Mortez Tattoo & Piercing: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I’ve been to Mortez several times now for a piercing and several tattoo sessions with Gillian. Everyone at Mortez is so nice and the atmosphere in the shop is really chilled. Gillian is not only an awesome person but an incredible artist. When everyone else told me my old tattoos couldn’t be covered without laser, Gillian accepted the challenge and I couldn’t be happier! I assumed I’d have to have dark boring cover ups but Gillian is giving me better than I could have imagined! So vibrant and unique. Thanks Gillian and the Mortez crew for always looking after us when we visit
Fantastic experience: Honestly I wouldn't go anywhere else. Gillian is excellent at what she does and always listens to what you want. Im good with the pain as Mortez is just a cool place to hang out
Thank you for the beautiful review. We appreciate you.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been back to see Gillian at Mortez a few times now, and she’s honestly the only person I trust with my skin at this point. What I love about her is that she actually listens. I’ve gone in with some pretty vague ideas, and she’ll just sit there and hand-draw something custom that looks ten times better than what I had in my head. She’s done everything for me—some really solid black and grey work, pieces with vibrant colour that’s still bright months later, and a cover-up that I honestly didn’t think was possible to hide. You literally can’t see the old tattoo anymore. The shop itself has a great vibe—everyone’s dead sound and it doesn't feel intimidating like some studios can. If you’re looking for someone who is a proper artist and actually cares about the flow of the design, go see Gillian. She’s a legend.
Fantastic experience: Got my Labret done by Terri and she was so amazing the whole time, great chat and made sure everything was perfect!! Will be back for my next piercing :)
Fantastic experience: Brilliant staff,great design ideas , always friendly and helpful
Fantastic experience: Gillian is an incredible tattoo artist. She’s super laid back and instantly makes you feel at ease, which makes the whole experience so comfortable which is great when it’s your first time! Her artistry is next level—personal, creative, and executed with amazing detail. You can really tell how much care she puts into her work, and the final result always exceeds expectations. I couldn’t recommend her more to anyone looking for amazing tattoos and a great overall experience!
Fantastic experience: Very happy indeed with my Tattoo.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended studio with incredible artists and a genuinely fun, friendly atmosphere. Gillian (Stealth Badger) has created multiple designs and tattoos for me and still manages to amaze me every single time. I’m currently having a full sleeve originally done at another studio and disliked for years completely reworked as a full cover‑up. Other studios told me it couldn’t be done… but not the case at Mortez. The consultations, the design process, the service, and the hilarious chat are second to none. I wouldn’t put my trust anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Got a tattoo done here. I stalked off a recommendation Gillian badger (stealth_badger) instagram and was super impressed with her work. Had a few ideas and Gillian set down with me and really helped hammer out the qualities in the different ideas to help get a design which complimented the placing and gave me a tattoo which i absolutely treasure. I was only in the country for a short while and she helped me and worked with my schedule. Good chats, comfy environment and i would give a 100/10 if I could. Also super gentle if you’re someone squeamish, absolutely blown awaylove love♀️loved the experience.
Fantastic experience: Gillian was my artist and made me feel very welcome and helped me all through my appointment. During my appointment I got two tattoos and she was very patient going through the pre-consultation and in the end the work turned out great and was exactly what I wanted. Im very happy with the result and I will be returning to add more soon.
Fantastic experience: Lovely people in a great space, the whole experience was relaxed ans friendly. Kayleigh was especially lovely and I love the way my piercings turned out!
Hi Jennifer. Thank you for the lovely review, hope to see you in the studio again soon!
Fantastic experience: Have now had four tattoos at Mortez, with Gillian doing the designs and tattoos. Absolutely outstanding! Nothing is a hassle, designs are amazing and the results are fantastic. Gave Gillian a bit of creative licence to renew a 25 year old tattoo and she did a magnificent job. Love the artwork! Would highly recommend!
