself. She was kind and made sure I was comfortable with great conversation. Would 100% recommend coming here and I will be returning for sure! Thank you abbie for the best experience for this tattoo I could not have wished for more.
Fantastic experience: I’ve recently had my first tattoo done by Sam and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From initially enquiring and then to going in to get the tattoo she was so friendly and welcoming. The tattoo looks amazing now and I will definitely return for more!
Fantastic experience: Wouldn't have gone anywhere else for my first tattoo! Sam is an amazing artist and her shop is very professional without feeling uninviting. The tattoo has healed wonderfully and I'm already thinking about the next one. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: First time visiting, from the minute I enquired to actually having my tattoo, Sam was friendly and helpful. Designed an amazing piece and I'm so happy with it, on the day put me at ease and enjoyed my experience. Would definitely go back again and recommend.
Fantastic experience: I came in with an idea for my first tattoo and Abbie turned it into a really pretty design that complements the meaning behind it well. I was very nervous but she was so kind and patient I ended up enjoying the whole experience. I love it so much and it's healing well. Can definitely recommend this studio, even something relatively simple was given a great deal of care and I have a feeling it may not end up being my only tattoo! Thank you so much. EDIT: Just wanted to update this review now I've had the opportunity to get another, larger tattoo this time from Sam. Not to make this review too long but: Very easy booking system Enjoyable design process, Sam made sure I was happy every step of the way and everything I wanted had been included I was very well looked after on the day of my appointment and couldn't believe how quickly the time went! Very prompt response when I had a question about healing afterwards, I followed Sam's advice exactly and a month later the tattoo has healed perfectly Can't give 5 more stars unfortunately but definitely the place to come if you want great customer service and a beautiful, very reasonably priced tattoo from artists who really care
Fantastic experience: Intimate piercing and first tattoo. Lovely staff, fantastic communication before the appointment. On the day, such a calming friendly environment which is important when you are nervous. Very professional, artistic service, with care and compassion thrown into the mix. Love the results, thank you. :-) x
Fantastic experience: Such a wonderful experience here! We were on holiday for a couple of days and we’re so accommodating and helpful! Me and my friend ended up having 4 tattoos and 4 piercings between us. All staff were so knowledgeable and helpful and well as genuinely friendly. I can certainly see why they have been voted one of the top three studios in York for 6 years running! Will definitely be back when we come again. Highly recommend for locals and holiday makers alike.
Fantastic experience: Had my first tattoo designed by Sam and loved it. Made it really easy to tweak things until the design was perfect. Great atmosphere and really friendly, made the experience much better. Really helpful with aftercare etc. Great artist, love the way the tattoo turned out and will definitely be back in future. 100% recommend!
Fantastic experience: Got a last minute tattoo done by Abbie a few weeks ago and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Her work is so amazing and she was super friendly and chatty, made the whole process so much easier! Would 100% reccomend and can't wait to get another done by Abbie next time I'm in York!
Fantastic experience: My friends and I visited during a weekend break to York and we made a last minute appointment to get matching tattoos. Abbie did our tattoos and she was lovely, patient & reassuring. 2 of our group also got piercings with Carl which look great. As it was a first tattoo for some of our group they were understandably nervous but Carl and Abbie chatted away taking making it such a lovely experience. A great memory for us all ❤️
Fantastic experience: Sam was friendly and welcoming as well doing a brilliant job on two tattoos I wanted which one being a rework of a slightly botched tattoo and now looks so stunning & ten times better than before. The service has been fantastic from start to finish and I would highly recommend Sam and the team. I will definitely be back for future tattoos.
Fantastic experience: I went to get my piercing changed over the weekend on my birthday. Not only did Carl advise me over Instagram on sizing, but he was so lovely in person! He was quick, friendly and super professional and made me feel at ease as he knew it was a new piercing for me. He also remembered I had said it was my birthday and wished me. I will definitely be using him in the future to change my piercings because I know it’s been done properly. Thanks so much Carl
Fantastic experience: Review a few days late but had a fabulous matching tattoo with my sister, Abbie the tattooist did them both. She was very kind and friendly! Rest of staff were also welcoming! Would for sure go back for a third visit. Thank you!!!!
Fantastic experience: Had several tattoos here from Abbie, cannot recommend her enough! She is one of the best around at her job in both York and beyond. Incredibly welcoming, helpful and accommodating to any design you have in mind! Overall a comforting and incredibly enjoyable experience every time she’s tattooed me. A pure talent through and through.
Fantastic experience: Got my first tattoo in January with Sam. Naturally I was a bit nervous but the team made the whole process really enjoyable. From the design, to the tattoo process, to the fun discussions while being tattooed it was a great experience. Cannot wait for the next one.
Fantastic experience: Me and my bestie visited here and were instantly made to feel welcome by Abbie and Carl. Abbie did both of us a bestie tattoo with our initials inside a heart and we both love them. My bestie then got her Daith pierced by Carl who made her feel comfortable throughout. All in all a very pleasant experience for my first ever tattoo. Aftercare was explained clearly and we were told to ring them if any problems but there were no problems and everything was perfect. Thank you both from 2 happy besties, we will be back ❤❤
Fantastic experience: I was booked in on October to have my nose pierced, however that had to be postponed due to an emergency. I was absolutely fine with it being postponed, and waited a few months to re-book as I live in Devon. Safe to say it was absolutely worth the wait. I came in today to have not just my nose done, but my helix done too. He was incredibly informative, made me feel relaxed, professional without feeling uncomfortable. I 10/10 would recommend and I will be re-booking next time I visit! Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Carl was amazing! Went in for a helix piercing and I was nervous but he calmed me down and was very friendly and professional. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone and will use again if I ever want more piercings!
