Sacred Art

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing everytime, ive been in for some colour and black tattoos over last few months. Absolutely fantastic artist's there and also a fantastic professional piercer there aswell won't go anywhere else in town for any tattoos or piercings. Everyone there are lovely people go get your self booked in

Negative experience: I’m not happy with yous because everytime I go to call yous you never pick up the goddam phone they are so ignorant and they never pick up the when I am calling the shop I just want to get a belly button piercing

Fantastic experience: The service was great and the person there was super friendly and I love the tattoo I got so much! My first tattoo 10/10! I 100% recommen coming here!! ♡

Fantastic experience: Good tattoo place!

Fantastic experience: Mint place the house who did my tattoo was a top guy fully of laugh and giggles really treated me well in there aswell so yh people pay this place a visit their work os spot on I got most of my back done and will be going back and they wasn't expensive as most tattoo laces which is a benefit aswell

Negative experience: Had my daith piercing done here. Not only did I overpaid, I also haven’t been told about proper aftercare. Got tiny slip of paper with useless information that had nothing to do with cartilage piercing. When a week later my piercing got infected the piercer was not even there to help. Avoid!

Positive experience: An outstanding experience. I needed to get some piercings replaced and Sam got just what I needed, she was extremely enthusiastic about it during the entire time. After another 2 or 3 interactions I was completely sold. I'm now in the process of booking a sleeve tattoo as their tattooist is extremely talented and is fully booked for months ahead. I'll be coming back for further piercings as well. The prices are on the steep side for piercing, but you are getting high quality materials, aftercare, and piercing veteran experience throughout. Tattoos seem like an outstanding deal with discounts for full day (7h) bookings and an extremely talented team. The shop itself is very presentable, quirky, and with character, really nice place spread over 3 floors of just absolute awe at the art on the walls. Exploring the shop feels like a treat. Staff handle your piercings and you with gloves at all times, so hygienic practices seem to be all in place. My only recommendations to the shop is that they add card payments as it's now 2023 and these are not small amounts to be charged. Bank transfers are provided, but no receipt is given to you, ergo no proof or purchase on items or services rendered. I suggest something like a Zettle or similar card processing service with minimal fees. No one (sane) wants to walk around with £450 in their pocket, and customers might want to break down their tattoo service into instalments via credit cards. I'd also recommend that they review their claimed opening times on Google Maps as there have been now 3 occasions where within the days and times that the shop claims to be opened, it isn't. Both the exterior and shop doors are locked shut and lights out half the times I try to visit. Make sure to always call first on the actual day you plan to visit to ask if they will be open on the day and time you need. [Edit] I'm going to have to update this review by lowering two stars, unfortunately. I'm honestly not even sure if the business is still running as the shop is there, but it's never open when it says it should be open (google maps), the phone on Maps is an outdated landline number, and the mobile plastered on the shop window never gets picked up (I tried for weeks and on different times), they also do not respond to emails. Shame, because I really wanted more piercings from the lead lady, but as it is, I'm not sure how they're making an income when bookings are inpossible to make.

Fantastic experience: Just had a tattoo done by samltattoos very professional from start to finish would recommend will be coming back again thank you

Fantastic experience: Sam did a lovely job on my arm tattoo

Fantastic experience: We've had a few tattoos from this place excellent service excellent cleanliness very friendly reasonable price will be going back definitely thanks guys

Fantastic experience: My brother Got an amazing extension to his tattoo today off Gary..he gave great advice and did a great job .thank u

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place has my tattoo done by Gaz couldn’t be happier excellent service and excellent work! One happy customer

Fantastic experience: Sam (owner) is fantastic ! My daughter and niece went to have their ears pierced today and she has attached lobes. Sam gave brilliant advice about where to have piercing, gauge of post in earrings, the length of them and how to balance the weight of piercings so they didn’t rub at the back, even the size, shape of stones that would look good. My daughter has had her ears pierced before ( without much luck healing) and we have never been given the advice and expertise demonstrated today. Piercing is a medical procedure and needs to be done with utmost care and precision and is different for each individual. My niece wanted a helix piercing but under Sam’s guidance realised a conch would look better. We were so impressed that the girls and their mum’s all left with a conch! Highly recommend

