The Old Tattoo Emporium

Fantastic experience: I've had all of my 11 piercings done here over the years and I'll go back for more soon. Very professional, ninja piercer that does an amazing job and explains piercing care amazingly. Would not go anywhere else for my piercings in the future. If your looking to get an affordable, high quality piercing done with a great woman this is the place to be. Had my first two tattoos done over the past 2 months and they are amazing. Not only is she quick, but she's very talented. I love my tattoos. She's also very friendly and talkative.

Fantastic experience: Excellent amazing staff friendly and very welcoming would not go anywhere else for my tattoos

Fantastic experience: Amazing place make my daughter feel so comfortable and welcomed i can't thank Kerry enough for chatting her Anxiety away about tarantulas and jumping spiders This is the only place to go when wanting piercings and tattoos

Fantastic experience: Been having tattoos from Katt for over 20 years now, have recommended lots who also use her consistently, Katt and the team at Old Tattoo emporium are awesome, always make you feel welcome and unlike many tattoo shops it has such a friendly and chill vibe there, Kerry is great with piercings too, quick and always has a laugh, always great after care advise and support for both tattoo and piercing after care, Katt is always ready to listen and take on any ideas, re working stuff until it's just right for you, love this place can't recommended enough, keep up the great work guys

Fantastic experience: Best Tattoo and Piercing shop in Wolverhampton. Ive had many piercings done by Kerry and wouldn't go any where else. Kerry always put you at ease throughout. Ive had a previous tattoo done by Katt and have just booked for another tattoo for myself and daughter with Katt. Katt's work is amazing, shes very approachable and will talk to you about what you want at the time of booking. Wouldn't dream of going anywhere else now other than TOTE for my piercings or tattoo's

Fantastic experience: This leg tattoo is an absolute masterpiece. The detail is insane—every line is clean, intentional, and perfectly placed to flow with the shape of the leg. It’s bold without being overwhelming, artistic without trying too hard, and it somehow manages to look powerful and elegant at the same time. The shading and depth give it real movement, like it’s alive on the skin. This isn’t just a tattoo—it’s wearable art, and it elevates the entire leg. Straight-up showstopper

Fantastic experience: I get my tattoos done with Katt!! She’s so talented and always calms my nerves when getting tattooed, she really has became a close friend and I can’t wait for my next amazing tattoo with you!

Fantastic experience: Best tattoos I’ve ever had and really friendly can’t wait to come again

Fantastic experience: Fun friendly and super talented! I wouldn’t go anywhere else for tattoo or piercings same for all my family! The pricing is so reasonable and when you enter it’s so warm and welcoming! I’ve seen the girls had some fun with caricatures the same as 1000s across Facebook and instagram and we loved seeing these as they not only looked like the girls they also matched there personality! These girls are amazing!!! They are straight to the point not trying to sell things unnecessary and treat every one as if they are VIP friends and family

Fantastic experience: Iv been goin to tote for years and wouldn't dream of goin anywhere else. The amazing staff always make you feel welcome and nothing is ever to much trouble. I recommend the old tattoo emporium to everyone

Fantastic experience: Most chill down to earth bunch been coming for about 18months and had a lot of work done in that time plus a piercing. Fab designs , even when you just have an idea they draw up exactly what you describe! Officially my happy place, highly recommend ❤️ picture of work in progress !

Negative experience: Used to go all the time but haven’t been since I moved away. Had a very disappointing interaction about ai on their facebook as I thought a tattoo studio of all places would understand the harm it’s having on the value of true art. However after being blocked by the Facebook page I did more digging and found the owner herself is using ai generated images and passing them off as her own designs. Very very disappointing. Quite obvious I won’t be returning.

Fantastic experience: been here twice now for my nose and helix piercing. the staff are all so lovely and the piercer , kerry, made me and my friends feel relaxed and comfortable, she explained everything well too. definitely will be back soon and i recommend getting your piercings done here

Fantastic experience: Kerry gave my 2 daughters piercings and she was an absolute vibe! Lovely from start to finish, would definitely recommend and travel from Bloxwich all the way over again. Thanks guys

Fantastic experience: Second time coming here. Kerry is so calming and the piercing is done before you even have chance to realise. She kept me calm and talked the whole time. The other staff are also really friendly. 10/10

Fantastic experience: I was nervous to get my nose pierced today but I came in and the woman doing it genuinely calmed me down so much and was so lovely about everything. I recommend this place for the price and how amazing all of the staff were :))

Fantastic experience: I come here to get my piercings done. Such a lovely environment and vibe. Everyone’s very friendly and welcoming ☺️

Fantastic experience: Had my 3rd tattoo at the old tattoo emporium today with Jade the artist. Wow, so so pleased with the tattoo. So much detail went into it and what can I say about Jade, she’s one of the best tattoo artists I’ve know, she’s unbelievable and I thank you so much. Will always get them done there and 100% by Jade. Would highly highly recommend without hesitation. Friendly staff who just make conversation with you and very clean and tidy studio. Again thanks from Lee

Fantastic experience: Wow Jade did an awesome job, especially considering it was my first tattoo. This lady is a legend, we chatted loads, cracking jokes the whole time making me feel at ease and relaxed for my first experience, it was the best. And OMG my tattoo looks wkd! So happy. She did a great job at merging two individual images into one beautiful design. Will definitely be back!!

