Southside Tattoo Collective

Ellie was absolutely fantastic, put me at ease as it was my first tattoo. Explained the procedure to me and the aftercare. Very clean and sterile and well recommended.

Clean sterile environment, good tattooing skills by Ben

Had a sleeve started by Ryan lord. Great tattooist. Terrible person.... said he was commited to the design.. cancelled appointments as forgot to put in diary.. then cancells on the day of re appointment to say he isnt into it anymore. Disgusting service. And now need to find someone else to complete.

If your a novice when it comes to getting tattooed then I would really recommend Chakra Tattoo Lounge. Irrespective of the amount of online research you do prior to getting a tattoo nothing can prepare you for the experience.I explained to Chay that I was nervous however this did not phase him at all, Chay explained the process to me and how it would work - making me feel at ease and rest assured.Unlike many other tattooist the environment at Charka is much more relaxed and so I felt it very easy going, Chay was very pleasant about the whole process, allowing me to take a couple of minutes in between heavy line drawing and shading.Overall I was very pleased with my visit. The kind, conscientious members of staff, the premises itself on a ambience and hygiene level and the tattoo itself.Thanks again!

Chay did a brilliant job of my forearm tattoo today. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Was in for 2 days with Ben, first tattoo I’d ever had and couldn’t have picked a better person for it. Made me feel at ease and was an absolute pleasure to chat to, the whole experience was amazing from start to finish. Not to mention the fact he’s an incredible artist, I travelled 3 hours to get there but I’d have done double that if needed. Could not recommend him more.
