Flying Dagger Tattoo: Reviews
Fantastic experience: “I was very satisfied, my cover-up turned out beautifully. I highly recommend to everyone. I also visited other studios nearby and they all told me it would be difficult to cover and that I would need laser removal. But he managed to do it without any laser. He is a true professional. Thank you very much.”
Ester thank you for this kind review.
Your arm has been a really fun project and I am super happy you like the outcome! If you have any problems, or require any retouchs, please come and see me when its healed.
You sat brilliantly for this too. Well done
Fantastic experience: Last night my wife got a tattoo and we were truly very satisfied with the whole experience. The staff were amazing: kind, professional, and very attentive to hygiene. The place was clean and well organized, which is very important to us. The work was done perfectly, with great precision and attention to detail. The final result is absolutely beautiful, even better than we expected. The price is fair and matches the quality of the work. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a high-quality tattoo in a professional and friendly environment. We will definitely come back!
Thank you for this kind review Marzio, it is really appreciated.
It was great to meet you guys and Ester sat incredibly well! Im super happy you like the outcome too. If you have any issues at all please come and see me.
Take care friends. See you soon
Fantastic experience: I've had two visits to the flying dagger for norse style tats. Lovely friendly staff, good banter while being worked on. Professional artists, good aftercare advice. Healed up nicely. Will visit again for part chest, shoulder and upper arm tatt.
Fantastic experience: TempleMax has worked on me for days of my life & I plan on many more. A top notch chap who is a genuinely brilliant artist. Always feel confident/ comfortable in his company & it's great to see him work and to wear that work afterwards! Been stopped numerous occasions and asked who did the work, one time the guy asking was a tattooist who actually knew Max by name as Max had recently judged a competition he was in, very cool
Fantastic experience: Had a back tattoo and Max was quick and very friendly and felt welcome. Definitely recommend coming here as i will definitely come back for more!
Fantastic experience: Been going to Alastair for my tattoos for over 10 years now. I wouldn't go anywhere else. The whole team at flying dagger are welcoming, polite and professional.

Always recommend and always will! See you guys soon!

Fantastic experience: I've had several tattoos by Gav here and I love each and every one of them, he's a very talented artist. From what I've seen of the other artists work they're equally as brilliant. The atmosphere in the studio is relaxed enough to put people at ease if maybe they're nervous about a first tattoo, but also hilariously entertaining, you won't notice the time passing!

Lovely people all round and great artwork
Fantastic experience: I've had tattoos from Alasdair for years and keep going back. Really good studio
Fantastic experience: I started chatting to Max on Instagram a few months ago and decided that based on his posts and stories that I definitely wanted a tattoo from him. The studio is chilled and all of the artists are all happy to have a chat. The whole experience was amazing and Max's work is outstanding as you can see from the photo. I have already discussed more ideas with him and I'll definitely be going back. Thank you mate for a fantastic experience and a sensational tattoo.

Fantastic experience: Had my first tattoo by Gav yesterday and honestly I’m over the moon, already thinking about my next one. Great atmosphere in the shop and great prices, I’m sure I’ll be back before the end of year…. Got the bug again now. Cheers Gav
Fantastic experience: Happened upon the studio when we were looking for somewhere to get a small lettering tattoo done in memory of someone who recently passed away. Elliot was professional, caring and we were most impressed by his skill in his craft. He took a small tattoo idea and turned it into something really nice ! We were both so impressed by the professionalism and vibe of the studio that we returned for more. Elliot did another wicked piece on my husbands neck and skull. Alaister is a master in his style of tattoing and was able to produce an amazing piece of art for my hand in a short period of time and is currently working on a much bigger piece for my birthday. Really cool guy and easygoing. The whole team there is a truly good vibe and it's pretty difficult for me to feel comfortable in any social situations but I feel quite homely, understood and welcome in their presence, which I can't praise them enough for. Would absolutely recommend Flying Dagger!
Fantastic experience: Travelled an hour from stoke to wolverhampton for everyone of my tattoo's.. gave is superb at what he does and has plenty of years experience under his belt.. defo recommend getting in touch with him, ive got a full sleeve and half my body done, and am booked in for june to do an armpit and start other arm.
Fantastic experience: Best place for best artwork.. did my tattoo twice here with receey, best tattoo artist.. i would highly recommend this place as they have nice group of realistic tattoo artists..
Fantastic experience: Been tattooed by Max twice now. His anime art is sick. 10/10 will be going again
Fantastic experience: All my tattoos done at Flying Dagger. Wouldnt go anywhere else. Always a fair price for their work and always high quality
Fantastic experience: First off, every single tattooist here is hilarious and its always a vibe when entering the building. The skill of each artist is unbelievable, I'm used to there being 1 or 2 stand out artists in a tattoo studio but every single artist at flying dagger tattoo is exceptional at what they do. 2 of many of my pieces from gavskelton are shown below I would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: been tattooed by reece here many times always a great place, top atmosphere, great artists, definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: Had 11 tattoos done here by Reece, my go to artist, love the atmosphere and quality of tattoos highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Arrived at Flying Dagger Tattoo with a simple and messy start to a sleeve but thanks to the excellent work of Reece we're now one or two appointments away from finishing my Sleeve entirely and I couldn't be more happy with it! The customer service is spot on and the general vibe of the shop is always welcoming! Wouldn't go anywhere else!

Need to see you again in the future.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had 4 tattoos by gav. I love them all, I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Fun and relaxing atmosphere. Put me at ease. Very clean environment. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Came in with a disaster from a previous artist and Alasdair took the challenge head on and created an amazing piece of blackout/dark work to cover it up! Can’t recommend these guys enough. You will also never be bored as Gav can talk for England
Fantastic experience: Had 11 tattoos done by Gav Skelton and honestly wouldn't go anywhere else. Great atmosphere and always great conversation to distract from any discomfort (totally worth it).

Fantastic experience: I've visited many studios over the years but none have bought me back the way that this place has.

We returned today for my wife to get a long awaited Stag tattoo, after a 5hr sit Rich managed to realise into actuality what my wife had been wanting. The premises are light, clean and open, the guys were friendly and helpful.
Hey Rob, thanks for this review! Great to hear you both enjoyed your experience with us, it was great chatting with you both too.
We look forward to seeing you again in the future
Take care, catch you both soon
Negative experience: The quality of my tattoo was NOT how I thought it would look from a “ five star” tattoo parlour. It has only ever itched, bled and bruised since I got it months ago with no hope of it getting any better. For nearly £100 I would like to think it would have been great quality for such a small and fast sitting , but clearly not. Do NOT go here !
Fantastic experience: This is a friendly & awesome tattoo studio clean & professional but with friendly staff & banter Gav does my tattoos but the other artists r very highly skilled I recommend this place 10000000% I wud never go anywere else now
