Best Tattoo Shops near me in Bridgend

My 2nd visit to the Bridgend studio, after, through my own fault, my earring front fell out and got lost, Leah came to the rescue and replaced it for me, in record time. She was so lovely and extremely professional, and my earring was replaced in no time at all. She was also able to answer any questions I had about preventing what happened, from happening again, lets just say I need to learn my left turn from my right turn haha, the way I described the process of tightening the earring, to get it clarified, would have you in stitches lol, but at least now, I know I won't get it wrong lol 🤞🙏

Well, where do I start. This was my very 1st time, having my ears pierced with Empress Piercing, Bridgend. Due to illness of my original piercer, Tia, I had Tom from the Cwmbran studio come down to cover her. I was very nervous, having not had piercings done with a needle before, but I needn't have worried. Tom put me right at ease, explained the process thoroughly, and answered all questions throughout, he was so caring and such a laugh, the process was next to painless, with only a slight pinch as the needle went in. I loved the earrings, which Tom helped me pick, and can't thank Tom enough

Brilliant service. Ricky is fantastic, very gentle and reassuring. He knows his stuff, has completed years of training and is constantly investing in beautiful high quality jewellery. You won’t find anywhere better in south wales. He’s a dude!!!

Had the best experience getting my lip blush tattoo with Misha at The Coven! She’s so knowledgeable and made the whole process completely pain-free. I was honestly surprised by how comfortable it was. She took the time to mix colours and match the exact shade I wanted from my reference photo, and the result is so natural and perfect. I’m beyond happy with how it turned out and so impressed with her skill. If you’re thinking about lip blush, I can’t recommend Misha enough!

Always an amazing experience with Empress piercing Bridgend

Got my third lobes done today! I was weirdly nervous but Ricki put me at ease straight away. This was my third time getting pierced at Piercing Co. It is the best place I’ve ever been pierced, having gone to chains and small studios alike across Bridgend, Cardiff and Bristol. Ricki just knows what he’s doing and you can just see that he’s a master of his craft. I have full faith in him to do a great job every time, highly recommend, thanks Ricki!!

After a lot of research of finding an expert in microblading, it has been we'll worth the wait. My eyebrows were complicated as I've previously had a mixture of tattoo and microblading, so really needed an experienced technician. Absolutely love my new brows❤️ highest recommendation.

An amazing and lovely experience having my tattoos done with Misha, she was so lovely and I absolutely love them so much 💕 thank you so much x

It was my first tattoo and I couldn’t have asked for anymore. Charlotte was so amazing. She was so lovely, talked through everything. She made sure I was okay during the process. Talked me through the aftercare and made sure I understood everything. I will 100% be coming back! Thank you so much, the tattoo is gorgeous and I love it😊

Its been about 19 years since I had a piercing so I i was very picky with who I went with. I came across Empress Piercing Bridgend who have amazing reviews. Although I had decided on Empress Piercing being the place, I then had to decide who would be the right person to pierce my nose. After some research and reading amazing reviews, Tia had to be the one for me. Tia welcomed me into the shop with a smile and made me feel relaxed. She explained the process and advised me on where the best place was for the piercing. Before I knew it, my nose was pierced. Thank you, Tia, i appreciate you!

Great experience. I had venom piercings and it was so quick and easy!! Very informational, very friendly and all in all good place to go. Highly recommend 😁

I found the whole experience starting with Kayleigh who was so friendly , welcoming and knowledgable . She put me totally at ease whilst discussing my brows. Jade was exemplary in her role. She is a total artist and she blew me away with how amazing she made my brows look. She is so friendly , thoughtful , kind and professional in every area. I felt very looked after , very listened to , and very comfortable throughout the whole process. The nanoblading itself was totally painless ! I had previously had microblading which was very painful despite numbing cream. I am totally over the moon. ❤️

Second visit to Empress Bridgend today. Tia is fab and so helpful. Can’t wait til next time

The team in Bridgend were absolutely amazing. I had such a friendly welcome as soon as I set foot through the door. Tom was really clear when he explained my piercing and made me feel calm and relaxed the whole way through. It didn’t hurt at all and I absolutely love my new rook piercing. Thank you!