Negative experience: After some thought and being ignored I think it's best I leave a review. I attempted to get a tattoo here and was told black/ brown people are unable to get coloured tattoos with a fickle attempt at being scientific. Instead of arguing the point I left obviously flustered and sent an email with images of my skin tone with colour tattoos to the business- this was ignored. I then went into the shop to ask for a response, the receptionist apologised and said the owner would be in touch. This was in October 22 I have heard nothing. I am disgusted at my treatment and the lack of consideration given to me during this. I would leave a minus score if I could. If you value fairness and equality I wouldn't give sacred art your money or let them put their prejudice energy into Your body. Update as of today the owner has left the below response and gave me call to once again reiterate she knows black people so couldn’t possible be unfair, they gave sound legal advise at the time of refusal, as it’s been 6 months i need to get over the prejudice and the owner was also vocal in stating I am clearly the issue and even though we are all equal black people still can’t get any and all tattoos - this made sense to her and she stands beside it. I have now been blocked from contacting the shop, because equality I couldn’t make this up Update as of Aug 2024 - after going to another tattoo artist I have now had the colourful tattoo I initially requested and its over a year healed

Fantastic experience: Got a septum piercing here 2 months ago, healed up perfectly.

Fantastic experience: Great place & Friendly people Had my tattoos done by Garry and he was lovely I had a very sentimental piece done of my mothers handwriting and it was matched perfectly Thankyou.. x X

Fantastic experience: Had a tattoo done by Garry and I love it. He pieced together some ideas that I had and created an original, unique design for my thigh tattoo. The quality of the tattoo is amazing and Gaz is extremely talented at what he does. Would definitely recommend him to anyone considering some ink.

Fantastic experience: Great work- thanks Mac really impressed

Fantastic experience: Always a lovely experience to visit. Fantastic artwork. Well chuffed with my ickle bumble. Cheers Mack. : )

Fantastic experience: just come out of my neck tattoo with sam - what a lovely guy, absolutely in love with it! and such a cute studio. cheers sam Xx

Fantastic experience: Excellent dedicated staff who are true to their art. Absolutely would not go anywhere else for Body Art. Seriously the finest Tatoo Artists in the country.

Fantastic experience: 10 years ago Gary did half of my arm sleeve (still looks as good as it did back then) Finally started to finish the full arm with the first session today. Work is still of the highest standard. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to tattoo me.

Fantastic experience: This place is like home to me. I have several tattoos designed by Mac, tattooist extraordinaire who combines your wishes with his talent and artistic flair to create most beautiful and unique tatts. Thinking about inking or piercing? Go there, fabulous Sam at the desk will welcome you in a friendliest way and do her best to accommodate your requests. Sacred Art studio is the place to go ☆☆☆☆☆

Fantastic experience: Fab experience having a bee tattoo by Garry - wonderful birthday present . Thanks sacred art - very talented and professional

Fantastic experience: Gary is an amazing artist and so calm. ♡

Fantastic experience: Great place! Sam (the owner) did some ear piercings for me and the experience was like no place I've ever been to. She was such a good communicator and has a very high level of precision. She was friendly and made me feel comfortable, even when the adrenaline got to me and I felt really unwell. I cannot recommend Sacred Art highly enough, I will definitely be returning

Fantastic experience: I went here for my first tattoo. The lady at reception was very friendly and made me feel welcome. I showed her the tattoo I wanted, and managed to get a same day appointment. When I arrived for my appointment, they already had the stencils made up in different sizes. The tattooist did a great job. He lined up the tattoo perfectly and i’m very happy with how it looks. It did hurt loads, but maybe i’m a lightweight

Fantastic experience: mac thank u 4 the beautiful trbal butterfly tattoo u did for me. The lady on reception thank for all your help.

Fantastic experience: Great place and people at scared art. In the process of finishing off my sleeve. Gaz is a amazing tattooist. Happy customer here.

Fantastic experience: Great friendly place to go make you feel very relaxed

Fantastic experience: Used 16 years ago for a large tattoo on my arm, still looks fantastic and returning this week for price on my next one. Would dream of going anywhere else

Fantastic experience: I had a tattoo done here recently by Garry who did a great job, such a great job I actually came back today and had 2 more done with him. The work Garry does shows he is obviously extremely proficient and a great artist. I don't normally leave reviews but just thought that this place, with Garry and then Sam on reception, deserved a moment of my time to let people know how good it is!

