The Inksmiths Chichester: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Great place. I had a walk in on friday for 2 piercings at the piercer (jack i think) was really friendly and professional. We talked through the piercing and aftercare. Really happy with my piercing and they have healed really well. Will be returning ☺️
Hey Kathryn! That was Ayden! Although they’re both bald and beardy so i don’t blame you for the confusion So happy you had a lovely experience ❤️
Fantastic experience: 1st class all the artists are friendly and I was made to feel very welcome and listened to.
Thanks so much Valerie!
Fantastic experience: I have gone to two of the artists here, Jack did the honeybadger and script above each of my knees (booked for more soon) and Beano did the others (also booked for more soon) they are both extremely professional and kind. They are both incredibly amazing to bounce ideas off and they both genuinely seem to love tattooing and being around people (as do the other artists who are often curious and love seeing eachothers work). I enjoy finding ideas that interest them (as i have so so many ideas), working with each of them to find an idea we both love and will be really cool. The whole atmosphere at inksmiths, downstairs where the piercers that often greet me are kind, easy to talk to and upstairs with the tattoo artists is amazing, i feel so comfortable and really look forward to getting more. I highly recommend both Jack and Beano, the other artists I havent been to but are very nice, easy to talk to and i hope i can get some awesome art from them too eventually.
We love the little collection you’re putting together!! Thank you so much for coming to us
Fantastic experience: Myself and 3 friends came in for piercings on Saturday lunchtime. Charlie was super professional and we were all very happy with her work. We will be back for more!
We love to hear it! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fabulous from start to finish. We had such a great experience (hidden helix, daith and belly button piercings). Brilliant care, excellent customer service and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much!!!
Fantastic experience: So welcoming and friendly when we popped in. The staff are super friendly and made my daughter's first piercing a great experience, keeping her at ease and making sure not only me but she was happy with everything. The studio is kept to the highest of standards and is spotless. I will never go anywhere else and even though this was our first visit our first experience has sealed the deal this is my new go to tattoo studio.
Thank you so much Emma!! Honestly this review means the world to us ❤️
Fantastic experience: I had a tattoo on my wrist with my mums ashes in it from Brad very friendly and professional love my new tattoo thanks so much
Brad is a true gent! Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Outstanding piercer I had some done today and he was amazing would highly recommend him without a doubt
Thank you Tiffany !
Fantastic experience: AJ was absolutely amazing, he was incredibly approachable and friendly, was honest and very clearly spoken as he was explaining everything to me and I would highly recommend him to everyone I know locally, amazing service, very quick and very relaxed. Thank you so much for my conch and flat piercings!! Will be coming back definitely
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Best tattoo studio in the area! Having been tattooed by Jack multiple times now, I wouldn't go anywhere else. He is always going above and beyond, creating amazing designs, and executing them perfectly. Jack and the whole team at Inksmiths are incredibly friendly, and always up for a laugh, never have I felt out of place, or like there was any ego from the artists (which can't be said for all studios). He has fostered a genuinely easy going environment, which makes even a long tattoo sitting go by quickly. Jacks tattoos have always exceed my expectations, and he keeps the process easy with plenty of good conversation and making sure you are comfortable throughout. The location is also super convenient to get to for those that dont drive, being right next to the train station and bus station. If you are looking for a professional, kind and fun tattoo artist (or artists) that properly care about their craft, then look no further.
Such a lovely review Steve!! We appreciate you ❤️
Fantastic experience: I cannot rave about Inksmiths enough. Not only have I had an amazing tattoo experience with Brad, along with upcoming appointments with Jack for something more to his specialty - but I’ve had nothing but legendary treatment and experiences with Charlee for piercings. I’ve had conch, anti-tregus, tregus, mid helix, Bermuda lobe and lip piercing all carried out by her and she’s been excellent throughout every experience and aftercare. She’s gentle, thorough and explains everything step of each piercing and no matter how many piercings I’ve had prior she always ensures I understand what care the new piercing will need. Highly highly recommended for both ink and metal lol.
This means the world to us Gina! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I'm so glad I chose Inksmiths for my first tattoo. Jack is friendly and helpful, from the first messages through the finished job. Very talented, and the final piece is far beyond my expectations. Nice friendly vibe from everyone else there too. Would happily recommend and my first choice for further work.
Hi Clare! So happy we went beyond expectations! Was an honour to tattoo you!