Hi James, thank you so much for taking the time to give us such a wonderful review. Great having you in as always, hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Stopped in while on vacation & Taylor was able to get us while we were in town - she did a fantastic job for our tattoos. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: i have been coming here for a number of years and literally travel across the country to see the artists here particularly my girl Gillian Badger AKA Stealth Badger. she works wonders on my EDS skin and its not even been a week and im already thinking hmm when can i get down for more
Fantastic experience: Amazing work again from Gillian Badger at mortez tattoo. Second session of a cover up and honestly can’t be happier. Looking forward to my last session and many more from Gillian. Fab shop, wonderful staff can’t recommend enough.
Fantastic experience: I had my tattoo done by Taylor and it turned out great! She was also really nice to talk to and took proper time to make sure the design was perfect for me. All the other people working at the studio seemed nice too and the atmosphere at the studio was really nice. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Gillian done my tattoo, amazing tattooist. Would highly recommend and I will be back for more. Thank u
Fantastic experience: What a beautiful studio! The nicest, most helpful staff on reception (I spoke with Roz), and the piercer Kayleigh were so easy to deal with. The artists all look fantastic too! I will be back to get all my tattoos done here from now on =D
Fantastic experience: I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a tattoo! My husband and I have been getting tattoos by Gillian for a while now. I was pretty clueless about what to go for initially- I knew I wanted something in a Celtic design and I was so happy and impressed with Gillian’s design and ideas. She is insanely talented - all her designs are amazing and she has a wide range of artistic style. We have great chats too and she patiently puts up with my middle-aged ramblings! Everyone is really friendly and you’re welcomed as soon as you come in. The studio is also spotlessly clean and comfortable. Google won’t let me add my photos but I highly recommend Mortez.
Fantastic experience: Mortez Tattoo & Piercing, on entering the studio, surely strikes all first-time visitors as a clean, well-ordered, welcoming and friendly space. From the front desk to the chair (or Hot Seat as I like to call it) everything is calm, seamless, and inviting. Both "professional" and "warm" are words I am entirely confident of using. A hat tip then to Roz, on the desk, and Jed, who put needle to skin on this occasion, both for myself and a family member: both were stars. I am sure there shall be more visits to Mortez on the horizon.
Aww thanks JD! What a lovely review =D
Fantastic experience: Amazing as always I had a tattoo with Gillian! It’s my second tattoo with her and both times I came here I had great experiences. The sketches she drew up I loved and didn’t need to change anything. Everyone at the shop is lovely and it’s overall a good vibe with cool art to get tattooed in️ I love my new tattoo
Fantastic experience: Fantastic work done by the artists on a cover up for me and tattoo for my wife. Was her first time getting a tattoo and both artists and staff very extremely friendly and nice making the whole experience excellent for her as she was very nervoud.My cover up was done amazingly along with my wife's tattoo both pieces are incredible and artists extremely talented. I highly recommend the shop.
Fantastic experience: Gillian and Amanda were both so lovely, it was my first tattoo and they really helped me feel extremely comfortable. Their skills are unreal and the tattoos turned out even better than I ever imagined. Lovely experience thank you for everything ❤️❤️
Fantastic experience: 1st time in here after being recommended by a few friends. Great experience. Very clean place with great result at the end. Will return soon
Fantastic experience: Had a few tattoos done by Gillian now and will no doubt be back for more! The staff are all lovely, super welcoming and knowledgeable! Ive recommended these guys to lots of people I know ❤️
Fantastic experience: I’ve had 4 tattoos done by Gillian now, including 3 cover-ups – one of them was a horrible tattoo I’d been stuck with for 10 years (I can't explain how awful this thing was). Another artist recommended Gillian, and honestly, she smashed it – it’s perfect and I'm absolutely obsessed with it. She’s insanely talented, but also just such a good laugh. She makes you feel totally relaxed while you’re getting tattooed, which makes such a difference. The whole team are lovely too – really welcoming and friendly every time I’ve been in. Can’t recommend her enough!
Fantastic experience: Walked in today for a touchup. I was lucky enough to get Gillian, the owner, at a free moment. She is such a lovely person. We chatted the whole time...and just like that...she was finished!
Thank you for the lovely review! It was great to have you in on Monday, hope you're enjoying the rest of your holiday!
