Talisman Tattoo: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Robin was excellent, really friendly and did amazing work for my tattoos. I cannot recommend this place enough! Will be my future for all tats!
Fantastic experience: Had a piercing with David Angeles and it was just a great experience. David allows you plenty of time and explained everything throughout. Consent is clearly super important and I felt like my safety and feelings mattered throughout. I was made to feel confident saying if something was uncomfortable and the whole experience was topped off with great conversations and laughter. Jewellery pricing is as you'd expert for top quality brand and well worth the investment.
Fantastic experience: Had my eyebrow pierced by David yesterday, very professional and talked me through the whole piercing process, as well as the healing afterwards. Was very friendly and made me feel comfortable immediately. I would definitely recommend coming here for a piercing, it's the best place I've been to by far.
Fantastic experience: I was pierced by David today and had a really great experience. David talked through what was going to happen and aftercare. He asked for consent to touch me before preparing for and doing the piercing and was very reassuring. David was very transparent about the costs involved before the piercing happened and I was given plenty of time to decide on the jewellery and costs before deciding, without any pressure at all. I would really recommend David as a piercer, and want to thank him for such a positive experience.
Positive experience: i booked and was not shown the prices, and then when i got there and found out it was a ridiculous price to ask i tried to cancel but they wouldn’t give me my deposit. 55 whole great british pounds and they kept it a secret. disappointed to say the least. but still nice so 4 stars. good evening
Fantastic experience: I absolutely can't say enough good things for David and the experience I had today. Went in to have both nipples pierced and I didn't realise the level of service that could be achieved. I felt safe, listened to, respected and that I was in the very best hands I could be throughout. David took what was quite a nerve wracking experience and made it genuinely a pleasure. I will not go anywhere else from here on, end of story.
Fantastic experience: I had my ears pierced with David recently and would highly recommend him. It is my second piercing with him having had my tummy button done a few years ago. He gives excellent advice and guidance as well as after care instructions that are simple to follow. My piercings have both healed very well. The jewellery that he offers is beautiful. Difficult to choose which was my favourite. Loved them all. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now for piercings or jewellery. He has also in the past helped out friends and family who have had problems with piercings done in other studios. Nothing is too much trouble for him. Goes above and beyond.
Fantastic experience: David is a consummate professional who has always been an absolute joy to deal with for piercings and jewellery, I always feel like I'm in safe hands and like I'm actually being listened to when I'm describing what I'd like. Jewellery is best on the market as well so many good brands of well made stuff to choose from!
Negative experience: Really professional and kind. But the prices of jewellery being really dear, and all being behind a secret paywall; as well as a cancellation fee if I decided to not go through with it made it feel like entrapment
Hi Jamie,
Thanks for your feedback. We're really glad to see that you felt David was so professional and kind.
Both the starting price of jewellery, and the cancellation charge are available to view when you make a booking. Indeed, you're required to tick to say that you've read both of these things before your booking is completed. You can view them on the link below:
https://angelespiercingtermsandconditions.wordpress.com/2020/12/28/angeles-piercing-terms-and-conditions-for-booking/
We completely appreciate that, as large companies makes their terms and conditions so inaccessible it creates a culture where few take the time to read any before agreeing. As such, we've done our very best to make them as easy to read as possible. They're less than one page and written in the plainest possible terms. If you read them and don't agree, or would like further information, you're not obliged in any way to precede with your booking. Regrettably, if you elect not to read them, there is little we can do.
Like we say, we're really pleased to see that you felt David was so professional and kind, and hope to see you again in the future. However, we would strongly encourage you to reach out ahead of time if you have any pricing queries so as to avoid disappointment.
