Apparently there's a studio called INK that's pretty good. I can't find a website for it, but there's some reviews here.

Obviously the best thing to do is to go check out their portfolio when you're actually in Exeter.

I'm hoping they're good, cause I really want to get my next one. But if there's nowhere decent, I'm just gonna have to wait til I go back home at Christmas.

Try blue banana, I've been in there with a friend to get a piercing, and they've got a tattoo room with loads of work samples on the walls, looks pretty good. Worth a look.

I would say give Paul and Lyn's a miss. It's not the worst I've ever seen, but the line work in this design is poor enough to put me off even visiting them! Studio itself doesn't exactly promote confidence either...

I wouldn't touch Paul and Lyn's with a ten-foot pole, and I have heard bad things about Blue Banana in the past.

I haven't been in Ink, but it does look interesting and I may wander in there sometime soon and take a look. I've tended to go to Hidden Jewel on Fore Street, and they've always done a good job.

Been with two of my friends to the one down mount pleasant road. It's ok but my friend claims one of her tattoos is wonky. I don't see it but thought i'd put it out there :smile:

Chris is awful, he was extremely rude to me and my friend. It's put me off blue banana entirely now

Never ever go to Blue Bannana for a tattoo, (i did and its not very good quality at all, the lines far to deep, and the colour is not completely filled in) its like going clares accessories for a septum piecing. They both have their places on the high street, but a tattoo is not a high street fashion item. INK, artium, covered are al good. I go to Plymouth for mine every time to Attica Tattoo studio, and see a guy called Steve, cant remember his surname off hand (typical) but he's great and on facebook. Atica studio are also on facebok and have a website. Best advice is look through their portfolio, if its old and tatty they are not doing anything new which is of note, and get them to sketch an idea of what they would do. This should be free, if it isnt then they are not an atists parlour, just money making gimmick. good luck on your hunt.

I would only go to BB if it is a simple and probably quite popular design. Never ever for bespoke artwork. I have been to them before cant fault the customer service, but my tattoo (which on reflection is a very simple design) is poor! Linewrk too deep, colour incomplete with bits of my skin still showing. Ths was done 4 years ago.