Fantastic experience: Such an amazing studio! Gillian has done several tattoos for me, including coverups, and the service has always been impeccable. The staff are warm, friendly and make the appointments fun. Can't recommend them highly enough.
Fantastic experience: This is my first time using Mortez Tattoo & Piercing and after the absolutely amazing experience I had today it will not be my last and I will be recommending them to anyone I know that is looking for a tattoo or piercing. Roz was so welcoming as you enter the premise and very knowledgeable about all the processes and detailing the aftercare procedures. Gillian was outstanding, her work speaks for itself, she has what I can only describe as put 2 pieces of art on my leg and arm today. I could not be happier. The studio itself is welcoming and inviting and super clean. Gillian was an amazing artist, she talked to me about the design, the colours and all the little details as we went through the process, she made sure I was super comfortable and even gave me a blanket. I felt like I was at home. These guys are super lovely people, you wont go wrong getting a tattoo or piercing from here.
Fantastic experience: I went to Mortez for a simple tattoo and Gillian was awesome! She made the whole process super easy and comfortable. The shop is clean and welcoming, and Gillian took the time to make sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. Even though it was a basic piece, she put so much care into it and the result is perfect. Highly recommend Gillian if you’re looking for someone friendly, professional, and talented!
Fantastic experience: Been coming here for 2/3 years now. Lots of different artists with different styles. Matty has done all my work in this studio, great communication with consultation/booking process, excellent in the studio and brilliant support with any after care questions.
Fantastic experience: Visited Mortez, along with my hubby, a couple of weeks ago for our very first tattoos. The studio made us feel so welcome, and having previously met Gillian to discuss our ideas we were excited to get started. The experience from start to finish was fantastic, Gillian’s design and superb artistry is second to none. We are delighted with the results - mine a delicate cherry blossom with a hidden breast cancer ribbon, and Gordon’s a bold music statement (Status Quo Pile Driver) that he can add to later. We thoroughly recommend Mortez if you’re looking for a quality service; Gillian you put us at ease and made the day go so smoothly. Love to Moose x
Fantastic experience: Been in a few times and everytime such a pleasure. Everyone there are so nice and welcoming feels like coming to see family. Recently tattooed by Gillian a memorial tattoo for my dog and Amanda for a hand tattoo Speedy and the quality of work is second to none. Don't believe any negative reviews because ive no idea who they're are reviewing because it most certainly isn't this amazing Studio and People.
Fantastic experience: I can’t tell you how terrifying getting my first tattoo was. Would it hurt? Did I pick the right piece of art? Where should I have it done? I spent a long time mulling these questions over, but when I was ready, I went straight to Mortez on the recommendation of my sisters. Let me tell you; I couldn’t have been happier. My artist, Taylor, was so approachable and so helpful refining my design to get it looking like 100% the tattoo I wanted. No pressure, no eye rolling when I suggested a change, Taylor’s patience and ability to create the art I wanted had me ready in no time. I wasn’t sure what to expect when it was my turn, but before I even got to the chair, Taylor made a final check that I was happy with placement and design in a spotless environment. Seriously, this was hospital level clean. Bright, cheerful, and plenty of beautiful art to keep your attention away from…… the needle!! Fellow tattoo virgins, let me assure you that behind my calm demeanor, I was bricking it. It’s only natural for first timers, but the deed itself was nothing like what I expected. There’s no giant needle to poke you, the equipment itself is a noisy wee hand-held thing that feels like you’re being scratched with sandpaper. Seriously, that’s it. It feels like sandpaper. Sort of tickly to begin with, scratchy as the tattoo goes on. My tattoo, a small piece on my inner arm, took about 15-20 minutes and Taylor was great company as she worked. Talking me through the process, patiently answering my daft questions, all the while creating a beautiful, nuanced work of art. Well…. It was a cartoon moustache, but she still did a phenomenal job. I can’t recommend Mortez and Taylor enough, there is nowhere else I’ll go for my second tattoo!
Fantastic experience: Emma is very thorough and so pleasant. Very clean piercing room and welcoming environment!