Fantastic experience: Perfect service from Jack & his team. Jack’s tattoos are marvellous, never had any issues with the ones of mine that were done by him. Professional, hygienic and such a good atmosphere
Thank you so much Em!
Fantastic experience: Had 3 tattoos done by Jack, cannot recommend him enough, he fixed my tattoo so I love it again when I thought there was no hope, such good vibes in the studio I felt completely comfortable, such a wholesome guy also ✨
Wholesome review ❤️
Fantastic experience: Popped in today to buy some new helix ear rings. Charlee was really helpful, knowledgeable and even fitted them for my daughter, ensuring they were the right size. Great service, would highly recommend and will be back for future piercings.
So happy to hear about your experience with us Alison ☺️❤️
Fantastic experience: Jack at the inksmiths was brilliant with all my tattoos but my cover up was so good when I was told by another tattooist company it couldn't be covered
So glad we could help!
Fantastic experience: Ayden absolutely smashed my tragus and snug piercings! He kept me calm when I was nervous about the pain, explained everything as he went, and made it such a good experience. Super smooth process, amazing results, and he was just as great when I went back for downsizing. Very knowledgeable and easy to trust.
Thank you so much for the lovely review !
Fantastic experience: Jack and the gang have always been so welcoming and friendly whenever I have popped in, I have received multiple tattoos from them over the years and their piercers have always been very knowledgeable and provided great services too. All the staff are super friendly and always go out of their way to put you at ease and make sure you're happy with everything before they start their service. Nothing is ever too much for these guys. The studio is always kept to the highest of standards and is always spotless too. I would never go anywhere else, and they're always the ones I recommend.
This means so much to us! Thank you Rosie ❤️
Fantastic experience: I’ve been tattooed at the ink smiths, pierced at the ink smiths and also have guested myself as a tattoo artist. The studios always welcoming and provides a clean safe environment for anyone who enters. Jack has made the space a unique, calming place to come and be tattooed/pierced. Highly recommend this studio if your in or around Chichester.
Kat you’re a legend in Bognor!!! Very kind words coming from you!
Fantastic experience: I got my first tattoo with Jack and it was the best experience ever! I felt so comfortable from the moment I stepped into the building and he guided me through everything. 100% would recommend to everyone, the best around :)
That’s so lovely!!! So glad we could make you feel comfortable for your first!
Fantastic experience: Jack is a hard working, caring and incredibly accommodating artist that always listens to customer/client first and works with them to create something they will love. I would give more stars if possible!!!
Such a lovely review!! You’re always welcome at our studio!
Fantastic experience: Its a clean, judgement free, safe and feel good environment to get beautiful pieces done - Jack did the shattered skull on my hand and my entire right arm (arm on right in pic) and Beano did the skulls and spines on the back of my neck
That’s really sweet of you Heather! Glad to hear you feel safe with us. That matters the world to us!
Negative experience: Got a piercing a couple days ago, it seems to be very wonky. Not best pleased.
That’s a shame Tilly ! If you’re unhappy we’re more than willing to correct, amend or refund the piercing for you ☺️❤️
Fantastic experience: I’ve got multiple piercings from here and so have many friends and family and they’ve been perfect, the staff are very friendly and easy to chat to and it’s very sanitary.❤️
How lovely!! So happy to hear you’ve had such a lovely experience!
Fantastic experience: Ayden is amazing! All my life i thought i could not get my belly pierced… went to ayden and he made it happen. He is friendly, caring piercer and as a person. Would definitely go back :)
Hey Dee! So glad we could help ☺️❤️
Fantastic experience: Just wanted to leave a review regarding not only the tattoo artists here but the piercers. I've had a beautiful delicate shoulder piece done by Jack, amazing quality, only tatt that's stayed as it was put on my skin, delicate and intricate fine line, Jack thank you! No one else can touch my skin now. Also to Jake, who did my husband's fat leg piece of a Pokémon tatt in the dead of winter in the freezing cold like a champ and that tatt still looks as fresh as the day it went on my husband's leg. Comments are made constantly about it, and my husband wants to book in for more hand tattoos (oh yeah, Jake did those too) and another project piece on his tatt free arm. I will not go anywhere else for skin art now, the lads at Inksmiths absolutely are the top of their game. Also wanna leave a shout out to both Charlee (who pierced my helix) and Ayden (who pierced my conch) for their honesty and humour. Charlee was very knowledgeable telling me to leave my helix alone for six months, come back for a size down in three months and she'll pop a ring in when my six months are due. She was very calm, collected told me to breathe in a s out with her needle and helped me with some aftercare. Ayden was humourous, and put me at ease re-piercing scar tissue from a previous piercing hole which had closed. Bled all over him (his gloves not his skin!) and he cleaned me up, and fitting some funky gothic jewellery for me. Told me to come in for resizing and told me as well to leave my helix alone because it was getting a irritation bump he'd noticed. He also sold me some new septum jewellery after I lost my ballbearing from my original. Both Charlee and Ayden make it very clear they are both new to piercing, hence why their prices are what they are. They can't be beaten on jewellery selection and I've never had a issue.
