"A big thank you to Alex Boca and Alex Prenta for my fantastic geometric style torso tattoo completed in 3 days back to back with both artists working at the same time  this is by far one of the best studios in Manchester."

"Kelly was amazing, so reassuring after a previous negative with laser. She was extremely caring and followed all hygiene procedures, detailing the importance of aftercare. She checked in with me to make sure everything was ok after each session. I would recommend her in a heart beat along with Tibor who did my cover up after 4 sessions with Kelly. Thanks again guys."

Testimonials

Trusted by clients, built by artists.

"Best tattoo shop this side of Manchester. The attention to detail in each tattoo is awesome. They are so professional in the way they treat you, offering refreshments the minute you walk in. Lovely atmosphere, great people, lovely parlour; they also remove tattoos. But all in all, a fantastic place to get a tattoo. Four or five people are available by appointment only; I don't think they do walk-ins." 

Alan Green

"Amazing tattoo, jozsef is an amazing artist and top man. The studio manager is really helpful, replying to enquiries promptly.(and she makes a great brew, I even got biscuits!) I had a cover up and you can't tell what was there before, I'm very happy. His ideas and skills helped me decide what to have.
I'm back again in November for some more work. I 100% recommend North of Winter and Jozsef."