Hi Eilidh, thank you for the lovely review! Great to have you in and hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for awesome designs, or need help to bring your ideas to life, maybe know exactly what you want and want it done perfectly? then I cannot recommend Mortez highly enough. Everyone has their own style, and so you won't be left wanting. I've had several tattoos by the amazing Gillian, such a tallented artist! I wouldn't go anywhere else. The studio is immaculately presented, with a relaxed atmosphere. If you are looking for your 1st or 100th tattoo, head along and say hi to them, you won't be disappointed!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been going to Gillian over many years now, always excellent work and easy going. The new studio is amazing as well, can't recommend them enough!
Fantastic experience: So, what to say about the guys at Mortez...from start to finish the experience has been excellent! Everyone is friendly and helpful, giving a great atmosphere. I had booked with Gillian for earlier in the year but due to work commitments had to reschedule, this was done with no issue. I had previously discussed my idea however hadn't checked back in and turned up, giving her no prep time, (please don't do a me though) She was an absolute star, took a rough idea thrown at her last minute and created a beautiful, meaningful thigh piece......freehanded no stencil.....can't wait to have it completed! Thanks Gillian!
Fantastic experience: The vibe and atmosphere at mortez Is great, the place just looks cool and you couldn't ask for friendlier, down to earth and fun staff that always welcome you. My tattoo artist is Gilian and since making the first tattoo with her I refuse to look anywhere else. It's easy to arrange a talk where you can discuss and brainstorm ideas for what you want and when I needed a cover up for old tattoos made elsewhere, she manages to make them even better than what I initially bring. I dont know how she does it but she's a wizard in this art and I'm excited and eager to do another dozen with her. 5 tattoos and 2 cover ups later I realised I haven't left a review. There's nothing to say but the fact that mortez Is 11 out of 10, if only I could give it that. Anyone looking to have a tattoo made go in here once, you'll find your home as I did. And to the staff of mortez and Gilian above all I thank you for taking part In my journey through ink
Hi Erik, thank you for the really lovely review! It's great having you as a customer and brilliant to hear you feel so at home in the studio. We'll no doubt see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Went in for new jewellery for an existing piercing, Rachel had me sorted with a new hoop and fitted it for me in 5 mins!
Fantastic experience: I got my nostril piercing on 15/6 by @ko.piercing who was great at explaining the whole process and was super friendly , I was very happy with my piercing and the studio looked amazing and had a nice environment, I highly recommended anyone who is looking to get piercings / tattoos to use Moretz they are great :)
Fantastic experience: This is my second time getting a tattoo in mortez, with Amanda. First tattoo was a memorial for my dad who passed and the second one was a cover up. Amanda is an excellent artist, I ended up with amazing tattoos, and I couldn’t be happier. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I wouldn't go anywhere else! I would definitely recommend them!!
Hi Stephen. Thank you for your lovely review! It was great meeting you and we'll hopefully see you again some time!
Fantastic experience: Iv'e been coming here since it opened and have always had a great experience. Great chat, great service and awesome tattoos by Gillian.
Hi Emma, thanks for the great review! Pleasure as always to have you in!

Hi Allan, thanks for the lovely review! Always great to have you in the studio, and I do love the amount of your colleagues we get in now a days as well!
Fantastic experience: Having been tattooed by Gillian at Mortez Tattoo & Piercing a few times now I can only say what a positive and spotlessly clean shop. All staff are very friendly and attentive and make you feel very welcome. Gillian herself is an amazing tattoo artist, she is honestly the best. She really listens to what you want and makes your idea become better than you could ever imagine plus she is so gentle to the point you can barely notice you are being tattooed! Already planning my next session with her! Highly recommend
Hi Pamela, thank for the lovely review! Great to have you a a customer, I'm sure we'll see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: This was my first tattoo experience. I could not have chosen a better tattoo studio.. From the reception staff through to my selected tattoo artist, I was shown great courtesy and professional care. I am absolutely delighted to give this review for Mortez studio.. Thanks guys.
