Sacred Garden Tattoos: Reviews
Positive experience: The studio itself was very clean and welcoming, and the environment felt professional. However as this was my first tattoo I do feel a little disappointed with the guidance I received during the process. I originally wanted the design smaller but I was strongly advised against it and told it would “blur into blobs” over time. Because I didn’t know much about tattoos at the time I trusted the advice and agreed to a larger size than I actually wanted. Also since healing some of the lines have spread unevenly which has left me a bit unhappy with the final result. I also felt that some of my concerns and ideas about adjusting the design were a little dismissed and weren’t really explored in much detail and the appointment felt a little rushed. Looking back, especially after having another tattoo experience elsewhere, I think I would have benefited from more collaborative guidance and clearer explanation of the options available, particularly as a first time client. I don’t think the experience was terrible but I do wish I had felt more listened to and supported throughout the design process.
Hi, I’m sorry to hear your experience was unsatisfactory. It would be really good to hear from you to see if there is anything we can do to rectify the issue!
Feel free to send a message over to us on social media or via email and I personally will chat to you about it. Gemma
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience getting my tattoos reworked with Ravi. She was very attentive and accommodating, and I am so pleased with the results!
Fantastic experience: Great experience with Daisy at Sacred garden. Good communication before the appointment to get the design just right. I felt really comfortable in the studio when having it done which was important to me as I'd not had a new tattoo in many years! So pleased with the end result.
Fantastic experience: Loved getting my tattoo here with Daisy! Was a laid back atmosphere and she was very happy to make any changes to the design. Will 100% be back
Fantastic experience: Daisy has been tattooing me for a while & I wouldn't go to anyone else now. Everyone at sacred gardens is lovely, its very relaxed but professional. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I had my first tattoo done by Tang and she was really kind and not intimidating at all!! she was really informative about aftercare and showed me everything i should do to take care of it. I will definitely be coming back!!
Fantastic experience: Had a tattoo done by Ravi and I absolutely love it. I felt so comfortable asking to tweak features and the size. She was so kind and lovely to talk to and the resulting tattoo was even better than I imaged!
Fantastic experience: Lovely artists, great talent and hardworking, very friendly and beautiful studio! Have been here for two tattoos now
Fantastic experience: Really happy with my panther tattoo. I only booked it in the day before I got it, but the service was professional and friendly. Gemma was lovely to talk to while she did it and took such care and dedication in her work. Would come back again and thoroughly recommend.
Fantastic experience: This was my first tattoo and Daisy made the whole process very easy to understand, even after my numerous questions! I’m very pleased with my tattoo and would highly recommend Sacred Garden and Daisy to anyone.
Fantastic experience: My first tattoo and I couldn't have asked for a better studio and artist in Daisy. She was really patient and helpful with what I wanted, listening and giving her professional advice. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Got my first tattoo with Daisy, who was very attentive to my idea and made it such an easy and comfortable experience, explaining the process perfectly, highly recommend !!
Fantastic experience: Had a tattoo by Jo today, which I couldn’t be happier with. The studio has a relaxed environment and both Jo and Daisy were very friendly.
Fantastic experience: It’s very easy to write a crappy review for somewhere, or someone. But I feel it’s easier to write a review when you come across something truly spectacular. I messaged Ben, one of the artists working out of Sacred Garden and asked for a last minute tattoo if it was possible. He messaged back promptly and confirmed it was possible, something I did not expect on a Friday afternoon! When we got there, Ben was friendly and happy to discuss the points of the design yet to be ironed out. We got started and Ben was chatty, and very professional. He did a really great job and I could not be more pleased with the result! Ben should be proud of his work and I look forward to coming back for more. I think more studios need to be run by the artists and Ben does a real service to Sacred Garden. Keep up the great work guys, hope to see you soon!
Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience I had with Daisy , extremely talented and listened to what I wanted . The tattoo was way better than I ever imagined . I was nervous when I arrived , but after 5 minutes of talking to Daisy I was no longer nervous . 5 stars from beginning to end . I am definitely going back for more .