Fantastic experience: I've had many tattoo's and piercings done at tote, when the time is right for my younger daughter to have her piercing I'll be going back to kerry. If I could put more than 5 stars I would. They are very friendly and good if your nervous but also don't mind if you need breaks or have to go for more than 1 sitting for the same tattoo.

Fantastic experience: Myself and my kids always go here for our piercings. The staff are absolutely amazing! So great with nervous kids too. They take their time to calm kids before doing anything. Always make sure that it’s where you want it. We all love the doodle wall!!! I will never go any where else for my piercings.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic girls at tote wouldnt go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: What can I say?! I heard about T.O.T.E for a while but I was very reluctant to go there for a tattoo but I finally gave in and got a tattoo done there and I must say the studio was very clean, the girls at T.O.T.E are really friendly and the tattooist Jade was very professional and made sure I was okay whilst having my tattoo done. T.O.T.E will always be my go to place for tattoos! Make sure you go get your tattoos booked in guys! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: All of the ladies here are so kind and it’s a really warm and kind environment they make you feel confident and comfortable however they can and hype you up when needed. Kez had done all my piercings and has hyped me up before and after every single one and Jade has done both of my tattoos she was so kind and so was Katt. Everyone here is so so easy to communicate with and id never go elsewhere. I also have to note I had both my nipples pierced here which I was anxious about but quickly melted away with the comfort and hyping up done

Fantastic experience: Me and my husband were tattood by Katt at TOTE last weekend, we’ve already booked in for February! Everyone at the shop are amazing, Katt is the most experienced tattooist I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. It was such a relaxing experience, super chilled with no pressure or expectations. My husband had his nose pierced whilst we were there, the piercer is the coolest hooman on the planet! Thanks guys! Can’t wait for our session in Feb! Steph and Rich xx

Fantastic experience: Myself and daughter have had a few pricings from Kerry and she is absolutely amazing. My daughter was a little apprehensive but Kerry soon made her feel safe ❤️ Also had a few tattoos by Jade and Waw!!! She is absolutely amazing, so calm which intern made me feel at ease. Fantastic girls with an amazing atmosphere Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Kat did an amazing job with my tattoo, an amazing atmosphere. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Always go here for my piercings. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and have great aftercare advice.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved them I was being a pain with them but they helped me pick times and get my tattoo finished and absolutely lovely with piercings aswell lovely team :)

Fantastic experience: I’ve wanted a second nose piercing for a while but never quite got around to it. My wife told me about The Old Tattoo Emporium, so I finally decided to go for it. I can be quite socially awkward, so I was a bit nervous about going in. The reception area is fairly small, and when I arrived there were already quite a few people waiting. Part of me wanted to use that as an excuse to leave - but that would have meant walking out in front of everyone! When my name was called, I went in, and honestly, I don’t know why I was so worried. Kerry, who did my piercing, was incredibly welcoming and immediately put me at ease. I felt comfortable and safe the whole time. She took the time to explain the difference between a hoop and a bar piercing, and I’m so happy with the result. I’ll definitely be back if I decide to get another piercing. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: such friendly staff, 10/10 customer service piercing was quick and easy. (belly and nose) Will definitely be visiting again!!!

Fantastic experience: Brillant listen to what you want understands.Very professional and caring great art work.I love coming here.I am nervous every time but that always goes away ss soon as they start my Tattoo.

Fantastic experience: The best place for piercings in Wolverhampton!! Kerry made the process so easy and comfortable for me, and always gives the best advice for you. Thank you for being patient with me!!

Fantastic experience: Katt was amazing, been after a tattoo to remember my nephew by for ages and couldn't find the right one....until I visited TOTE! Katt and the staff were friendly, creative and welcoming and the end result was perfect....thank you

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff looked after me both times I have been in great to chat and laugh whilst having the tattoo done highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place. The artists are excellent, it's clean, inclusive and friendly. Not only that, it has great parking adjacent. I wouldn't consider any other tattooist locally and recommend. My wife and me both have very different style tattoos and they accommodate them both excellently. Also unlike the rest of the tattoo studios in Wolverhampton, they charge a fair price for quality work.

Fantastic experience: I had my first tattoo piece today here and wow, I am so, so happy, I love it!! From the time I first popped in to have a chat about an idea the ladies were so friendly and welcoming and very honest with suggestions. My tattoo was done by Jade and my experience was fantastic, she is lovely and made me feel so relaxed, Jade's work is amazing and ai highly recommend here for anyone thinking of a tattoo or piercing. Booking in for next one soon!!