Thank you for the lovely review Ameed. We'll hopefully see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Super friendly and super professional team! Went with a friend who was doing a cover piece and their work was the best I've seen. Definitely recommend and will be going for my own tattoos from now on! Shout out to Gillian
Fantastic experience: It's the 4th time I've been tattooed by Gillian and my first time at Mortez, and it definitely won't be the last. I travelled almost 4 hours from Warrington because SHE'S WORTH IT! The studio is immaculate, beautifully decorated and has such a chilled vibe. I'd recommend Mortez to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff. Super clean. Emma was really professional and knowledgeable. Won't hesitate to go back. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Mortez is a great business. Been using these guys for years, since before they set up their own shop. Always top quality work and great chat.
Fantastic experience: Best shop ever! Excellent service and quality
Fantastic experience: Incredible and clean studio, full of great and knowledgeable artists. I travel from the Midlands (in England) to get tattooed. Never once had any issues with the tattoos or the customer service in seven or eight visits, I literally recommend them to everyone.
Fantastic experience: Staff are friendly always answering my questions promptly Gillian is always very professional and under i need! Nice atmosphere! Dogs are always welcome!
Fantastic experience: Super friendly and helpful team who helped me as a walk in with a piercing issue. No fuss, quick service. Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Such a cool studio! Decor is stunning and has a really relaxed vibe. The Mortez team are all super friendly and helpful, and the studio is overall above par when it comes to cleanliness. Would definitely recommend any one of the artists if you're looking for a high quality tattoo :)
Hi Carys, thank you for the lovely review. It was great to have you in again this morning, we'll hopefully see you again soon!
Negative experience: Rude very poor customer service never even made it through the door arrived 3 minutes early to a rude sigh and a two minutes gesture whilst I stood outside in the cold whilst the two ladies working drew me a dirty look before even thinking about seeing their drawing of a tattoo would rather spend my money elsewhere waste of time!!!!! Basic manners cost nothing
Hello Thomas, you didn't make it through the door at 09:55, as we were not open yet. You looked past the "OPEN AT 10" sign, chapped the door for attention, we smiled at you and gestured to give us two minutes as we were discussing a time sensitive issue that needed dealt with prior to opening. You seemed quite well stood there in your t-shirt and drinking your Tim Hortons, so we did not think that, since it's very warm June weather, that you were at all suffering in the cold. We finished working out what we had to and as you turned to walk away, we unlocked the door; we assumed you were perhaps going to bin your coffee cup, but no... you had in fact stormed off in a huff because we did not run to the door open early just for you.
As a small business, we are often expected to be available at all times, where a larger corporate business would be respected for their opening times.
I don't know how you would have heard a sigh through a locked door, and if you judged our faces to be "dirty looks", that's just our faces, we can't fix that I'm afraid =)
Your consultation that you were booked in for would have taken a half an hour, so we are confused why waiting until we were open was such an infringement of your time?
For all our future customers reading this review, please note, if the weather is cold or nasty at all, we always try to invite our customers in if we notice them waiting outside!
So Thomas, if you would like to rebook and experience our great service that we offer when we are open, please get in touch!
Fantastic experience: I saw a walk-in piercing sign outside Mortez and went in. The staff were so lovely and treated me so kindly. I would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: So glad I went to Kayleigh for my piercing, she was so friendly and made me feel really calm, she talked me through everything she was going to do and was very professional.
Fantastic experience: Mortez is my happy place. I’ve been getting tattoos by the very talented Gillian for around 16yrs. I got this stunning lion done on my most recent visit this week. I absolutely love it and the level of detail is amazing, as always. Lovely professional studio with relaxed atmosphere, full of extremely talented artists. I would highly recommend on every level from friendly reception, beautiful studio, great communication, high H&S/cleanliness standards, super friendly professional artists…and a belting cup of tea. I’ll be back…soon x
Fantastic experience: The staff were very accommodating, Kayleigh was the one to pierce me and she brought such a nice and calm atmosphere to getting a piercing. Thank you so much!
