This tattoo shop does everything perfect from the moment you walk in the door and get a friendly greeting from Baz to all staff members making you feel welcome regardless of why you're there. Shop is kitted out with a lot of cool stuff which is impressive to look at. Shop is ALWAYS clean and tidy and the toilets are always CLEAN. I suffer with anxiety and at first I was nervous about having long sittings but the artists go above and beyond to make you feel okay. I had a 15 hour sitting with Alex Rattray over 2 days and he made the whole experience perfect from breaks for food to going above and beyond to making sure I'm okay, all around a great experience. If you're considering a shop for a tattoo I highly recommend you come here you will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Artist and Great Experience! I recently got my first tattoo and couldn't be happier. My artist, Dan Gembus, was outstanding. He offered comprehensive advice on alternatives, the placement, sizes and provided excellent guidance throughout. His technique was superb; there was no bleeding, and the pain was very manageable. Dan Gembus is also extremely friendly and communicative, making the whole session relaxed and enjoyable. Highly recommend Dan for his skill and professionalism!

Fantastic experience: I had both a piercing and a tattoo done here today, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The team made me feel completely comfortable and walked me through everything step by step. The piercing was quick, clean, and perfectly placed, and the tattoo turned out even better than I imagine, so much attention to detail and artistry. The studio itself is welcoming and spotless, which really put me at ease. I’m so grateful for the care and professionalism, and I’ll definitely be coming back for my next piece. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Absolut perfect experience, very clean Studio, heartwarming nice people Had been on a roadtrip, last 2 days visiting Glasgow.

Great job and big love to Kaitlyn

Fantastic experience: Last week we get a piercing from Kaitlynn. It was very spontaneous but they squeezed us into the schedule because it was our last vacation day. My friend was getting a nostril- it was his first piercing ever - and I got my tenth ear piercing. She did such a good job at both piercings. She explained everything and was so nice and funny. Never had such a good piercer like her. Would definitely recommend the empire studio. The atmosphere was relaxed and everyone was so friendly.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Empire Ink. The tattoo artist did a brilliant job with recreating "there is always hope" in Elvish. I always wanted a tattoo inspired by the writings of my favorite author, J.R.R. Tolkien! I highly recommend Empire Ink.

Fantastic experience: Been travelling from Ayr for laser tattoo removal at empire ink glasgow and has definitely been worth it. Really flexible with appointments and very professional service.

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing tatoo done by the artist Cheryl . She was very gentle and caring . Such a brilliant artist . Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I was booked in with Alex Cheng for tattoos drawn by my 5yo daughter. She was fantastic on the day, sitting down with me to discuss placement of the tattoos, and how they should each be positioned. There was one she wasn’t confident in doing as she didn’t do realism, but was more than happy to suggest one of the other artists within the shop. The place is absolutely brilliant, and the whole process from booking, to discussing the tattoo aftercare, was second to none. I’ll most definitely be back for more in the near future.

Fantastic experience: Got a tattoo of the namazu from the game FF XIV by John. Absolutely nailed it and makes sure to go above and beyond for after care. Staff are all lovely as well!

Fantastic experience: I visited Empire ink Glasgow on Christmas eve and got 3 small tattoos by Rachel Lea Nugent. I had contacted them the day before and Rachel was extremely friendly and helpful. On the day her manner was the same , extremely diligent and conversational whilst ensuring I was comfortable. My perception of the studio itself was very reputable, clean and professional whilst having a relaxed vibe. I would definitely re-visit.

Fantastic experience: I went in for my first tattoo after doing a bit of looking online and getting one of my pal’s (who has several tattoos) advice on where and who to go to. I’m very satisfied with how everything went and how my tattoo turned out. I plan to return for my next tattoo (which will hopefully be in the near future).

Fantastic experience: Went to go get angel fangs done, the piercer was very nice and patient with me and overall lovely to talk to and get pierced by. The front desk was also very welcoming as well, just overall everyone was really friendly. Was given an aftercare leaflet to tell me how exactly to take care of my piercings while they heal.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic place with the friendliest artists. Had my first tattoo experience with Dan in October and just back from my second. Dan was patient, friendly and really knowledgeable in explaining the best aftercare to help heal a new tattoo and needless to mention an incredibly talented artist. The studio itself has a bright and inviting vibe with loads of cool pop culture artwork. I will definitely continue to consult Empire Ink for any future tattoos!

Fantastic experience: Got 8 ear piercings in 3 months at this place, no inflammation or severe bleeding so far - I would say this is probably the best spot in town to get peircings done. Kaitlin is very kind and professional which makes it much less painful, the whole service would always be a complete vip experience. Kaitlin would always confirm the process in advance while going through multiple tasks, very starter-friendly also done perfectly with more advanced piercings. Definately recommend.

Fantastic experience: Barry was very kind and made an appointment for me a few hours after my request. After the meet and greet with Travis from blink182, I wanted to get his autograph tattooed, Rachel was fantastic and managed to accommodate me, even though the ink from the marker was a little faded. I didn't feel any pain and she made me feel at ease. I absolutely recommend this studio!!

Fantastic experience: My 14 year old daughter had a great experience today getting her ears pierced , both lobes and Helix. Kaitlin was amazing, put her at ease and was totally professional throughout the session.

Fantastic experience: I recently got my second and third lobes done by Kaitlyn, and they look fantastic! Kaitlyn was incredibly helpful and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire process.

I highly recommend Kaitlyn and will definitely be returning for more piercings in the future!

Fantastic experience: I got my first tattoo today, I was abit nervous, but the person at the desk not sure his name, assured me I would be fine. Alex was great, definitely going back to get another one.

Fantastic experience: By far the best experience in Scotland, after a quick search in Google and a list minute appointment with the right design with right font, Alice did a wonderful job on my tattoo.
