Best Tattoo Shops near me in Katesgrove, Reading

We travelled from Cambridge after reading reviews. Honestly couldn’t have had a better experience. My friend had a dermal by Ben and I had. A conch piercing with Eliza, the most friendly, hygienic and knowledgable piercing studio I have been to - week worth the 2.5 hr drive!

No better place in Reading to get a piercing imo 😊 Ben and the front of house staff are great and really helpful for suggestions in new piercings when you say you are looking for something new or different.

The Best! I've been going to Urban Piercings in Reading for 4 years and can heartily recommend them. You will be in good hands.

I learned a long time ago that it’s well worth taking the time to drive the extra distance to Urban Piercings in order to have my piercings done properly. Don’t go to a tattoo artist who has learned piercing on a weekend course and pierces every now and then - go to someone who pierces for a living and knows how to do it properly. And whatever you do, don’t let anyone get near you with a nasty, non-sterile piercing gun!

Ben was fantastic, as always, and I would highly recommend him. I’ve had multiple piercings done by Ben over the past few years, and every experience has been excellent. He is always professional, knowledgeable, and puts you at ease throughout the process.

Brilliant experience, admittedly the septum is the least painful piercing to have but I literally didn't feel ANY pain. Everyone was very welcoming and I felt like Ben was very methodical and careful about his piercing technique and choice of placement.

After getting my lash extensions done the first time, I was really impressed with how long they lasted—I just had to come back! Really appreciate how Marianna took such great care when doing my lashes. The service was so welcoming and quick, and I left feeling confident and absolutely loving my lashes!

Great Left the salon feeling a million dollars Can't wait for the next visit Mariana was very professional and friendly

I've had so many comments on my brows, I'm so pleased and I would recommend Mariana. Everything was explained to me first, I could ask for no more. I'm one very happy customer.

I'm so very happy with my new brows, I've had so many lovely comments, would recommend Mariana she so professional thank you so much.

Powder brows As usual , did not disappoint, so beautifully done. Mariama is always so nice and professional. The treatment room is so clean and well kept. Because I like the way that she works, very particular with detail, she is always honest with me if something is Not going to end up looking it’s best, which I personally appreciate and take on board. as I trust her experience and expertise. Strongly recommended