Fantastic experience: Had my Septum pierced by David today and it was an amazing experience . I was continually reassured about everything and this was amazing even though I wasn’t nervous! I trusted David with every step of the process! - my piercing came out really nice and I was debriefed well on how to care for it + got amazing jewellery to adorn it Would highly recommend doing a piercing at talisman Tattoo. Thanks so much :)
Fantastic experience: I had my rook pierced with David recently and honestly, I can not recommend him more. He was super friendly and made me feel super comfortable during the appointment, it was a bonus that my partner was allowed to come in the room. David explained in thorough detail the after care, healing and choices for the piercing. I felt well informed and confident. The piercing was super clean and the healing process easy due to the swiftness of the piercing. David encouraged me to email or message with any questions or needs for advice. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Had a second piercing done by David and can say both experiences have been nothing but professional, welcoming and friendly! David keeps you informed throughout the process whilst offering great guidance and advice. 10/10 experience and would recommend to anyone looking to get pierced!⭐️
Fantastic experience: * Review for both Talisman Tattoo and Angeles Piercing* - Angeles Piercing - I have had a couple of piercings with David, and wanted to leave a long overdue review. The studio is spotless, there is a thorough consent process, and all equipment is decontaminated professionally in front of you. David is personable, friendly, and obviously skilled at his job. Plus, his Instagram is a mix of hilarious and very informative. Appointments are easy to book, for both piercing and downsizing. I have also popped in previously after managing to pull an ear piercing out removing a helmet - and David was able to clean and replace it there and then. The jewellery available is absolutely stunning. It's not the cheapest, but it's clearly good quality. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending David for piercing (ear and intimate piercing in Plymouth). - Talisman Tattoo - I have had two tattoos here, with Rebecca and Robin. Both have healed well with no issues. Again, the studio is clean. It's a cosy space, with lots of greenery! Because of the cosiness, unfortunately only the person being tattooed can be upstairs, but not a problem if you don't need a hand to hold. Both times the process was explained clearly, time was taken to listen to what I wanted and draw up designs.There are also a wide selection of drawings from all the tattooists available in books downstairs. Prices are fair (in my opinion) and clearly explained. I would recommend Talisman Tattoo for anyone thinking of getting a tattoo in Plymouth!
Negative experience: This review was difficult to write because David seemed like a lovely guy during the appointment, and based on my limited knowledge, I believe he is skilled. My piercings healed well. However, I went alone for my first piercing and didn’t know how to advocate for myself. I feel that he took advantage of that. Prices were not displayed anywhere and were only revealed after I had already chosen my jewellery. I didn’t really know what I was doing and chose pieces purely based on how they looked. I realize I should have asked more questions, but I also think he should have been upfront about pricing. When I was finally told the cost, it felt like an afterthought after a lot of information was given about the jewellery. At that point, I felt pressured to accept the price even though it was far above my budget. This placed a serious financial burden on me. In the days after the piercing, the jewellery caused significant pain because of its unusual shape catching on things. I was not warned this might happen. It affected me so much that I was unable to sleep for three days. I eventually changed the earrings for smaller ones from another piercer, and the pain almost completely stopped. Several other piercers have been surprised by some of the advice David gave me, saying it was overly cautious. This included that downsizing was a necessity, I should not wear anything over my ears for six months, and I should avoid dangly earrings for two years after the piercing. After talking to friends, I learned I am not alone in being upsold by David. At least one other person had a very similar experience. I also want to clarify a misconception I had about UKAPP accreditation. I thought it was an official license for ethical piercing, but it is not. It is an organization that accredits piercers who align with their values of safe physical piercing practice. Membership is by application, so not being part of UKAPP does not automatically mean a piercer is unsafe. Also, being UKAPP-accredited does not prevent upselling. I have heard that upselling might even be encouraged in some circles. I am not trying to harm David’s business by posting this review. I trusted him and felt conflicted because of the many good reviews I had seen. I want to share my experience and clear up some misconceptions so that others can go in with more knowledge and confidence than I had. I believe that with the right knowledge and confidence, David is an excellent piercer. It is just that I did not know what I was doing. Getting pierced by David caused me to lose confidence in that piercing and in the industry as a whole. Maybe that is my fault, but I hope no one else has to go through the same experience.
Hi Marie,
Thanks for your honest review. Please accept our apologies for the delay in replying. As you’ll
be able to tell; in over 6 years this is the first negative review David has received and he wanted
to ensure that a considered reply was offered. Ultimately, he really tries to consider any
opportunity to learn something a good one, even if it stings to begin with.