Fantastic experience: This tattoo parlour is amazing. So friendly and approachable on social media when booking. Really reassuring in person - it was my first tattoo! Abbie explained everything thoroughly, was really kind and patient. I really love my tattoo and I will definitely be back for more. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Carl did an amazing job doing my second nose piercing. I hadn’t been pierced in 12 years so was a little apprehensive but he was such a calming presence and also very fun. I didn’t feel a thing! My friend got her ears pierced and she was extremely worried going in but was smiling after the first one! 100% recommend.
Fantastic experience: I got my first tattoo here yesterday and I could not be happier. The service was quick but not rushed at all, the staff created a comfortable environment and were honest and passionate about what they do. Abbie was my artist and she had an endless amount of talent, patience and confidence whilst working with me. This is the place to go!
Fantastic experience: A very friendly parlour, with knowledgable staff (a big thank you to Carl) and a calm vibe. Carl helped to re-pierce my Septum after another piercing parlour pierced it wonky, he was incredibly reassuring and efficient. I'd highly recommend for their service but also their competitive pricing :)
Fantastic experience: We phoned on Saturday afternoon for a walk in appointment and they were able to see us half an hour later. Abbie (an apprentice) sketched exactly what we asked for without need for edit and tattooed us within and hour. She was brilliant and we are both soooooo happy with the finished product and the service. Thanks also to Carl who was there and was lovely too.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fabulous service from Carl when getting my piercings! I hadn’t had any for a while so was quite nervous, but he was so friendly and really put me at ease - it was also very quick with minimal discomfort. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Carl's done 6 piercings for me since 2020 and I've also taken my youngest daughter (11yrs) for first lobe piercings. Professional, friendly and fantastic with daughter who was very nervous. Piercings done properly with a needle as you would expect from such an establishment. Piercings have all healed well - aftercare advice is simple and works if followed. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: When I had a tattoo done, I was made to feel comfortable the whole time. Sam was really easy to talk to and we all had a good laugh. I was offered advice on placement and size as I was a bit clueless! The whole experience was really positive and I'd definitely return for any future tattoos I wanted doing. Sam is really skilled, and quick!
Absolutely put pleasure you're welcome back anytime, thanks for your lovely.words x
Fantastic experience: I had 5 lobe piercings and one cartilage done by Carl, for my first piercings ever. He was really reassuring and helped me understand the process, keeping me relaxed when I started to get anxious. His professional and calming nature was second to none, and I'm so glad that I chose him to do my piercings. After that, I'll definitely be back to him for any more piercings or tattoos! Thank you Carl!
Fantastic experience: Second Review Been wanting my tattoo for years, finally got myself round to getting it sorted. 4 years ago my world broke when my Nanna passed, I don't think it will ever heal but this certainly has! ☺️ Couldn't be happier with how it's turned out. Big thanks to Sam and the team!! The detail and care are top notch and everyone I've shown it to loves it, especially my Grandad pics of it first done and healed :D First Review Went in to get my ears redone and get a second piercing on each lobe. All the staff have been amazing start to finish! Thank you to Carl especially who has put up with my ears rejecting studs in favour of hoops. Staff were more than accommodating each time I went back to get the studs replaced. Highly reccomend this place to anyone!!! Multiple reviews as Google won't allow you to make separate ones -.-
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at this lovely little studio! All the staff were super friendly and helpful, and created a very relaxing atmosphere. I was tattooed by their lovely apprentice Abbie, who was super professional and thorough. My tattoo has healed perfectly and looks great. Would definitely recommend this studio and I will be back! :)
Fantastic experience: I had a tattoo from Sam and am delighted with the results! The tattoos have healed really well and the designs are beautiful. The whole shop has great vibes and everyone is super friendly. 10/10 will be going in for my future tattoos.
Fantastic experience: My experience with Chiralty Ink and with Sam has been outstanding. I was looking for a very specific and personal tattoo. Every step of the way the communication was great up to the day of the appointment. On the day Sam and her team were wonderful, friendly and understanding of my expectations and fears. I have had a few tattoos done in the past in other places this one was definitely the most important to me. I couldnt be happier with the results. The aftercare products i was given were of very good quantity and now my tattoo has healed I can only try to express my gratitude to Sam and her team. Trust is important when one gets a tattoo done, I would ( and surely shortly will) go back to Sam and or recommend her without hesitation. Thank you again. J.
Fantastic experience: Lovely place, makes you feel at ease as I'm always nervous when getting a tattoo. Sam is fast and her designs are great. I got what I asked for and more. Just glad I had the upper arm done, because I want to show everyone how good it is. Looking forward to going back for another one at some point when I've decided what exactly I want.
Fantastic experience: When I’m York, this is the place I first think of when I want another tattoo. The artists are all lovely and so talented. They managed to illustrate my ideas perfectly, I have had two tattoos from there so far, and I absolutely love them! Recommended this place to my housemate and she got a tattoo there too! Would recommend to anyone who is looking into tattoo places in York, and I’ll definitely be over for more tattoos!
Fantastic experience: My tattoo artist was Sam! The process was smooth to get booked in and seen too, the staff were all super friendly and chatty which is perfect if you like that kind of atmosphere. The tattoo itself healed really nicely, really happy with how the shading ended up, it's not overly dark or too light... And it was exactly what I asked for. All in all I'm really happy with my experience and would book again!