Negative experience: UPDATE: was notified by an actual fine line artist that the idea I could not have gotten a smaller tattoo was complete nonsense and that the ‘artist’ Garry did indeed dig his needle far too deep into my wrist which caused the ink to bleed out! As a result I am having to wait even longer for the skin to heal because of how badly my tattoo was done and I am considering having it covered up completely. As you can imagine this is extremely distressing. Again. Do not recommend! Do not get your tattoo done here. Initially came in with the idea of getting a small tattoo and ended up with a much larger unprofessional and uneven scrawl, for more money clearly. The artist Garry I found to be cold, abrasive and more interested in getting me out the door so he could watch his horror film that was blaring in the background whilst I was trying to decide whether I wanted my tattoo placed elsewhere. I felt very rushed. In retrospect I wouldn’t have let him write on my wrist with a pen instead of using a professional stencil like normal tattoo artists do. Made clear I was unhappy with my tattoo once I saw how uneven it was and was told to come in 2 wks after, only for my messages to be ignored when asking for a time. Already feeling very uncomfortable, I requested another artist, only for the appointment to be changed again last minute. Completely unprofessional and I believe deliberately messing me around so they wouldn’t have to fix this ridiculous looking scrawl on my wrist. I was also medically advised to wait at least 3-4 wks as the skin isn’t fully healed on my tattoo yet they didn’t mention this which shows some real negligence. All round red flags and bad vibes at this tattoo place. Wouldn’t recommend.

Fantastic experience: Tattoo was done by gaz who done a great job, I am really happy with my tattoo. Sam who works on the front desk is an absolute credit to the place she is really welcoming and friendly. Had a little issue that I won’t get into and the reason I won’t get into it is because of how Sam who owns the place sorted it out for me. She was really helpful, understanding and really nice lady who sorted the issue out straight away. Will defo be returning for my next tattoo and would recommend Sacred Art

Fantastic experience: I had my first tattoo here with Gary, I had been thinking about it for a long time, and although what I wanted is very simple and minimal, I didn't have a fully formed idea of what I wanted it to look like, and it took the amazing creativity and knowledge of Gary to turn my idea into something I could have never thought about myself. Every step of the process, from walking in for advice to aftercare, has been amazing, everyone was friendly, supportive and helpful. It has been a few weeks now, the tattoo has been healing perfectly, and I'm so happy with it, and still can't get over how easily and effortlessly Gary understood what I wanted. His technique and line work are amazing too. I was sure this was going to be my only tattoo, but I had such a great experience that I might get more here!

Fantastic experience: really recommend this place! Had my belly button pierced here and the piercer walked me through all the steps and gave super thorough after care information

Fantastic experience: Just had my second tattoo with Mac at Sacred Art, I honestly couldn't be happier. I had a list of things that I wanted in my tattoo and he created a beautiful piece incorporating it all, that was better than I ever could have imagined. The receptionist was really lovely and friendly and welcoming and would put even a novice at ease. And to top it off Mac even came in on his day off to check my dressing. Now I just need to decide what to get next

Fantastic experience: Although they are so good at their job, they are also such a fun and humble team. It is a place with a very reliable, hygienic and reasonable price policy. Thanks for everything

Negative experience: Had a stressful time getting an ear piercing. Woman was rude. And had the gall to charge me too much over the usual rate.

Fantastic experience: Sam did an outstanding job, got every little detail right. 10/10.

Fantastic experience: From the second I walked in , I was greeted by girl Sam who is the most warm and friendly person and I honestly felt that we had been mates for years an absolute joy to have met you, and then I was taken upstairs to man Sam who was as equally warm and friendly and also like we had been mates for years too , Sam designed my small tattoo , even better than the image I had gone in with and I am absolutely over the moon with the finished tattoo, totally perfect and professional and yet being so so friendly! I can’t recommend these guys enough!! They are true ambassadors to your company and I will a million percent recommend you to anyone that compliments me on my little unicorn tattoo!! Thankyou so very much !! Big love ❤️

Fantastic experience: After seeing some negative reviews recently for this amazing tattoo studio I felt like i needed to leave an honest review of the outstanding customer service to the brilliantly talented artists they have at Sacred Art. I have used Sacred Art for my last 2 tattoo's and I can say I wouldn't go anywhere else, everything about the shop is professional and clean and the after care is brilliant too - It's a shame that in these hard times people can slate a business when it's clearly themselves at fault. Keep doing what you do and forget the haters as they are the few. Thanks again for the great service and art. Dave

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have both had daith piercings about six weeks ago. What a brilliant experience, Sam was absolutely amazing. I had the daith to help relieve chronic migraine. I can honestly say my migraines have improved around 75% thus far which is fantastic. Thank you to the amazing receptionist, who made our overall experience even more special. Thank you to you both. Today we went for our second visit for nose piercing. Again the experience was excellent, Sam once again was superb, as was the receptionist on our entry to the shop. She gave full aftercare instruction which is so beneficial. I would 100% recommend any future clients, you won’t regret it. Service with a smile , thank you both. Xxx

Fantastic experience: 10/10 for staff friendliness, professional, and I just overall had a great time, shout out to Mac for my amazing forearm piece

Fantastic experience: Amazing place, Sam is a great artist with amazing line work and attention to detail, wouldn’t go anywhere else now! :)

Negative experience: Made me pay over family and friends instead of normal business transactions, shop was closed when I went in on time yet won't refund or give me a new day to come into the store totally unprofessional cons

Fantastic experience: Had a tattoo done recently, very professional, great pricing, and overall very friendly! I hope to come back again soon!