Having spent the weekend reflecting on the contents of your review and our substantial
communication following your appointment, this review remains a disappointing one. Not least
because it’s been developed with the assistance of other, local studios who clearly hold a
massive conflict of interest. It also remains disappointing that we were never given the
opportunity to resolve the issues you had with overswelling, which we would happily have done
without question.
David is genuinely devastated that you didn’t feel able to advocate for yourself and that this
caused you to spend more than you were comfortable with. This is the very last thing he would
want for anyone. Anyone who knows him knows that he is empathetic to a fault in this regard,
frequently encouraging folks to spend less than they intended too at their appointment.
Nonetheless, pricing was explained to you and multiple opportunities presented to object before
any commitment to pay was incurred. None of these opportunities were taken. David uses the
phrases “Does that work for you” and “Please don’t spend more than you’re comfortable with,
”
in the vast majority of his appointments, yours included. If these opportunities are not taken,
there is very little we can do. In your own appointment, you showed significant enthusiasm
towards the pieces you’d selected way past the point at which the pricing structure had been
explained to you and multiple opportunities to express concerns pertaining to pricing presented.
We simply had no reason to think you were anything but comfortable throughout.
We’ve gone back and forth considerably on whether to reply to your concerns about UKAPP
and the piercing industry more generally and decided that it ultimately isn’t in our remit to refute
these claims. Some of the critiques you level are not without merit and a small minority
(although, granted, far more the larger chains than the smaller independents) do utilise unfair
sales practises. David has been a vociferous opponent of this section of the subculture his
entire career and continues to be so. Nonetheless, this section has quite clearly been discussed
and developed quite heavily with other, local body piercing studios and we hold no desire to
have public facing, vicarious arguments with such studios. Should they have criticisms about
UKAPP or the industry more generally, there are a number of industry forums where they are
welcome to hold his discussion with David directly.
Whilst the overall contents of your review are really disappointing as we truly feel you were
given the opportunity to spend less and didn’t take it, we are at least glad to see that you feel
David is such a competent piercer. We wish you all the luck in the future and hope that your new
piercer is a better fit for you.
All the best
Fantastic experience: Love my tattoo. Rebecca did an amazing job in designing my tattoo for what I wanted. Can't wait to go back for another one. The bug is back! Thank you
Fantastic experience: I've had a couple of tattoos here with Rebecca. The studio is small but everyone is friendly. It doesn't have that mega disinfectant smell some places have, despite being clean (of course!). And the music isn't intense. I'll be back and plan to get some work from other artists.
Fantastic experience: Definitely recommend getting a piercing done here! David was super knowledgeable and couldn't have made me feel more comfortable. Will definitely come back for more :)
Fantastic experience: Got my eyebrow done by David today and they were so lovely and made me feel so comfortable, asked permission for everything and overall is just a lovely person and easy to chat to. Absolutely love my piercing and definitely will come back for more in the future
Fantastic experience: I have had a few piercings from David (who is great!) but today was my first with Megan. She was so lovely and knowledgeable and really enthusiastic. She listened to what I wanted and then suggested an even more amazing alternative that I had never considered (double conch!) And it looks incredible. Thank you Megan!
Fantastic experience: I went today to have my ear pierced and for my daughter to have her lobe consult before she decided if she wanted her ear piercers , was greeted by the lovely David who helped put my daughter who can be very anxious at ease. Megan talked her through her piercing she was so lovely and kind and her accent is wonderfully melodic and put me at ease. She was extremely prodessional kind and helped me choose the perfect jewellery and placement. I left feeling happy and so pleased with my piercing.
Fantastic experience: had the best piercing experience i’ve ever had here with david. a truly lovely individual who explained the process so well and made sure i was comfortable ! thank you david ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: I visited on Saturday to have my septum pierced by Megan and she was absolutely amazing! Friendly, professional and thorough! I am so happy with my new piercing and cannot recommend her highly enough. Will definitely be back!
Fantastic experience: Got three tattoo's done by Stevie! She's amazing, kind and really patient with you! Cannot recommend anyone better!!