What a fab review ❤️ thank you Kate! Glad to hear you’ve had positive experiences with both tattooing and piercing with us !
Fantastic experience: Had a piercing done by these guys , really pleased with the whole process. Clean unit no pain and healed like a dream.
Thank you so much Jason!
Fantastic experience: I got a piercing here recently and I’m ver pleased with it the place was very clean and one of the piercers Charles was very polite and professional would 100 percent recommend to anyone looking for a decent piercing
Charlee is lovely! So glad you had a good experience !
Fantastic experience: Ayden the piercer at inksmiths was super friendly. He made us feel very welcomed with his fun yet polite and professional manner. You could tell he takes great pride in his work. I had both my nipples done by him and a friend had her belly button pierced. Would highly recommend going to see him. Nearly two months later and all piercings are healed nicely. His aftercare information was spot on. Ill 100% be retuning for him to do more body modifications on me. 10/10 Five starts Go see this legend
So happy to hear about your good experience with us Kieran!
Negative experience: Got my labret pierced here and within 8 hours it fell out. I then rang up the next morning when they opened and the guy basically told me it’s normal and he can’t do anything about it. No apology, no nothing. Don’t recommend, waste of money.
Hi Leah! Real shame to hear about your bad experience. On rare occasion balls can fall out and we do offer to replace them free of charge. I believe you said you weren’t local so didn’t want the replacement. If you’d like a refund simply drop us a message and we can get that sorted. ☺️
Negative experience: Unfortunately had an unpleasant experience, my snakebites piercing was pierced wonky by the lady. Also when i came in with my boyfriend we said that he wanted a septum piercing like my gage (16g), a man looked at my piercing and said he wants a 8g. We were unfortunately uneducated at the time and piercing studio did not educate about gages etc. We were obviously confused. Turns out, my boyfriend wasn’t even pierced with an 8g and a different piercer confirmed it was 14g. Again, another incident (in the same week after i got them done) was that my ball came off my snakebites piercing and i lost my jewellery, i rushed to the studio for a replacement and the man said “16g” out loud and put in a (different piercer confirmed) 14g in one of my piercings (only one fell out) and continued to lie to me saying the ball was “big”. The studio is clean and they have good jewellery but it was incredibly unprofessional. I have evidence for all of this, i am pierced quite wonky and a different piercer confirmed that the non wonky snakebite is also pierced at an angle. It’s very upsetting and not okay as i payed for this service, i do not want this happening to people. The vibe was also quite depressing, though communication online was alright.
Hi Kornelia! It’s a real shame to hear this! We have numerous good reviews and happy clients with our piercing work but it seems we have let you down on multiple occasions! We will look into this gage issue immediately ☺️
Fantastic experience: 10/10 cannot give a better review. Been visiting for years and had many tattoos from multiple artists. Jack being my top artist who's done majority of my work. Very friendly and accommodating. Would not go anywhere else, the artwork is on another level.
Aw Katrina!!! That’s such a lovely review ❤️ you’re a legend in the studio mate! Thank you for the trust
Fantastic experience: I went to inksmiths for my first tattoo in july i had a fella called beano, his a top man he sorted me out with what i wanted and adapted it to make it better im from London definitely will be coming back in the new year 100% recommend!
Amazing review! Thank you so much Alfie!
Fantastic experience: This year, Jack has done some very special pieces for me — a portrait of my beloved dog, who passed away last year, and a barn owl for my grandad, whom I sadly lost this year. Not only did he create the most beautiful artwork for me, but he also treated me with such kindness and respect. Jack is so talented and continues to amaze me with every tattoo we do together. Inksmiths is so welcoming and friendly; I can’t recommend them enough. Especially if it’s your first tattoo, they’ll put you at ease. Such a lovely bunch of people, as well as amazing artists!
