Can't explain your tattoo idea? Challenge accepted

Don't worry if you can't find the exact reference image or struggle to explain your idea. Our consultation process is designed to dig deep and bring your vision to life. We'll use sketching sessions and good old-fashioned chat to nail down exactly what you're after. Your perfect tattoo starts with understanding, and we're all ears.

This black-and-white photo depicts a tattoo artist sitting at a table, intently focused on his work. The artist, who has numerous tattoos covering his arms and neck, is using a stylus on a tablet, possibly sketching a tattoo design. The scene appears to be inside a tattoo studio, as suggested by the framed artwork on the walls and the overall ambiance. The lighting is soft, with a few ceiling lights visible, casting a gentle glow on the workspace. The artist’s expression is calm and concentrated, reflecting his dedication to his craft.

Since it was my first tattoo, I was very scared to start with, but Toby and all the other artists were very supportive

Toby did such an amazing job. I cannot recommend these guys enough. Also, being my first tattoo, I was very scared to start with, but Toby and all the other artists were very supportive of me. Thanks so much Toby and the rest of the Green Tide Tattoo team.

Immediately felt like I was in good hands

I was nervous to start my back piece as it was my first big tattoo and I was still on the fence about the decision when I went in for my initial consultation with Ben Jenkins. I immediately felt like I was in good hands; he listened to exactly what I wanted and was enthusiastic about my ideas. Great conversation and laughs throughout the tattoo sessions. And the tattoo itself is beautiful! Extremely happy with my back piece! Every time I go into the shop, it feels like my second home. Big thanks, Green Tide team!

Exceptional service from start to finish

Rob's knowledge of Indian tattoo and henna design was really comforting. Loads of time taken to make sure that my tats were designed and positioned to work with the movement of my hands. Super clean environment. An extensive array of artists to choose from, all specialising in various artistic design forms.

Definitely a 5-star experience

From my first email, to my consult and then to finished tattoos within a week. Very impressive customer service and a lovely team of people there. 100% happy with the work done and with the price - very reasonable for great art. Highly recommended.

As a 70-year-old, I am 100% satisfied and thrilled with the result!

I was a little apprehensive, but on the assurance of my grandson who said Rob was the best tattoo artist, I went ahead and had my bee tattoo done. 100% satisfied and thrilled with the result! Rob is amazing, and I would say to anyone of our age bracket, if you want a professional job done, no concerns, take the plunge and contact them!
