DONT GO HERE! I had a small tattoo done here two weeks ago. I knew she was tattooing too deep at the time because it was the most painful tattoo ever (I have 5 others) and was bleeding a lot. Since then it hasn’t healed… parts are raised, parts are craters, its infected, oosey, the ink is cloudy, and the tattoo has bled out all around the lines

Rosie was brilliant emailed back and forth quite a bit to decide on my design, and was very patient even when I changed my mind multiple times. I’d definitely return for another!

I had ¾ of my tattoo’s done here and I absolutely LOVE Happy Sailor.
The studio was clean, and the staff there were lovely!
When I got my first two done, they were really friendly and gave me loads of information about aftercare and told me to come back if there were any problems.
The lady who tattooed me was Eszter and she was really helpful in helping to finalise the designs I wanted, and tweaking them to suit me best.
When I went back to get my third, I was surprised that Eszter remembered me and my tattoos I’d got done by her previously, which made me feel really welcome and the service was even better then.
I would definitely advise getting a tattoo done here, two of my friends back in London have since got tattoo’s at Happy Sailor because I was so full of praise!

A quality establishment with friendly, talented staff for both tattooing and piercing.

The staff here are super friendly (the receptionist is actually the same one who was at Flamin’ 8 when I got my second tatt done there) and will always chat to you while you wait.
Clean and tidy at all times, good music, good magazines to read and they did a great job of my tattoo obviously!
I walked straight in and got mine on a Saturday which was nice as that usually never happens with a tattoo parlour!
I wouldn’t say out of all the parlours I’ve been to it’s the best (so don’t trek across town just to go here) but if your an East Ender then definitely head down and see what they can do for you.

I haven’t been tattooed here (YET) but often pop in to browse the tatt flashes and buy body jewellery.
The studio though small is clean and inoffensive, with a mish-​mash of rockabilly and trinkets from around the world décor. Though if you’re a first timer all the needle magic takes place in full view of the street and people wandering in, so that may be off putting.
I’d recommend the lady tattooist there in particular who is always keen to talk about ink ideas without feeling like you have to commit to going there.

I won’t comment on the tattoos, as I think choosing who you want to do your tattoo, and the style you want is a very personal choice. Pictures on their website. They also do piercing.
The shop though is lovely. Bright pink in a jokey, not fluffy way. Inside it’s nicely decorated, with pictures and ethnic carvings on the wall and a few plants around. Clean without being clinical. They have racks of pictures if you need inspiration for your tattoo: traditional and tribal designs, and lots else.
When I visited both chairs were in use and a friendly debate was going on about what music to play.
(And no, I didn’t get a tattoo maybe one day)
Update: just adding that someone I know who got tattoed here is very happy with the result. Their tattoo looks neatly done to me too.