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff great work and highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I have been to David for my piercings numerous times now and today was another exceptional experience! David instantly puts you at ease and is incredibly professional! He talks you through everything in enough detail that you are well informed but not too much that your overwhelmed. After wanting an intimate piercing for a number of years I finally mustered up the courage to get two!!! I was incredibly nervous but he made the whole experience as comfortable as possible! The jewellery he has on offer is absolutely stunning and such great quality! 11/10
Fantastic experience: I got two piercings done by David and it was such a lovely experience. Typically, I am nervous when getting piercings done, however, he made me feel so comfortable and calm. He was amazing with engaging with conversation and ensuring I was informed during the whole process. I recommend coming here for any piercings!!
Fantastic experience: Nipped in for a quote and left with a booking with Rebecca,following week had the tattoo which was superb,Rebecca was brilliant and looking forward to going back again.
Fantastic experience: After thinking about a nose piercing for years a couple of people recommended David and they weren’t wrong! I am nervous and David was professional very knowledgeable and put me at ease. I felt I had chosen the right place. His studio was pristine and standards high. The Jewelry is not run of the mill and there is something for everyone with excellent choice and ethics. Highly recommend. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Had my cheeks pierced by David today and it was a great experience from start to finish. Although I've been thinking of getting these piercings for almost 15 years I was still very nervous as I'm quite a shy person but David explained the whole process thoroughly from the actual piercing procedure to the aftercare and made me feel so at ease that the piercings were surprisingly easy and not as painful as expected. I am very happy I chose David for these piercings and would trust him fully for any other piercings I may want in the future. Even though it's over an hours drive from where I live to the studio (almost 2 on public transport!) I'd never go anywhere else now.
Fantastic experience: I had 2 piercings here by David, and he made the whole experience so positive, and really helped me feel comfortable by engaging in conversation and thoroughly explaining aftercare and what was going on during the piercing, he’s also been great with follow up appointments after my piercings to solve any issues and make sure they’re healing nicely. Would definitely recommend David to anyone wanting a piercing, and he has the most beautiful pieces of jewellery and overall its a very positive experience!
Fantastic experience: I had a “get what you get” tattoo service whereby you use a gumball machine to pick your design and I’m so glad I went for it! Stevie is fantastic, really tentative and asked plenty of questions to ensure I was completely happy. I’m so pleased with my tattoo! The studio is clean and full of beautiful art and everyone was super friendly!
Fantastic experience: Great tattoo artist, will be going back for my next tattoo!
Fantastic experience: I have been to David for (stunning) jewellery several times and he’s helped me with piercings from other shops that haven’t healed. Yesterday he pierced my daughter’s ears. He explained everything carefully, without talking down to her and made sure that she felt safe and comfortable at every stage. He really considered her needs and showed her the care and patience we would all like to receive. Thank you David, you’re an excellent human!
Fantastic experience: I was really nervous getting my nose pierced, but David made me feel really comfortable by letting my boyfriend join me in the room, engaging in conversation and even telling me some of his funny piercing experiences! You can tell he loves what he does and also helped me pick out a beautiful piece of jewellery. Best piercing experience I’ve had!
Negative experience: Avoid ! / funny how you has so much to say now after you asked me to not contact the studio ever again and suggesting that tattoo artists who are not working in your studio are not talented. Very poor customer service - my review is based on this, not the price of £50 for a two lines on a thumb lol pricing and making a fool of people oh yeah, that’s the second that I reviewed on. People really needs to go elsewhere as there is no respect to other human being in „talisman tattoo”. Whoever I was dealing with , this person was very arrogant, abusing and disrespectful. And arguing here in the comments only proves this.
*At no point did we suggest that other tattoo artists who don’t work in our studio aren’t talented, that’s just simply not true and we would be happy to provide proof of the conversation on request.
You were abusive and belittling purely because you weren’t happy with the quote you were offered, this was before you were asked not to contact us again.
We’re sorry you felt the need to leave this vague review based on a small interaction through Instagram.
We’re also sorry your review is based solely around the fact you didn’t like a quote you were given for a minimum charge tattoo.
We’re also sorry you felt the need to then belittle us about how we run our business.
We’re grateful to all those who have been supportive of our business/how we price our services based on their understanding and respect of its worth.
We will continue to be grateful of all of our loyal and new clients who respect our studio and our artists.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly atmosphere, I got pierced by David and he was lovely! Took the time to explain everything thoroughly, very patient, very polite, he made me feel like our appointment was about me and I never felt rushed.
