Design 4 Life Tattoo and Piercing

Fantastic experience: I was looking to get a sleeve tattoo to cover up an older tattoo of mine and had spoke to Maryam. She is an absolutely incredible artist! I originally just had the pocket watch tattoo and another tattoo i wanted covering but she designed the entire sleeve around the watch and did some touch up work on it for me which was greatly appreciated. She goes through everything with you and keeps you at ease the entire process. i cant recommend her enough honestly. Everyone in here is incredibly friendly too if you want a tattoo and are in Liverpool this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: Maryam and Jaz were both amazing today when I got new piercings and a tattoo fixed (originally done elsewhere). Both very friendly and super helpful with any questions I had, I'll never go anywhere else for tattoos and piercings!

She really takes the time to talk you through the whole process so when it came to start I felt completely safe and relaxed. She is also incredibly easy to book with as well as having a great aftercare system. I will definitely be sticking with her for any work I want done in the future!

Fantastic experience: Lea & Maryam was absolutely amazing, told her what I was looking for and how much I could spend, she worked with me to make sure I could get a design that Id love while still keeping within my budget, Maryam is a lovely person with an excellent taste in music!

Fantastic experience: Very last minute walk in on our way home from Liverpool, seen Jack who was very helpful, knowledgeable and produced two awesome tattoos for me and my wife. Will definitely be going back for another when we’re next in Liverpool. Great service

Fantastic experience: Great experience & a lovely permanent reminder!!! Sadly we had recently lost our lovely puss cat Soxs after 18 years with us. She left a massive hole and a very empty house! I decided to remember Soxs with a tattoo over my heart, of her paw print which she left for us in our garage on the newly laid floor. So off to Design 4 Life as a well made snap decision to have her paw print etched on my heart. Walked in early doors & got it all arranged there & then. Maryan did the artwork and very gentle she was too. Never felt a thing. "REALLY!" not a scratch even. Tattoo Looks lovely. I know Soxs is with me always now. Thanks Maryan & Design 4 Life. Alan...........

Fantastic experience: Had a tattoo done by Morgan and couldn't have asked for a better experience. She listened to what I wanted when designing the tattoo and the result was more than I could have asked for. She was very aware the entire time, offering breaks throughout and she has been available via email both before and after the tattoo to answer any questions I had and always responded quickly, even outside of working hours. Would 100% recommend and will be going back for my next tattoo.
