Oliver Whiting

I had a fantastic experience with Oli; he is a talented, patient and detail-oriented tattoo artist. I’d strongly recommend him. He came up with a great design to expand upon an existing tattoo which needed more ink. On top of this the environment he works in is really nice, and the other staff are equally as friendly.

Got my first tattoo from Oliver — his line work looked great online and he explained the process well beforehand. The tattoo turned out fine (slight wobble on the upper curve, but nothing major). The problem was during payment. He upped the price from the original quote because it took longer, which I agreed to. As a total newbie, I casually asked about £20 off — didn’t know that was a faux pas. The receptionist kindly explained, and I appreciated the heads-up. Oliver, on the other hand, called me rude and a “pain in the a**,” which felt way out of line, especially for a first-timer just asking a question. Still paid the full (increased) amount — even tipped extra. Hopefully, he’s a bit more understanding with the next person.