It helps when you have clients like you that want awesome tattoos
Fantastic experience: I had some really awful tattoos done by another person that were affecting me quite badly, I contacted Inksmiths to see if anyone thought they could fix it, everyone was so friendly and helpful and they got me booked in so quickly. Jack did an incredible job with what I thought was an impossible task and honestly above everything else really helped me feel comfortable in my own skin again. Couldn’t thank him enough! ⬛
This was a tough one!! I’m so glad Jack was able to salvage it for you! You did brilliantly and thank you for the trust !
Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend this place more! I've had 2 done with Jack so far and im never not amazed! got many more to come, very comfortable environment and very accommodating, if your debating on getting a tattoo and or piercing then definitely check them out! All are absolutely brilliant there.
Thanks Callum!! You’re an all star!
Fantastic experience: Perfect piece to honour my gals, including my first soul dog. Jack is so talented, I basically booked my next project as I left the salon. 100000/10
Thank you so much! It was a blast tattooing you!
Positive experience: I had some piercing changes done. Both piercers were great at dealing with some very fiddly piercings. However, my welcome to the shop wasn’t very friendly and the interaction wasn’t very friendly either. Bit disappointing as this adds to the overall experience of a shop and makes a customer feel comfortable. Cannot fault the actual piercing service though.
Good morning Gemma! We appreciate your honest review and have taken your point up with our piercing team. Our studio is known for 5 star service and a warm welcome as can be seen from our various 5 star reviews so it appears we dropped the ball with this one. We apologise service wasn’t up to standard for you and we will endeavour to improve for the next time!
Fantastic experience: Charlee is such a lovely piercer, helped me decide what I wanted and it was so much smoother and faster than any I've had before, didn't flinch! Will definitely come back and couldn't recommend her more they have really nice jewellery, too, mine has a pretty moon from the getgo instead of the typical ball
Thank you for such a lovely review ❤️
Negative experience: I finished work on a Saturday and headed over as soon as I could as I needed a stud for my new nose piercing as the old one had fallen out. I understand that I came late on a Saturday as they we’re likely closing up but I had no other option however, I still arrived an hour before the closing time that is stated online and on the windows of the business. I tried to walk into But the front door is locked and there was someone sat on the sofa who I tried to ask for help for just a nose ring and they just shrugged their shoulders and told me they were closed. Found it quite rude and disappointing that they couldn’t help me Buy a little old nose ring, even though the shop should be open.
Hi Aykan! It’s advertised on all our socials, website, and on the front door & windows that the Piercing Opening Times are 10-5pm. The person on the sofa was unhelpful to you but wasn’t a staff member. Tattooing continues onto 6pm if necessary hence there being people in the studio. We apologise for the inconvenience but a one star review seems a little harsh
Fantastic experience: Great service. Came in last minute to get a piercing and the staff were very nice and helpful
Thank you so much Charlotte! We’re glad you had a good experience !
Fantastic experience: I have sat with jack for many hours now and I am so happy I found him as an artist. Love his work. Also hes probably the nicest guy ive ever met.
Thank you so much Nathan ! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Great experience today.My daughter had a lip piercing done and all staff we met were really friendly. The lady who did the piercing was gentle and explained everything to myself and my daughter.We didn’t feel rushed,we were able to take as long as we needed as my daughter felt a bit dizzy.She was offered a sweet to help with her blood sugar which was really thoughtful and caring. All aftercare was explained well. I would definitely recommend.
Thank you so much Nicola! We are so glad you had a good experience with us! You’re welcome back any time!
Fantastic experience: Just had my 5th tattoo with Jack. I am already planning my 6th. The Inksmiths is such a chilled and friendly place. Charlee and Aiden are great on the front desk, so friendly and helpful. Jack,Jake, Brad and Beano are amazing artists and such lovely guys. Its such a friendly place to get tattooed. Thanks all at The Inksmiths x
Thank you for such lovely feedback!!!
Fantastic experience: Got piercing done the other day by charlee, she did an amazing job and it’s still healing would absolutely recommend her and would go back for another piercing with her again soon. Thank you
Thank you so much Rachel!!
Fantastic experience: Took my 11 year old daughter to get her ears pierced today, Charlee (piercer) was amazing with her. Made her feel very comfortable and informed her of every step. Ayden was also great with her. They both made us feel very comfortable. Highly recommended .
