As a ‘mature’ tattoo virgin, this was unknown territory for me, but Clare and her assistant made the process of getting my first Tattoo a real pleasure. From the design, application (which wasn’t exactly painful) to aftercare, I’m really delighted with the result. So much so, I don’t think I can ever wear long trousers again!

I was incredibly nervous for my tattoo but as soon as I walked into Hi Hopes the staff instantly put me at ease . The shop is very clean organised and beautifully decorated . Throughout my tattoo Claire (tattooist) was chatty and made sure I was ok and felt comfortable there is a smalll tv infront of you for a great distraction . Kim (receptionist ) popped in to have a blether and make sure we were all good . It was overall the best experience I've ever had . Claire is an exceptional tattoo artist her eye for detail and care she takes makes the time fly . I was in for 3 -1/2 hours but it did not feel that long . I cannot wait to go back cannot recommend Hi Hopes enough .

Happy to recommend Clare. Delighted with my new addition. Clare is really sweet and good at what she does. She gave different ideas for a better result