Fantastic experience: such an amazing experience!!! i was super nervous about the whole experience but david walked me through the whole process and answered any of my questions which really calmed my nerves!!! the jewellery selection was so beautiful, i instantly fell in love with the piece i chose ( i’ll include a photo)!!! it was definitely not as painful as i thought it was going to be!!! was a really fast process and i know i will definitely now never be able to go to any other piercer!!!! i highly highly recommend!!!! ✨
Fantastic experience: I got my tattoo done by molly, this was my first ever tattoo and she was so so sweet and amazing throughout the whole process, she did an incredible job and I couldn’t recommend her more!! :D
Fantastic experience: I got my philtrum pierced today with David and had a lovely welcoming experience. David is kind and reassuring, and the piercing experience felt very open and conversational! I’m very happy with my piercing, thanks again :)
Fantastic experience: Brilliant communication, professional, respectful and not too pricy either. Got my first piercing here today and it went sooo smoothly!!
Fantastic experience: I can't rate this place highly enough! I have had all of my best tattoo and piercing experiences here and recommend them to everyone :)
Fantastic experience: David @ Angeles piercing was so professional and welcoming. Beautiful jewellery too, so pleased with it - thank you! :)
Fantastic experience: I've had my septum, nostril, lobe and cartilage pierced here across several appointments and honestly wouldn't go anywhere else, David is so professional and knowledgeable! I wouldn't trust anyone else now- also, the range of jewelry is high quality and interesting! Thanks again
Fantastic experience: I got a conch and helix pierced here by David and the whole process was wonderful. David made the whole process feel really relaxed yet professional, he asked for consent throughout and made the whole process feel unbelievably comfortable and safe
Fantastic experience: I have been visiting David (Ángeles piercing) for a couple of years now and he has done many piercings for me and downsizes. He allows for an hour time slot for each appointment so you don’t feel rushed and are very well informed. I also have a very low pain tolerance despite my huge love for piercings, but I always feel so welcomed and made to feel comfortable and relaxed. I have over 20 piercings over the years done at different locations and David at Talisman is by far the best I have ever used and I couldn’t recommend anywhere better!
Fantastic experience: Been to see David (the piercer) a few times, and he is easily the most friendly piercer I’ve ever been to. Super thorough with explaining the process and making sure you’re comfortable, plus a huge jewellery selection to choose from!
Fantastic experience: I have visited David on three occasions for piercings and resize. I adore my stacked lobe. He was even happy to provide some advice and guidance on a piercing I had stupidly and spontaneously had done at another mainstream shop when I was concerned about the placement and healing. I would highly recommend David. I will absolutely return for future piercings I have planned. He is just a generally nice bloke and his passion for his job is evident. As a mother of two daughters, who will one day ask for their ears pierced, I wont trust anyone else to do it. The studio is a relaxed and friendly place.
Fantastic experience: I had my helix pierced by David (Angeles Piercing) and I'm really happy about it! It was my very first piercing, David took the time to explain everything to me and made me feel comfortable while he was piercing my ear. He is very professional and very kind. If you are looking for a place to get your first or a new piercing I definitely recommend it!!
Fantastic experience: I had my snake bites pierced by David (Angeles Piercing) and all I can say is WOW! He is the best piercer I have ever visited, so welcoming, thoughtful and kind. The aftercare I was given was made so simple and he made me feel so comfortable whilst I was having my piercings, and also afterwards when I messaged I received a prompt response and David offered to have a look at my piercings if needed. I would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a new piercing, he takes his time and uses quality, threadless jewellery which is ideal for piercings. Thank you very much :)
Fantastic experience: My partner got a fairly complex piercing done here. David the piercer was absolutely excellent. Knowledgeable, kind and interested. Really good manner and the studio was absolutely spotlessly clean. We both appreciated that everything was cleaned and prepared Infront of us and explained throughout the process. David also had top quality banter and an excellent sense of humour. The other staff in the tattoo place were also kind, polite and engaging, just a really nice settled place. Absolutely reccomend .