Fantastic news!! Thank you so much Hayden!
Fantastic experience: Had my nose and ears pierced By Charlee. She was amazing from start to finish. Took things at my pace and made me feel at ease. Will definitely be back again. Great choice of jewellery too!
Thank you Stephanie !!
Fantastic experience: My daughter had her nose pierced this afternoon with the lovely Charlee, and I couldn’t be more grateful! She was really anxious beforehand, but Charlee was so kind and patient—she explained everything clearly and helped calm her nerves. The whole experience was so positive, and my daughter is absolutely over the moon with her new piercing. We can’t thank you all enough!
Thank you so much Joanne!
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best studio in the area! Jack and the team are friendly, supportive and knowledgeable. I’ve had 6 tattoos done by Jack and they always look super clean and heal really well. They’ve never turned their nose up at a design or made me feel uncomfortable, so are the perfect people to speak to if it’s your first tattoo. Immaculate vibes all round!
Thank you so much Paige!!! It’s been a pleasure tattooing you!
Fantastic experience: Awesome studio with awesome artists who have a variety of specialties! I’ve seen Jack & Beano so far & both are great at what they do (they’re pretty cool humans too ♀️) I absolutely love all the work if had done by both of them & am constantly going back for more! The ‘desk humans’ are welcoming & knowledgeable & Monty ‘the manager’ (Jack’s dog) is very good at looking cute & being a good boy
Thank you so much!!!!!
Fantastic experience: Seriously wouldn’t go to anywhere else, Beano is amazing. Every design is spot on first time like he’s pulled it straight from my brain. Everyone is super friendly. You will definitely be able to find an artist who can do what you’re after! Nothing is too much to ask. Amazing environment to be in and of course the tattoos are perfect!!! 100/10 wish I could give more than 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much Abi!!! Beano is new to our studio but he’s smashing it !!
Fantastic experience: Had my first day session with Jack today and my god am I happy with it! From the get go all the staff were super welcoming and friendly and the studio was clean and presentable. During the whole session Jack was chill but professional, kept making sure I was ok and made small talk to keep me distracted while getting a rough tattoo (neck, throat and sternum). The attention to detail was incredible and nothing was too much of a bother! Would definitely go back there for another tattoo!
Oh my goodness!! Thank you so much for such a lovely review Rebecca !! We’re all in awe how you sat throat, both sides of neck and chest all in one sitting
Fantastic experience: Really pleased with everything Brad did regarding my tattoo. I can’t recommend Brad and Inksmiths enough. Great environment and atmosphere, and most importantly, great customer care. Thanks Brad
Thank you so much Darryl! It’s been a pleasure tattooing you!
Fantastic experience: I can't thank you enough Jack. This is such a special piece for me, with a huge amount of sentimental meaning. I put my trust in Jack fully and was so happy with the result. I can't recommend Jack and the team enough. They are absolutely amazing. Jack took his time to design the art,kept in touch throughout the process to make sure I was happy and tweaking the design if needed,before showing me the final design to agree. I was made to feel welcome and at ease from the moment I walked in the door. The studio was clean and tidy and everyone friendly. If anyone is thinking of a tattoo, definitely inksmiths.
Music to our ears and much needed positive boost for us this morning!! Thank you Sam!! You’re welcome back any time.
Fantastic experience: Amazing artists and welcoming atmosphere!
Thank you Jake!!
Fantastic experience: The Inksmiths Tattoo Shop is amazing! Brad has done multiple tattoos for me, all perfectly detailed and beyond my expectations. He’s a true professional. Susie at the front desk is super friendly and has also given me some great piercings. Fantastic service and a welcoming atmosphere every time. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much Josh!! We aim to please!
Fantastic experience: Lovely really kind and sweet and very professional makes you feel welcome xoxo
Thank you so much Ian!!
Fantastic experience: I was super nervous getting my lip pierced but I was made to feel super comfortable and my opinion on position etc was asked beforehand which was lovely
Thank you Anna!!
Fantastic experience: Got both nostrils and vertical labret done here, shes lovely and is very professional.
Thank you! Susie does some cracking work!
Fantastic experience: I’ve gotten both tattoos & piercings from The Inksmiths & I always love going back. Susie is an incredibly educated & thoughtful piercer who makes sure you’re comfortable in the studio & happy with your piercing. She provides everything you would need to know about healing your piercing as well as sells piercing aftercare solution if you need it. So far, I’ve only been tattooed by Brad here, and he has always been very kind & mindful throughout the tattoo process. His tattoos have been my easiest healing tattoos as well, so highly recommend.
