A brilliant experience for my first tattoo! A great place and a brilliant person who really listened to our ideas! I loved it and would recommend it to anyone wanting to get a tattoo in Cape Town

Emilia is such an amazing artist. She takes so much attention to detail and is so easy to connect with and talk to. I have already gotten so many compliments on the tattoo she did for me. She is amazing and if I am ever back in Cape Town I will be getting another piece from her!

Fantastic Tattoo artist, it was my clvery fist tattoo and was quick and painless and came out exactly as i wanted it. The Tattoo artist really has a good eye for positioning and size and just an amazing talent for tattooing Will definitely be go back to get more work done with her.So so happy with the whole experience and end result.

Emilia is very welcoming and a fantastic tattoo artist. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is that your studio doesnt look like the pics, which is not good for business. The studio is not as tidy or open as suggested. I think its fair that people know what to expect and that they have arrived at the correct place. I couldn't find the studio easily as I didnt see any signs - that might be helpful. But these are marketing issues, not tattoo issues. Tattoo looks exquisite and is healing beautifully. Thank you.

Amazing tattoo. Amazing tattoo artist. Couldn’t have been any better

Austin was amazing !!!! Top Notch tattoo artist!!!!! We got quotes while in the USA , price , art and time was all organized as promised . Highly recommend…

Very very happy with my Tattoo and Emilia is such a nice person. Definitely coming back when I'm back in Capetown!!

Amazing vibe, great banter and those tattoo lines were perfection!

Emilia is such an incredible artist and wonderful human being. I came in for a memorial tattoo and she was so kind and empathetic. I love my tattoo SO MUCH! Thank you, thank you, thank you lovely Emilia.

The artist was refreshing to be around, and the work itself was clean and neat. Everything was a breeze, from booking the appointment to actually getting the tattoo. I'd definitely go back to get another one - love it!

Emilia is an absolute legend. Her fine line art left me speechless! First tattoo was done by her and it's safe to say that I will be coming back for more

Excellent experience!! Was my first tattoo and Emilia was highly professional and friendly. Will 100% be back.

Once again, my second experience with Emilia at Sally Mustang Tattoos has absolutely confirmed it for me — she is one of the best tattoo artists I’ve ever worked with. She has an exceptional eye, an instinctive understanding of colour, and a rare ability to see what you’re trying to express, even before you fully have the words for it. I’ve been incredibly lucky to have my second tattoo done by Emilia, and honestly, no one else will ever tattoo me again. I’m already so excited to start planning my third — and probably biggest — piece with her, centred around my animals and everything they re

It was an amazing experience. The environment is clean, cozy and the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. Emilia knew exactly how to illustrate my ideas into art and she did such an amazing job on my tattoo. Absolutely cannot wait for the next one!

Emilia did my first tattoo. She made me feel so calm and relaxed I really didn't even feel it was happening. The studio itself was great with admin and I didn't have to wait for responses when booking. I would highly recommend this studio for anyone starting their body ink journey

Got my first tattoo there and was absolutely thrilled! Exceeded all my expectations! :)

Got to meet BB and of course see Emilia again after getting my tattoo in JHB. Always a smile and professional. So enjoy my time there. Thanks x

10/10. It was a great experience, we loved the atmosphere and Emilia was extremely friendly and patient with us.

Great service, great artist (Emilia), very thorough, would always come again. Thanks !

Couldn’t have asked for better. Emilia did an incredible job and the whole team was so welcoming. 10/10 will recommend.

An incredible place! The studio is ultra cozy and pleasant — you feel right at home there! And what talent, Emilia 😍 We came so my husband and I could get engraved these magical memories from our trip to South Africa. Now we have this country we fell in love with etched into our skin in the most beautiful way.

Amazing experience and Emilias work is perfect. My hubby and I are over the moon with our tattoos

Excellent artist, big eye for detail and very impressive fine line work. Kind and welcoming, we will defintely be coming back!

I will definitely be back 🙂❤️

All I can say is WOW!!!!! Emilia really took my piece and made it her own, the details the lines just speaks to her style and flair. And the final result is beautiful she is really gentle and makes you feel taken care off! 11 out 10! I love her work Cant wait to be back for the next piece!

Excellent