Fantastic experience: Honestly, this is the best piercing place I have ever been to! I would much rather pay a little more than other places and get the service I did with David! He was so supportive and talked me through absolutely everything and didn’t just make assumptions that I knew everything because I have other piercings. I really appreciate this lovely human and will defo be going back again for any future piercings! Thanks, David!
Fantastic experience: demi took my idea and made it something magical. this was my first tattoo and it was such a wonderful experience, i hope to get more tattoos from the lovely people at talisman in the future!
Fantastic experience: I wanted my nose pierced but was super nervous. Having something like a piercing is a big thing and you want to know you're choosing the best place. Being a nearly 40yo means you've heard and read lots of bad reviews! I decided to see David after reading his brilliant Google reviews to get some info and my goodness he knew his stuff. I felt safe, informed and reassured through the whole process. David was a really down to earth guy and there was absolutely no pressure. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Very thorough and professional, definitely can't wait to get the rest of my piercings here!
Fantastic experience: First time at the studio today, I was tattooed by Demi, she was very welcoming, friendly and professional. She made sure I was comfortable and happy throughout the appointment and she is an absolute gem. Her work is amazing and I will definitely be returning in the future. The studio is lovely and clean, love all the artwork and houseplants. Definitely recommend to everyone.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic service, went through all procedure with detail (and didn't mind how chatty I was) beautiful result in a wonderful non judgement zone! Highly recommend, thank you David!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing tattoo from this place would recommend
Fantastic experience: great place to get tattoos! lovely artists, didn't make me feel anxious like i always do around new people. great quality :)
Fantastic experience: The staff are lovely and they all seem to have a laugh with each other which is really nice to see :) definitely coming back my tattoo is amazing too for the price
Fantastic experience: This is absolutely the best peircing experience you can have. David is professional, friendly, caring and works in a calm reassuring manner. There are so many jewelry options which are stunning and 100% worth the price. I am so so happy with my new peircing thankyou David! I hope to be back again
Fantastic experience: Got my nose pierced for the first time with David, who was really great! It felt very safe and a comfortable environment. He was very considerate asking consent and informing me of the steps of getting the piercing/aftercare etc. Would 100% recommend him, especially if you’re more of an anxious person.
Fantastic experience: Clean, friendly and professional. Put us at ease and great to know you’re only a message away if we have any issues. Gorgeous jewellery to choose from. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: David did an amazing job with piercing, excellent customer care.
Fantastic experience: I was very nervous going in but David was an amazing piercer who explained the process clearly and made the whole experience very enjoyable. I went in for one piercing and came out with two as he did such a good job on the first one I decided to have another
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff with a friendly approach. Sunny and full of artwork and house plants. What more do you want.
Fantastic experience: I went in for a nose piercing but not really sure on jewellery and without a massive budget, David was so helpful in helping me pick out a piece I loved but was still affordable. After a bad experience with a previous nose piercing, David made sure I was comfortable the entire time and explained every step of the piercing before he started. Would highly recommend, especially to anyone with anxiety around piercings
Fantastic experience: I had a forward helix piercing done by David after a substandard piercing from another Plymouth store (a well known chain!). The original piercing hadn’t even been done through the cartilage and within 6 weeks my ear was rejecting. David spent a good amount of time examining the piercing, and explaining to me what the problems were (wrong site, wrong angle, wrong jewellery), and the options that I could take. I decided to remove the original piercing and allow it to heal, then have a new forward helix piercing performed by David. BEST. DECISION. EVER!! The entire process was so different to the original one. I was invited to choose my final jewellery, rather than being told I had no choice other than colour. David talked me through the entire process, including all aspects of aftercare and downsizing, BEFORE he started the piercing. He was always available for all my aftercare questions with all the info I needed. Thanks to him, I now have THE most beautiful forward helix piercing which has healed beautifully and just looks perfect. It’s been a 7month journey to reach this point but worth every second. In every single appointment I’ve ever had with him, David always asks permission to touch before he makes any contact with my skin. I really value his respect for my body autonomy and I feel safe with him. I’m now planning another helix and a daith piercing with David and have complete confidence that they will be done in a professional way, to an exceptionally high standard. I would absolutely recommend to anyone considering a piercing, no matter how big or small, to contact Angeles Piercing. If my children ever want any, that’s where I will be taking them!