Hi Amy! So glad to hear both factions of our business have done you well!! Thank you for the lovely review
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t ask for a better experience when it comes to Jack from the Inksmiths l. I’ve now had more then one sitting with him and the experience and quality of work I received is second to none I would definitely recommend him and all of the guys there.
Hey Liam!! You’re a star! Thank you so much!! Can’t wait to finish your gamer pieces !!
Fantastic experience: Jack’s been tattooing me since his days as an apprentice. He’s been an absolute joy to have been tattooed by over the years and it’s been a pleasure to showcase his artwork and see how he’s grown into his own style. The Inksmiths is a professional studio that has come into its own under his ownership. The other lads that work there (Jake, Brad and Xavier) also maintain the highest levels of professionalism and have their own unique styles which brings a diversity to the shop. All of them produce high quality work and take the time to ensure you’re comfortable and are completely happy with design from start to finish. There is a plethora of experience across all the artists. Susie’s an amazing piercer who only handles high grade jewellery and maintains a clinical environment in her room. She’s as gentle as she can be and talks you through the whole process. All in all a shop worth going to for whatever you need.
Thank you Ayden!!! We appreciate it!!
Fantastic experience: The Inksmiths are always incredibly welcoming and the artists are friendly and knowledgable and fully inclusive as well as being super talented. I would highly recommend for anyone, first timers or well versed with ink. They cover a variety of styles and can work with a customers ideas and needs to create amazing tattoos.
Thank you so much Charlee!!!!
Fantastic experience: Jack has always been great; he's the only artist I go to for tattoos now (three from him and counting) - constantly open to ideas and collaboration with the aim of doing his best work every time, and it always is. Inksmiths is welcoming, clean, and relaxed, with friendly and dedicated artists who care a lot about the work they do.
Couldn’t ask for a better review Max! Thank you for bringing in such incredible concepts for us to work with!! You’re a cherished client!
Fantastic experience: Had the most amazing artist, Jack, do my fine line that was very personal to me, he was patient, kind and his work is top notch. The place was very clean and all the staff were friendly, Jack really took the time to make me comfortable and talk me through the whole process as I was a little scared. Honestly couldn’t have had anyone better for this piece and it was hands down the best experience. Will be coming back for another fine line soon
Ahh!! Zuzanna you sweetheart! That’s so kind of you! Look forward to seeing you again!
Negative experience: Bad customer service, bad attitude, if you are new to tattoos just don't expect any patients.
Hi Ilker! So sorry you had a bad experience with us! Amongst a busy Saturday, we took the time for a last minute unscheduled consultation and you were advised to come up with some clearer ideas and come back to us as you were unclear on what kind of tattoo you were after ♂️ We were more than happy to work with you on this just wanted more direction from your part! Sorry if this didn’t meet expectations!
Negative experience: Awful experience here today, after not being made aware I would need my daughters birth certificate for an ear piercing we were refused service, however this wasn't my issue, people are humans and make mistake and forget things, what was my issue was the awful attitude and lack of any compassion or empathy towards my nine year old child crying her eyes out, after simply saying I was never told I would need it. all it would have taken was a I'm so sorry, my mistake we will have to reschedule and that would have been fine, not a problem, however after I very calmly explained I wasn't told, have driven a fair way to get here I was met with a horrendous attitude from susie, told there's no need to be mad (repeatedly) when I was speaking calmly, no apology or even a remote hint of any kind of customer service or empathy towards a very upset child. Absolutely would not recommend taking your child here for ear piercing
Hi Amy! My deepest apologies for your poor experience with Susie yesterday! She’s usually great with children and I have had countless five star reviews with her prior interactions. As you say we’re all human and perhaps Susie wasn’t on her best performance that day due to extraneous circumstances. However the moment you were told no you proceeded to have an attitude despite being given an apology for not clarifying the ID required beforehand, giving your deposit back for the inconvenience and offering a reschedule… my receptionists witnessed Susie offering all of this and though she may have been blunt I can assure you it was only a professional response to an aggravated customer. We will address this customer service issue in house and I can only apologise for the poor experience you suffered.