Fantastic experience: really welcoming staff and great art, thank you
Fantastic experience: Just been back for my second tattoo with Lily. Wouldn’t want to ever go anywhere else. She put me at ease and her designs are fab. Love the vibe of the shop too.
Fantastic experience: Have had all mine done by Daisy, she is fantastic and incredibly easy to chat and get along with, great artist and makes every tattoo unique.
Fantastic experience: I have had 4 tattoos with Ravi now and every time it's an absolute pleasure, super professional, super designs, super comfortable atmosphere, I can't recommend this tattoo parlour and artist enough! If I could give more than five star I would!
Fantastic experience: Went to get a tattoo with Leigh today, the atmosphere was great and the quality of tattoo was brilliant too, she checked in regularly and made sure I was doing okay throughout. She was really chilled and we talked about everything and anything really, definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: Fantastic studio, very professional and knowledgeable staff. So much care and attention to detail with the client in mind as a priority. I couldn't have felt any more comfortable. Very impressed with the quality of the work, care, friendliness and aftercare too.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional tattoo artistry and detail. The staff are very knowledgeable and thoughtful. They are open to design changes and like to make sure you are pleased with the final product. Would visit again tomorrow!
Fantastic experience: Great experience , friendly , professional and relaxed. Gemma was lovely and gave great advice !
Fantastic experience: i couldn't recommend this lovely studio enough :-) everyone was nice and friendly, i've been tattooed by ben and ravi and both of them were kind and patient throughout the process. it's a warm environment with great artists who are all clearly passionate about tattooing and giving the best experience possible, both in the studio and with aftercare. plus, there is a yummy coffee shop and it looks clean and cheerful with their plants and decor!!
Fantastic experience: Got my second tattoo done here by Ravi, I absolutely love the tattoo definitely will be coming back.
Fantastic experience: Amazing! Thank you Daisy.
Fantastic experience: I cannot be more satisfied with my first experience at Sacred Garden. The studio was clean, beautifully decorated, warm and friendly. Daisy was fantastic and her artistry is first class. She was very attentive, and made sure I was happy and comfortable throughout my visit. I hadn't planned on having anything too elaborate for my first tattoo, so a simple Celtic knot suited me just fine to begin with. The result was exactly as I had imagined and hoped for. Not only would I highly recommend this place, I'll be sure to book again soon for my next tattoo. 10/10
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t possibly give a higher recommendation here. Everything from the welcoming nature, professionalism and skill to the friendly and homey feel was outstanding. I would never go anywhere else! To the people working there, thank you - it couldn’t have been a better experience or outcome
Fantastic experience: Really loved my time at Headcase Ink - Ben is just the loveliest tattoo artist and he did such an amazing job. I'll definitely go back.
Fantastic experience: Had multiple tattoos done by Daisy who was extremely accommodating and created a really comfortable environment. The studio is very clean and decorated fantastically. Im in love with the pieces she did for me, including the fixture of two current tattoos. Would recommend the studio to anyone cautious of tattoo environments.
Fantastic experience: Today I visited Alex to have a feather to finish one tattoo off and then to have my daughters foot prints done but with dotwork shading. I have followed Alex since the beginning and cannot recommend her enough. She always listening to what I am asking and always gives an honest opinion with sizing, style and placement. The studio it's was so friendly and had the most amazing vibe.
Fantastic experience: I get tattooed by Inkleigh and she's a really wonderful artist. Great designs, always makes me feel comfortable and very good tattoo artist
Fantastic experience: ive had alex tattoo me for just over a year now and i couldent reccomend her enough, one of the most pleasant artists ive ever had tattoo me and will always be coming back to get more :)
Fantastic experience: such lovely people work there, especially ravi who i ALWAYS get my tattoos with, always makes me feel comfortable and the designs are amazing, they’re all so talented! Go here if you want your first or any tattoos to be your favourite.
Fantastic experience: I have been to Headcase Ink multiple times over the last few years, being tattooed by Daisy who is a wonderful tattooist and great to be worked on by. Always had a great experience, great conversations, made to feel safe and comfortable. And the tattoos always come out amazing! I would highly recommend this place!
