Fantastic experience: I wanted a small tattoo and all other places in Manchester said it would cost around £80-150 and would take around an hour. Here they did it for £50 and under 20 minutes, it came out way better then I expected it too even from other tattoo shops. Staff are really friendly and down to earth. I would go again, definitely recommend! :D

Fantastic experience: I have had 2 tattoos done by Tom , they have been the first tattoos I’ve had and I felt very comfortable and in safe hands throughout both experiences. I left both appointments extremely happy with my tattoos and service. Will never be going anywhere else apart from here , I couldn’t recommend him enough .

Negative experience: Wow is all i can say to this place, i messaged the facebook page with a photo of my neck which needed the hexagons shading in on monday, he told me to come in on Wednesday at 11.30am. I turned up and apologised as i was 5 min late due to not knowing where this dingy place was. I was instantly laughed at and told it needs a lot of work pointing out a skull with a knife he said “what kind of moths wing is that “ Its not a wing its clearly a knife. I have been to some horrible establishments over my years but how i was made to feel in studio 81 was a joke. The man absolutely stunk of BO, im not sure if i could of even sat and let him tattoo me anyway due to his cleanliness. I walked out and will never be going back to this nasty place again. Stay clear don’t waste your time.

Fantastic experience: great service, absolutely love my tattoo

Fantastic experience: Today I had my 4th and 5th tattoo done by Tom, and once again had a great experience. Friendly, welcoming and a great atmosphere! This was the first time I had pre-booked, explained what I would like and Tom smashed it! Amazing studio! I’m sure I will be back soon!!

Fantastic experience: Went to Manchester today to take my little brother out for his birthday and I thought I'd treat myself to a tattoo in Manchester. Never known of any tattoo places before in Manchester as I'm not from the area but the first place I went was Tattoo Studio 81 and the customer service there was so friendly. They welcomed me so nicely and Mark who was working at the studio with his brother today, straight away they attended to my needs and happily managed to get me in for a tattoo straight away. I'll just say this Mark has done a really nice job with my daisy tattoo and he picked the perfect place on my arm to tattoo it on too as I had a big gap filler and he filled that area on my arm so perfect. So thank you Mark today for the tattoo. If anyone who is from the Manchester area or if anyone is after any tattoos and they're taking a day out to Manchester. Please visit Mark and his brother at Tattoo Studio 81, they are great guys and they have some nice artwork. Thanks for today guys and if I'm ever in Manchester again, I'll happily come and give you guys a visit.