Fantastic experience: I travel twice a year from Ireland to get pierced by Susie. She's the most gentle piercer I've ever been to. I had my nipple and flat done by her and went back for my anti-tragus and nostril this year. There's genuinely no other piercer I'll go to, I used to be terrified of piercings but I barely feel them when Susie does them. I had a tattoo there also in January and it was a really brilliant experience. Everyone is easy to get on with and understanding! If you're on the fence, know you're in good hands here.
Thank you Rio ❤️ you’re a legend
Fantastic experience: Hubby and I are so pleased with our matching tattoos inked by Xavier "el pinche loco." He was patient and kind with developing our idea into the art work. Highly recommend.
Amazing review!! Thank you
Fantastic experience: Jack is amazing, don't know what to say other than he is the nicest guy and is extremely talented!
Thank you for the fabulous review we aim to please!
Fantastic experience: Had my first tattoo done with Xavier. Really happy with the result, his pre appointment comms were great and he talked me through the process as he worked.
So glad to hear it Samantha!! Xavier is new to our team and is doing amazingly!
Fantastic experience: Today I had my first ever tattoo done by Xavier, he ktalked me through everything and made me feel calm. Today was an incredible experience and I can't wait to go back
Ah Hollie!! We’re so happy to hear that! Xavier is new with the team but is quite the talented gentleman!! We love that you had such a good experience!
Fantastic experience: First time inside tattoo shop found it clean and run with professionalism and friendliness. Brad one of the artist who done my granddaughter and my daughter in law was exceptional
We very much appreciate this review David! Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Best shop ever! I wouldn’t go anywhere else, previously I’ve had tattoos from other artists however since finding inksmith Brad has done all and Suz for my piercings. The shop is welcoming, friendly, such a beaut vibe, like family to me now. Love you guys
Our clients are everything to us!! We’re so glad you feel this way ❤️
Fantastic experience: Amazing welcoming staff who always make you feel at ease. Would recommend Susie for piercings, Jack the owner and Brad and the rest of the tattoo artist are all lovely and talented in every way! Also Montimus is so cute and friendly shop dog!
Thank you so much Jeena ❤️
Fantastic experience: Have had multiple tattoos done with owner Jack and the work is always great and fairly priced. Although I have not had the pleasure of going with any of the other artists who work there seeing their artwork done on others whilst I’m there has always looked good. They all seem like a good bunch and would always be happy to recommend .
Thanks for the review Jon!! It’s been a pleasure
Fantastic experience: Jack is one of my closest friends from Uni, so he knows I mean this… I wouldn’t travel all the way down the country if I thought he was bad at what he does. Despite this being the first time he’s tattoo’d both my wife and I, I already knew he was brilliant! I’ve seen so much of his fantastic artwork over the many years I’ve known him, so when he moved into the tattoo business, I knew I wanted him to tattoo me. Finally, we mad it happen, and dammmm… was it worth? Absolutely! I gave Jack a loose theme of Jamaica and cocktails and he come back with these stunning tattoo’s that together create a bigger picture but are also stunning on their own too. The hummingbird representing Jamaica as a national animal and their colours, and the beautiful cocktails are even better than I imagined. I simply could not recommend Jack and everyone at The Inksmiths enough… whether it’s your first tattoo or your 20th, these lot are the best.
Brilliant review! Thanks Dylan!!
Fantastic experience: I travelled down from Runcorn to Chichester just to be tattooed by Jack, amazing atmosphere, comfortable studio, friendly all the artists are so nice, it made for a perfect experience. 100% would recommend and will be travelling back down again soon for another one.
Thank you Becca ❤️ we appreciate you travelling all that way!! Hope we looked after you well!
Fantastic experience: I’ve now had 2 piercings by susie (piercingsbybean) and my first tattoo with Jabhausen. both have been perfect experiences, so accommodating and a very welcoming, calming vibe to the place, puts you at ease whatever you are having done. Will absolutely be returning<3
Incredible review ! Thank you Ellaney
Fantastic experience: I got my first tattoo done at the Inksmiths a few months back. Jack was ace, made me feel at ease and comfortable as I had no idea what to expect. He talked me through it and the final product was awesome! Ready for the next one, I’ll see you soon!
Thanks for taking the time to do this Tom! We appreciate you ❤️
Fantastic experience: Jack has done multiple of my tattoos and he smashed it every time! i even went all the way to cornwall to be tattooed by him at his first convention, that’s how much i trust the guy!! he’s supportive and excited about all ideas you bring to the table and is understanding of any changes. extremely approachable and a very talented man. I have also had multiple piercings by susie which have all healed perfectly and the experience was always a good one! the best studio, with the best studio dog!