Fantastic experience: Have had multiple tattoos here from two artists (Ben & Daisy) & couldn't be happier with the experience. They were both extremely accommodating and made sure I was comfortable and happy every step of the way. Will definitely be coming back for more
Fantastic experience: I had my first tattoo here by Daisy over two years ago, and it was such an incredible experience, truly the best introduction to tattoos I could ask for. She was kind and patient throughout as I was curious about the whole process, and I am so in love with all the tattoos she has done for me. I have also been tattooed by Ben here, and believe he is one of the most talented artists I’ve ever met. My experience with him was so great, the atmosphere is so comfortable, safe and professional, but also everybody is super friendly. I know I will definitely be getting more from both of them in the future, and would recommend them to anyone looking to get tattooed in Hampshire!
Fantastic experience: great tattoo work!
Fantastic experience: Lovely artists and welcoming studio! I got my 6th tattoo here after travelling for other tattoos and being very picky. Ravi did me a gorgeous dragonfly I am very happy with and was a pleasure to chat to. Priced more than fairly, I am already booked in to come back to Headcase Ink!
Fantastic experience: Had my first tattoo done here by Ben and it was absolutely perfect. I really appreciate the information that he gave me beforehand to explain the process and how I could expect it to age, and he was really honest and transparent with me which I really appreciated. It was a handwriting tattoo that meant a lot to me and it is exactly as I hoped it could be. The studio was small and really relaxed (and had a really good playlist) and I felt that I was in very safe hands.
Fantastic experience: got a tattoo done with ben a few months ago lovely experience tattoo turned out perfect and has healed with no problems. lovely artists and will 100% return in the future
Fantastic experience: Inkleigh Tattoo has done 2 beautiful tattoos for me in the last year. One of which was a cover-up on my wrist which is gorgeous and a large piece on my back. Couldn’t recommend her enough - incredibly talented, and she’s a sweetheart ❤️
Fantastic experience: I have been tattooed by Daisy, Lily & Alex (Inkleigh)..my son has been tattooed by Ben. All four artists are brilliant in their own rights with their own style of work. I’ve spent many, MANY hours in headcase inks studio and can honestly say each of them are Polite, honest, accommodating, talented and easy to talk too. Daisy in particular has provided me with the majority of my art which is quite extensive now & I am booked in for more. The studio is always clean and tidy, great use of the space available to them. Inviting and some nice talking points for new ones to the studio. If you are looking for an artist to provide a design and it’s out of the preferred style of the artist you approach, or they simply say it’s not something they would like to take on, don’t take it personally, do your research & find someone who does the style you’re looking for as their interest in that style will give them the drive to provide you with the best work within that style/design. Tattooists are artists and aren’t required to take on designs if (for whatever reason) they don’t want to. With all that being said, I can not recommend this beautiful bunch of people enough! ♥️
Fantastic experience: Daisy designed my first tattoo dedicated to my Mother, it meant a lot to me so to have her spend time with me designing it & talking it through meant the world. She understood how important it was for me & made the whole experience so lovely. I honestly couldn’t recommend someone more highly. Her artwork is insane & she is so talented, I almost feel bad for not getting something more interesting from her because she is so amazing at design. I felt totally relaxed & looked after, it’s a lovely atmosphere in the shop. Thank you Daisy
Fantastic experience: A great place with a unique style and image. Would recommend getting booked in here for your next tattoo
Fantastic experience: Fantastic studio, the best in Winchester . Custom artwork here is amazing. Friendly atmosphere and comfortable suroundings. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Have had 2 designs on my arms designed and tattooed by Ben, both have come out fantastically and I could not be happier
Fantastic experience: Visited here for several tattoos from Ben in October. Studio was clean, artists were incredibly friendly, and my tattoos looked incredible (both then, and now several months later). Would happily recommend this studio to women, LGBTQ+ people (especially trans people) and other minorities
Fantastic experience: Been going to Daisy for years now and I'm always happy with the outcome of the tattoo, the care and also the lovely chit chats. The rest of the artists here are also so nice, talented and very welcoming!
Fantastic experience: I have had multiple tattoos done by Ben at Headcase over the last year and had a fantastic experience every time! All staff are very friendly and Ben is an incredibly talented, professional artist. Highly recommend his work and the shop in general.