Fantastic experience: Just had a tattoo done with Mac who also touched up and old tattoo I had done elsewhere. I was nervous at first as I have always gone to the same place but since moving I came to try out Sacred Art. The whole experience was great. Sam at the front desk was hilarious and super friendly had a great chat with her before my appointment started. I knew what I wanted but Mac gave great advice as I have been naive with past tattoos which resulted in needing a touch up! He made my old tattoo look miles better and I’m really happy with the results. Looking forward to coming again<3

Fantastic experience: Love this place

Negative experience: I had a terrible experience, resulting in a badly done tattoo It was a few years ago: but it is upsetting and I hadn’t thought to leave a review before. I came to Sacred Art after someone I knew used them and liked their work, although complained about they restrictive booking system. I also liked the work they put online. My design was really simple, and I booked in: having to pay an non refundable deposit. The guy I booked with kept trying to mess with my design and arguing with what I wanted, pressuring me. I should have pulled out then, but I didn’t - deposit paid, and I thought about their work posted online. Eventually I pinned him down to a design I wanted, yet at the end of the session he had added features I had specifically said I didn’t want! Once it had healed, I realised that the whole thing was really blurry, and in some areas the blowout was really bad. Although upset, I was naive with my first tattoo and thought it was just something that happened. I later found out that the guy tattooing me was an unsupervised apprentice! Nobody else was even in the building so god knows if he was even an actual apprentice training under someone, or had ever done any tattooing before. I had gone in saying I liked the work of a specific artist there- this guy lead me to believe he was the artist, and that they all worked in the desk at times. As I said: I was naive and didn’t know how tattoo parlours worked. I was devastated that I hadn’t been told, and it had resulted in a ruined version of a design very meaningful to me. Everyone needs to learn- but if someone is so inexperienced that they will do a bad job then they should be supervised. This is on me for life. The other person I knew later had a bad experience with just the pure arrogance of the place- they don’t seem to have much regard about what the client actually wants. If they don’t like a design then surely better to decline the job then to try bully people into changing it?

Fantastic experience: Guns N' Roses Tattoo from Mac, far exceeded my expectations, brilliant piece very happy, great vibe great staff great art..Damien M.

Fantastic experience: Came in for a new bar for a piercing and they were so helpful, ensuring I got the right thing. Great customer service. Thank you so much.

Fantastic experience: It's a great place, professional and kind people in a nice atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Staff are great, big gaz did this tattoo while we watched TV. Really can't complain. I love Sa on reception.

Fantastic experience: Had a tattoo done here by NeiptiunArt of a dragon. She was very helpful and great at communicating in the process of designing the tattoo for me and corresponding over email. And on the day she was just as helpful and accommodating. Her room was very nicely decorated and relaxing, with nice music and incense. I felt quite dizzy soon after she started the tattoo and she was very quick to adjust the chair to help me lay down and get some juice and snacks for me. She was very understanding and made sure I felt fully ok again before she carried on. The tattoo I ended up with is sooo beautiful and far exceeded my expectations. The receptionist was also very accommodating, chatty and polite. I really felt at ease there and felt like I was being taken care of by the staff. All in all a great experience, really recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great vibe about the place, all staff really interested in tat choices and backstory, executed beautifully, knowledgeably and with real focus on aftercare and results. Invent a pain-free method and its 6 stars..

Fantastic experience: Had an orbital piercing today with Sam and I cannot recommend enough. Sam made me feel really at ease and comfortable. I had confused the name of the piercing I had envisioned and Sam was really professional and advised me of the right type of piercing for the style I wanted. I can’t wait to decorate my ear with some more beautiful piercings in the near future, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Wonderful job doing my lobes! Service and procedure was brill - couldn't have been better :)

Fantastic experience: Gary Bevan was brilliant, super friendly and great custom design. A really friendly team. Would recommend Sacred Art and Gary for anyone getting their first tattoo. Sacred Art is in a really handy location just a few minutes wal from Chorlton tram stop.

Fantastic experience: Had a bump on my rook piercing and it’ll never be healed but i was kindly given advice ☺️, now the piercing is healed.

Fantastic experience: Went to sacred heart and MAC was the artist who did my tattoo in memory of my wife he really couldn't do enough to understand what I needed and was full of great ideas and his work is brilliant and very creative and I thank him for what he did for me CHEERS MAC.