Such an amazing review thank you India! You’re a legend!
Fantastic experience: I have had multiple tattoos and piercings at Inksmiths and they are amazing. Really friendly and deliver amazing work!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had tattoos from Jack and piercings from Susie over the last few years. Clean shop, professional service, great prices and amazing people!
Thank you so much Fraser!! Lovely review!!
Fantastic experience: Had 3 piercings by Susie and wouldn’t go anywhere else! She is so professional but also understands the anxiety behind the piercings process, she made me feel very comfortable throughout! All my piercings by her have/ are healing very well

Fantastic experience: Amazing Tattoo artist and experience! Thank you Dan! Incredible place and talent!
Thank you Scarlett ❤️
Fantastic experience: Being my first Tattoo I wasn't sure what to expect from the experience and I'm happy to say The inksmiths made me feel really welcome. Brad did matching tattoos for me my sisters and mum and he did an amazing job, much as they were only small tattoos were so happy with the results. Brads a proper down to earth chap with a great sense of humour but also a true professional at the same time.
Hey David!! So glad to get a good review from you!! Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: very professional
Amazing review Amelie!! Thank you for coming!
Fantastic experience: Amazing place. I did my ear piercing. Professional staff.
Thank you so much Gimhan!!
Negative experience: My friend and I came in for a nipple piercing. After seeking advice from two separate piercing professionals at different locations we were strongly advised to immediately remove the piercings due to how incorrectly they were done. Both piercings were uneven, had an incorrect placement, and were entirely different from what we had envisioned. we did contact the piercer and she was understanding. However, we have been extremely negatively affected by this experience. do not recommend.
Im glad our piercer dealt with your issue with understanding. Mistakes happen but can’t apologise enough for the bad experience! We aim to have our clients come away happy so I’m disappointed to hear about this.
Fantastic experience: Definitely recommend this place for tats! Love mine done by Jack and I've booked with him again for next year! Cool staff too
Thanks so much Eden!!
Fantastic experience: Very kind, professional I'm veryhappy with both my tattoos
Thank you Gemma we appreciate you !!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service, friendly staff
Thank you Racheal!! You’re welcome back any time!
Fantastic experience: Had a tragus piercing with Susie last Friday, brilliant, hardly felt a thing and no problems since, healing very well. I'd highly recommend her, she's very knowledgeable, efficient and we had a good laugh as well. The premises are very clean and friendly and some of the video's of the tattoos looked incredible. A talented bunch of artists.
Thank you so much!! We aim to make it an enjoyable experience!
Fantastic experience: Trust Susie with all my future piercings! She’s lovely and welcoming and made me lots less worried and scared :) great experience
So glad it went well!! Thank you Ebony!
Fantastic experience: Had a tattoo by jack the other day and can’t speak highly enough of the whole experience. He took my drawing and turned it into my dream tattoo. He is genuinely interested in the healing and keeps in touch after to make sure it’s all ok. Can’t ask for much better really.
Fantastic review Olivia!! So glad Jack met your expectations and some!!
Negative experience: Can't give a true review as they are hopeless. I've emailed them and rung them left my details for them to get back to me , but they have totally ignored me. I appreciate that they are busy but dnt leave messages to say " leave your contact details, and we will get back to you " if they have no intention of doing so
Hi Peter! Apologies for our tardiness in responding to your email and voicemails. If we have got as far as referring you to one of our artists then I can only assume your email was lost in *one* of our artist’s email correspondence and doesn’t reflect on the 4 artists we have available. Seems you were one of the few that slipped through the cracks in the high volume we receive so we will take your one star review as a point to do better in the future. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I wouldn’t ever hesitate to recommend the team at The Inksmiths. All your tattoo and piercing needs under one roof with friendly faces and great craic. Simply the best.
Thank you so much Charlotte!!
Fantastic experience: Always a great place to go into. Everyone is very friendly, and always a great vibe. Artists always give such a great experience and look after you as a client very well. Been there when I got my first tattoo and have been back many times since. Highly recommend.
Such a lovely review! We appreciate you !
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t have been happier with my beautiful tattoos. Jack is soo talented and made me feel at ease immediately. It was amazing to see how he took my ideas and made them so much better than I ever could have imagined. The whole atmosphere is also very welcoming and relaxed. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much Lucy! It was our honour to tattoo you!