Fantastic experience: Ben did a lovely collar bone piece for me, fantastic service from start to finish. A lovely space and superb experience. Will definitely be returning soon for another tattoo!! 100% recommend
Fantastic experience: I’ve been to Headcase SEVERAL times over the last year and a half or so, and have had the best experience every time. Everyone is lovely and professional, and always up to do some fun little designs!
Negative experience: Would never go back to this place while Daisy is working there. Very rude abrupt and unprofessional.
Fantastic experience: Had my first Headcase Ink tattoo today by Gemma. Was an amazing experience and my tattoos came out perfect! I highly recommend Gemma who is totally professional and an awesome artist! Thank you Gemma and Headcase Ink Winchester.
Negative experience: Weren't interested in doing my tattoo at all ! It was a fair size ( £200 ) have several already and wanted to make into a sleeve , went to Asgard in the end , excellent service had one done and booked in for another. Really pleased.
Fantastic experience: Friendly, and top quality artists clean and professional very happy with my tattoos
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing service with Ben at headcase, he designed my new tattoo from start to finish and completed the lining of it with absolutely amazing skill, kindness and patience! I was incredibly wiggly and fidgety as this was a huge tattoo and only my second one, even with my horribly wiggling every single line was beautiful done with care and precision! Ben also did my first tattoo and I cannot recommend headcase enough, the decor of the place is beautiful, it’s got parking incredibly close and the whole vibe of the shop is welcoming and beautiful.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant Artist! Daisy was able to accommodate me last minute for a birthday tattoo. She has a gorgeous,clean and inviting setup with art decorating the walls. She was friendly and provided thought provoking conversations,which helped to take my mind off the pain lol. I am I love with my new tattoo and excited to return for more debates and ink! I highly recommend viewing their Instagram for more of their art.
Fantastic experience: Amazing place and the artists are extremely talented. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I've now had three tattoos from Daisy, who is incredible and so patient with me. The artwork is amazing and such good value. Will always recommend getting tattoos here.
Fantastic experience: Daisy was brilliant and worked really hard on what I needed. She was great.
Fantastic experience: Went in for my first tattoo which can obviously be a little bit nervy! Felt like I was in safe hands as soon as it started ! And the finished art was just what I wanted ! Brilliant! Will definitely be going back
Negative experience: Wasnt happy with how my tattoo turned out. Had a matching tattoo done, could not look more different. The staff are very friendly and nice.
Fantastic experience: Had 3 tattoos here now, love all of them and both ladies lovely and friendly! Will definitely be back for more :)
Negative experience: Very disappointed. The art work is amateur at best and I was charged considerably more than I was quoted. I chose Headcase based on the reviews. I strongly advise to go elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience at headcase ink, been tattooed by Gem for over 10 years great and friendly person would highly recommend to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Gemma has been doing my tattoos since I was 18. That's eight years now...and she's the one I'll always go to. Customises tattoos to suit your personality, always gives you realistic prices and ideas of what to expect / what will make your tattoo look best through the years. No nonsense, amazing srtwork and value for money. Couldnt recommend Gemma more.
Fantastic experience: Awesome work by Daisy :) will be back soon!!
Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful time at Headcase Ink with Gemma and her lovely apprentice Daisy. I was tattooed by Gemma and the tattoo was just perfect(thank you so much!). Gemma succeeded to make a lot of details, she really knows what she do, you can trust her! I strongly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Had my first tattoo done by Gemma today, she was absolutely lovely. Great atmosphere and highly recommend to anyone! Looking forward to getting more done by her in future.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely incredible ink smith, can’t fault Gemma one bit, got a tattoo done from her on less then 24hrs notice after thinking it was gonna be a long shot asking but managed to fit me in, highly recommend Gemma to anyone wether it’s a first tattoo or a 100th
Fantastic experience: Great experience at Headcase Inc for my first tattoo, made to feel so comfortable and relaxed, very happy with Gemma’s work and would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Lovely tattoos by Gemma yesterday - very quick and beautufully matching my designs on my wrist
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience, Gem is lovely and very talented. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I went to Headcase for my first tattoo today and I can safely say I'll be going back for more! Gemma is a lovely artist and her communication with before for the ideas and artwork really put any nerves to rest. Her experience shines through her work and I am so happy with my design. The price and quality are excellent and I would definitely recommend Headcase to anyone, especially first timers!