Fantastic experience: I've had 2 tats at the Old Tattoo Emporium now and have been incredibly impressed with everything. The people are so friendly, understanding and patient and I have been amazed at the quality of the work. I would highly recommend them and will be going back for my next one in a few weeks. Hygiene is taken seriously and they go to lots of effort to understand what you want and how they can help. If you're getting a tat, definitely go here, you won't be disappointed

Fantastic experience: Got my first art work done, by the fabulous people at The Old Tattoo Emporium. Accomodating, and always make an effort even in busy periods and made me feel welcomed, a nice touch. Would happily go there again, for every piece I want either designed, or has already been designed, and I urge all of you people who want some ink, or even a piercing, to go here, you won't regret it. Excellent prices, which seem even better when you place a deposit ! Lovely atmosphere and very awesome ! Update. I've since been back and had more tattoos, like I said I would in my original review.

Fantastic experience: Had 3 amazing tattoos done by Jade here and a couple of piercings by Kerry. Such a lovely environment, all the ladies are super friendly, they make you feel like they've known you for years it's wonderful. Always such a delight to get something done here, you will be well looked after. All the ladies are amazing artists and they're work is incredible!

Fantastic experience: Daughter and wife had a helix piercing and the piercer was excellent. Would recommend. Kerry was as good as always very friendly and professional. Would not recommend anyone else for piercing.

Fantastic experience: Had such a lovely experience, the staff was so kind and helpful. My piercing (septum) is so nice and i love it. I would recommend to anyone looking for a piercing to go here!

Fantastic experience: Honestly the best place for piercings. She’s kind, friendly and really knows her stuff. I went to a different piercer before her and he really botched my septum piercing to the point where I now have a lot of scar tissue, and scar tissue can make piercings more painful than they already are. But she did the piercing brilliantly with minimal pain and it looks amazing! I also got my eyebrow pierced and she was so gentle and reassuring. They’ve definitely gained a repeat costumer.

Fantastic experience: Walked in here around 3 years ago to get a couple of faded old tattoos covered up , Here we are 2025 and I'm still getting tatts added ,I gave Nat ( there are other tattooist & piercing ladies available there Kat & Kerry )more or less a free reign and decided to let her knowledge & experience do the job required , she has not disappointed & I have received many compliments on the work she has created upto yet on right & left arms & both hands , Nat is a great tattooist who is considerate & very skilled ,the shop is very clean staff are welcoming & friendly ,note it's a very busy place & sessions/appointments are approximately 3 months in advance on tattoos ( maybe less on small tattoos) If you are thinking of getting a tattoo/ cover up or piercing do check these guys out prices are very competitive & they are super friendly people they will effort put you at ease .

Fantastic experience: Daughter (13) had belly button done. Lady doing it was really great with her, professional and friendly too.

Fantastic experience: This is our go to place for piercing. The skill and professionalism is outstanding, price is unbeatable, the service, advice and follow up first rate and super friendly.

Fantastic experience: I've had 8 piercings here and they have healed well each time. The girls are all lovely and make you feel relaxed and anxious. The prices are also good!!

Fantastic experience: These guys were amazing. I came to get my belly button pierced and was nervous and the lady piercing me was very sweet about it and helped me feel better. She offered advice for taking care of my piercing and overall, I had a wonderful and pleasant experience. I will be returning to get my septum pierced!!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to the shop now for over 12 years. Kerry is a brilliant piercer, very friendly and makes you feel at ease if you have any nerves about your piercing, that all goes out the window once you meet Kerry. I have had many piercings done by her. In all those years the prices have NEVER changed for piercings £10 for all piercings and they provide a walk in service. Love it! The shop is very clean and nice layout. I have also had two tattoos done here and the detail and line work is literally an art peace!

Fantastic experience: Nat, I absolutely love her work on me. Top class!!! The ladies in the shop are so welcoming and funny. I wouldn't go anywhere else to get my tats done!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Had both nipples pierced by Kerry, she was fantastic! Friendly, welcoming and puts you right at ease! Will be back for any future piercings and would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: My daughter is in Wolves visiting family, her cousin told her about this studio which does £10 piercings. I goggled the place and realised I got one of my earlier tattoos done here so I was happy with her attending as the studio and its staff are clean and have high standards. My daughters just called me, she’s so happy. Belly button piercing done but besides this she told me how the lady who pierced her was so understanding and reassuring. She took her time with my daughter and answered all her questions; her name is Kerry. So Kerry if you read this thank you so much, it’s nice to know good people like you still exist in the world. My daughter said she will now be travelling down from Manchester to Wolves for her future piercings.

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming, Jess was fab, and the tattoos exceeded expectations! Thank you. Love that it’s an all female crew too.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience with my daughter 3 weeks ago who had two piercings. Today me and mom popped down for a matching tattoo. Jess was brilliant and we just love them. All women working there made it very comfortable. Thanks ladies.

Fantastic experience: First tattoo in a few years, but first time in this shop. I cannot speak highly enough of Kate and all the people in the shop. Great service, friendly, kind, considerate, great chat too whilst in the chair. Very very happy, will recommend and 100% will be back.

Even when I had issues with what I'd designed they worked with me to make something unique work instead of just telling me no. X The piercing I had was also a good experience, I was nervous and was made to feel comfortable. Even when I returned because I felt the piercing was too tight absolutely no problem and a great price
