I came in with two helix piercings that had been done incorrectly at a different studio over a year ago and just would not heal. Charlie took the time to properly assess them and suggested switching to a different jewellery shape to encourage healing, and it’s already made a huge difference. My piercings are looking much healthier now, and the swelling is finally going down. I also got two new helix piercings and a lobe piercing done, all of which are feeling and looking great, and had an old eyebrow piercing upsized to accommodate standard jewellery.
This team was remarkable. My husband and I were visiting from the US and we wanted a Scottish tattoo as a souvenir. We were in great communication weeks in advance, I had many questions and Kamil was sooo patient, informative and very timely with me. He made the process feel so smooth. I have been to many tattoo shops and this one took the prize. When we arrived in Edinburgh we visited the shop a few days before appointment to meet and greet. I ended up getting a piercing. Wojtek was on point with aseptic technique, he calmed my nerves, explained everything and did beautiful placement. Meeting Peter was great, I placed my trust in his artistic skill to bring my idea to a souvenir I will LOVE, and he delivered. He explained his process and set up, what to expect, what his plan was. Peter has a fantastic gentle hand, I almost fell asleep , when he would hit my nerve spots, he knew exactly how to manage my muscle spasm. When Peter finished and I saw my piece I was in awe.... he exceeded my expectations, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE MY PIECE..... thank you to the team, we walked in as clients and left feeling like family. We will definitely be back....
Absolutely loved this place!! We were in Edinburgh and my dad and I wanted to get a tattoo to remember a family member who passed away, I rang them the day before, sent on the designs and they arranged for us to be in in the morning. Everyone was so lovely, the tattoo artists are absolutely amazing and very skilled. They talked us through it all, made us all very comfortable and most importantly were really accommodating and friendly. Especially to my mum who was sitting waiting for us. The studio is also very clean which I also liked. @Young.goat.ink was our tattoo artist and was exceptional, would definitely recommend!!! Next time I’m in Edinburgh I would definitely go back! Thank you for the lovely tattoos!!
Amazing shop with serious skill and talent. Peter was Fun and professional and love his work! They fit my wife and I in on a walk in session for both of us. Absolutely love what we got and the highest quality of work. 100 would go back in a heartbeat.
What a gem of a find - I won’t go anywhere else for my tattoos for now! Freya has done 4 tattoos for me so far and I can’t wait for the next addition. The vibe in here is super relaxed with plenty of space between artists so it doesn’t feel crowded. Freya has been absolutely excellent with the designs she’s created for me. My husband has also started coming to Absolute and has been tattooed by both Freya and Lea and won’t go anywhere else now.