Fantastic experience: Gemma and Jon are lovely and incredibly talented. Definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: I had my second tattoo done by Gemma on Thursday and I cannot recommend enough! She is lovely, putting you completely at ease, and the drawing she created from my rough idea was amazing, exactly what I pictured, if not better! Will certainly be going back for any future work - thankyou!
Fantastic experience: Great service would definitely recommend, very pleased with my tattoo
Fantastic experience: Had a tattoo today done by gemma, fantastic artist,very welcoming and helpful with my design, thank you
Fantastic experience: To date I have had a half sleeve with double rose and pocket watch design all carried out by Gemma. She took my rough initial concept and has turned it into an incredible piece of body art. The detail is incredible and it has now inspired two further family members to also get ink done. So chuffed with it I will definitely be returning to turn it into a full sleeve. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Fantastic experience: Looking for a fab tattoo, look no further! Jemma is a fantastic tattooist!! Getting my sleeve by her and she’s doing a fantastic job on it, no regrets going to her.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic tattoos Tattooist who did great quality art Would definitely recommend to others and would go back again. Friendly artist and comfortable environment. Very happy with tattoos I got.
Fantastic experience: Absoultely fantastic! Gemma and Jon are extremely talented professionals, and really helped put me at ease for my first tattoo. Definitely will be a returning customer!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service, design and amazing final tattoo. Can not recommend highly enough.
Fantastic experience: I’ve spent time working in this industry and after meeting many unsavoury people and bad experiences I’ve now decided that I only trust Gemma to work on me. I’ve been getting worked on by her for 7 years and I’ve never ever had anything other than the most genuine heartfelt honesty and professionalism from the most passionate and probably skilled artist in the uk. I honestly can’t emphasise enough how she’s looked after me and her lack of concern about anything other than making myself and every single customer happy makes her simply one in a billion.. 5 stars isn’t enough!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic friendly service and really well priced. I've had work from both Gamma and John done this week and I'm thrilled with everything I've had!
Fantastic experience: Started half sleeve and it looks amazing. Incredible detail and awesome development of my ideas. Can’t wait for the next session! Gemma is an amazing artist and a great person too. Can’t recommend highly enough!
Fantastic experience: Got my first tattoo last week at Gemma‘s. We came all the way from Germany as my girlfriend had previous tattoos from her and was there to get a lion tattoo which turned out amazing even though it’s not finished yet. I got my compass done by Gemma‘s apprentice who did a great job. I’m super happy! Will be back for more! Keep up the good work, Jon!
Fantastic experience: Amazing and would recommend to everyone!
Fantastic experience: I've worked /got tattooed with Gemma Kennedy for few years now and I can't describe how amazing and personable she is !!! shes done a whole sleeve as well as different single pieces!! I get people stop me and ask who's done it and how perfect the work is!!! I have also recommended few of my friends to see Gemma and all of them have come back with more than one tatto from her!!! She is absolutely amazing and I know that every next tatto will be done by Gemma again and again !!!!
Fantastic experience: I have been tattoo’d by Gemma for years. There is no one else I would go to!! She is so passionate about what she does and will always find a way to put a unique twist on it so you feel the personal touch that she provides. She is a great artist and takes such good care of you wether it’s your first tattoo or your tenth!! Would rate 6 stars if there was an option!
Fantastic experience: Wow just wow I've had 4 and a half hours work from this lovely truly skilled lady. I've had experience with other tattooists before and she smashed it for me today . She is patient and listens to all my ideas and dreams and puts it into her own awesome style . Breath taking and I would absolutely recommend her !!!!

Fantastic experience: True artist and fantastic tattoo experience. Gemma has the imagination and creative skill to create a personalised tattoo from the ideas you give her. It’s like watching a masterpiece evolve as she works. Will definitely return for my next tattoo. Plus the shop is awesome! Thank you