Hi Keira, thank you for the lovely review! It was a pleasure having you in the studio, we'll hopefully see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I've been getting tattooed by Gillian for a few years now and she always makes my wacky ideas look incredible in ink Case in point: a fully healed (couple of years now) piece she basically free-handed from a random photo I showed her Highly recommend the studio; lovely atmosphere, gorgeous aesthetic, super friendly staff and incredibly talented artists
Thanks for the lovely review! Great as always to see you, hopefully see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Went in to get cover up got accommodated at short notice Alex tattooed me more than happy nice guy down to earth brilliant place excellent prices
Hi Jay. Thanks for the lovely review, was a pleasure having you in!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I spontaneously decided to visit Mortez for matching tattoos. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and our tattoos turned out even better than expected. I requested a fine line tattoo - I have 3 others and this is the best tattoo I have - the detail and consideration is flawless and I have had many compliments already. I am over the moon with my tattoo. If you have any concerns about quality or professionalism, whether you're walking in or booking in advance, rest assured that you are in very safe hands with Mortez! They are incredible! Thank you for accommodating us.
Thank you Beth, lovely review and much appreciated. Glad we were able to fit you both in. It was a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: I recently returned to Mortez after getting my lobes done by Emma (who was amazing and so helpful in talking me through my first piercing) last year for a triple stacked vertical helix. My piercer for this was Megan and I cannot sing her praises enough, she was so helpful in telling me what my anatomy allowed me and I look forward to a project with her soon. Her communication skills and energy were phenomenal and I simply cannot recommend her enough.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience at Mortez Tattoos Glasgow today. Gillian Badger (owner) has tattooed me for over 20 years. First time in Gillians own shop and the place is absolutely immaculate on all aspects. Attentive staff, cleanliness is 10/10. Great artwork to gaze at while sitting in the chair. Large studio which keeps an open environment and chat between artists/clients but retains privacy as screens are there if required for more intimate tattoos. Great banter and and eclectic variety of music which made the day pass quickly with a big smile on my face. Broad spectrum of resident artists which can cater for all needs/styles of tattoos, whatever your taste. After working in the industry myself for several years, this shop has set the benchmark which is unrivalled by any other studio in the city. Mortez has a wealth of experience that cannot be rivaled. If you want a quality piece of original artwork, pop by for a chat/consultation. Honest people, sound advice and great value for money. All in all, your one stop shop for all tattoo and piercing requirements.#1
Fantastic experience: Excellent service communication and work done by all staff especially my tattoo artist Gillian.
Fantastic experience: Went to see Gillian for a cover up. Gave her the Japanese idea I was looking for and Gillian was a true artist and did the rest with great advice. Cant believe the old tattoo was ever there. Very friendly and professional. Would highly recommend. Definitely wouldnt go anywhere else now
Fantastic experience: Friendly helpful staff x Visited for piercing and queries about healing, very happy to accommodate
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, Gillian was brilliant, as a group of first timers, she totally put us at ease. Great artistry and service, would definitely recommend.
Hi Lorraine. Thank you for coming in and for leaving such a lovely review! Very pleased that we could help you all yesterday. We'll hopefully see you again some time!
Fantastic experience: This Is my third tattoo with Gillian And as always, she did a wonderful job, It was in a more private part of my body and she still managed to make me feel very comfortable and I do appreciate the extra effort to make the Tattoo Studio Accessible I will be definitely back for another tattoo soon.
Fantastic experience: I have been using Gillian as my regular tattoo artist since my 2nd tattoo. 7 or 8 sittings later, I would never dream of going anywhere. Definitely 5* for a 5* artist and 5* company!
Thank you so much. Lovely review and much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: very homely and welcoming, super clean and sterile always felt very comfortable every time step thru the door! always cater to ur needs as well super friendly staff been getting tattooed by gillian for years now n wouldn’t go else where, also been pierce by rachel and was an amazing experience too made to feel mega relaxed!
Thanks for leaving such a lovely review Emily. Pleasure as always to see you, hopefully see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Super helpful and kind piercing staff and affordable high quality jewelry
Fantastic experience: I recently went and got my first piercings here, cannot recommend Emma enough. She was lovely, friendly and patient. She made sure to discuss everything we had planned, explain the process and check in with me at every stage to make sure I was happy and okay to go on. At no point did I feel rushed or pressured, and came out with three lovely piercings (lobes and a nose stud). She gave good advice on positioning and had clear safety rules as well as being meticulously clean. I would have no hesitation going back to see her for more work.