Fantastic experience: I would definitely recommend this piercing place as David is really lovely, professional and informative. Throughout the whole process, I felt really at ease as he explained every step and gave precise details on the aftercare. You can pick out your jewellery before the consultation, which has a really nice range that differs to other piercing shops. The cost of the jewellery is a little pricy, but it is really good quality and I understand that you get what you pay for, which is a professionally done piercing! Despite the price, I will definitely return. Thank you, David!
Fantastic experience: David Angeles is by far the most professional piercer I've been to. He is very thorough, and explains the process in detail so you know exactly what to expect. I would especially recommend him to anyone who is nervous about getting pierced. Additionally, he keeps a very clean studio and maintains a sterile process throughout.
Fantastic experience: got my first tattoo here with rich, who was very reassuring, offered breaks throughout. the studio itself was beautiful and did a lot to add to feeling comfortable through the entire time i was there. couldn't recommend enough!
Fantastic experience: Robin has done several tattoos on me now and it’s always such a positive experience. The studio is beautiful, everyone is friendly and warm and Robin always makes sure I’m comfortable and happy moving forward. He checks in regularly and is a really talented artist. I’m always getting compliments on his work and am looking forward to getting more in the future. Thank you for everything, truly appreciate your work and time
Fantastic experience: Really friendly and talented staff. Very clean. Nice place to be.
Fantastic experience: David was extremely friendly, professional, efficient and made the whole process super easy and relaxing! Will definitely be back for another piercing soon!
Fantastic experience: Most definitely the best piercing experience I've ever had. David is extremely professional, friendly and patient. He makes you feel so at ease and talks you through the whole process in great detail. Highly recommend and I will definitely be back.
Fantastic experience: I ordered a piece of jewelry that I had been eyeing for a long time and this shop was the ONLY one who responded and got me the jewelry that means the world to me. So friendly and great to work with through some messages. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Fantastic experience: Great shop. The artists all seem to get on really well, which makes it feel like a friendly and welcoming space. I come here to get tattooed by Sophie Mahadevan (@bleuire) who is an exceptional artist, great laugh, and creates a relaxed atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been pierced twice by David and have had a great experience on both occasions. David is super knowledgable and professional and makes the piercing process very comfortable. I would highly recommend to anyone!
Negative experience: Had a number of small tattoos done here in April. I was recommended to have Ricky do them for me I’ve had multiple issues with the tattoos including blown out lines , patchy results and the fact that the sizes aren’t similar on two mirror image tattoos. Complained to him direct got a reply then he stopped replying, I then messaged the owner was made an offer for a voucher even thou I live over 200 miles away to when I asked the value of the voucher I then heard nothing so will just end up getting these removed. Not good :(
Negative experience: Paid in full and waited 7 weeks for the appointment gave him the designs then at 9pm the night before I received an email saying he couldn't do exactly what I wanted and could only complete half the work and would require further sittings/payment for the remainder or the originally agreed work they did issue a refund but I've known other people have the same amount of work done at talisman for the same price There's plenty of other places saying they are willing to do the work exactly as I wanted in one sitting for a slightly cheaper price all of the other shops don't have good things to say about talisman tattoos
Fantastic experience: I got my nose piercing today, I was incredibly nervous beforehand however David was so calming and created a respectful environment where I felt relaxed. I was worried about my needle phobia but David was so understanding and made sure at every step that I was okay. The whole process has now got me excited for many more piercing in the future. Thankyou again :)

Fantastic experience: Angeles Piercing is a wonderful place to get your piercings. I went in for two lobes and a helix piercing, both were done amazingly. The whole process was explained to me and I was reassured with the whole thing. David is very knowledgeable and can help you with any questions you have. About a month after my helix piercing, I had a panic as it was very swollen and causing a lot of pressure on the piercing. Luckily, I called David straight away and they got me in to lengthen my bar. They also gave me advice on what to do next and was really reassuring through the whole process which I am grateful for. My piercing is doing a lot better now. I would 100% recommend Angeles piercing to anyone looking for a new piercing!