Hi Cassandra. Thank you very much for the lovely review! Well hopefully see you again soon!

Hi Nerea. Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. We'll hopefully see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Got my first tattoo here today by Taylor & I love it! Everyone I spoke to made me feel so comfortable (I was really nervous) and I'm so happy with the result. The place is the perfect mix between professional and relaxed, not too daunting but really sterile and safe :) Thanks so much <3
Hi Amy, thank you of the lovely review. It was great to meet you, we'll hopefully see you again some time!!
Fantastic experience: Class tattoo artists and even better patter and banter. Best tattoo place in Glasgow. Couldn't recommend it more.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, we really appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Incredibly professional and friendly studio, I've been tattooed by Amanda and pierced by Megan and both times were borderline painless, incredibly well done and super comfy experiences. All the staff are really friendly and fun to talk to and honestly put you at ease the moment you walk in the door. Will 100% be coming back for more piercings and tattoos in future.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. We look forward to seeing you again in the future!
Fantastic experience: The wife and I were finishing up our trip to Scotland and these folks were able to fit us in the next day with Amanda Fox a lovely&talented young lady .. very friendly people and atmosphere, clean and spacious. We will be stopping by again when we get back that way
Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review. We are happy we could help.
Fantastic experience: My first time at Mortez and definitely won't be my last time. I was booked in with Taylor who done my tattoo. I emailed over my ideas of my Stevie Nicks tattoo to Audrey, who recommend Taylor. Such a great experience from email consultation, to text reminders for appointment to the tattoo itself. Shop is clean, all the staff are so friendly. It's a busy shop. I'm so pleased with my tattoo and Taylor is very talented. I can see this tattoo turning into a sleeve. Highly recommend the shop and will be back.
Thank you so much for your kind words. So happy it was a great experience from beginning until the end. Although, this isn't the end. Glad we will be seeing you soon again.
Fantastic experience: Got my first tattoo done by Alex. He was great. Love it. Will be back for my second very soon.
Thank for taking the time to give us this wonderful review.
Fantastic experience: I just went in because I had a problem with one of my piercings (just needed to put it back) and the lady so kind, thoughtful and friendly. She was really sorry not to be able to help me with my problem, and she took time to explain what was the issue and to chat with me. Even though the moment was painful it was not an unpleasant moment thanks to her.
Glad we made your experience a positive one.
Fantastic experience: Gillian has reworked some older tattoos of mine, brought new life to them and I now love them. She's also done some amazing pieces on me of her own design. Different styles, she's up for taking on any ideas I've had and I keep coming back for more.

Fantastic experience: Got 2 tattoos of my beloved Sox - his pawprint and wee face. Very impressed and happy with the finished tattoos and their accuracy. Friends have all commented on how great his face looks. Perfect way to remember him Amanda was very professional and has such attention to detail. Mortez is a very clean and hospitable tattoo shop. Will definitely be back for more.
Thank you. Glad Sox is on you to remember forever.
Fantastic experience: I had a brilliant experience getting my ears pierced (19yo) and I was very nervous, the person at the desk gave some info and said I can talk to the piercer. The piercer Emma then spoke through the process and made me feel very comfortable, when I was getting it done they werent rushing, made sure I felt okay and had eaten and I always felt safe that I could say stop. They took it slow after and didn't rush me out the door and everyone was so lovely too. 10/10 would recommend they're amazing!
Thank you. Glad we made the experience a good one for you.
Fantastic experience: Nice and clean place. I had my tattoo there and a free touch-up session. The artist was changed on the spot, and i wasn't informed about this - but I'm satisfied with the final result.
Fantastic experience: Friendly workers. Rachel is very informative and goes into clear detail about your piercings. Makes you very comfortable which is appreciated. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Gillian really listened to what I needed, and managed to convert my vague ideas and requests into a awesome design that totally hit the mark. She made me feel comfortable and cared for. Both the result and the experience was great, I'd highly recommend Gillian and Mortez. Bug thumbs up from me.
