No Regrets Studios Avis 

Me and my best friend were on a girls trip to Bristol and decided to book to have matching tattoos together in May of this year to celebrate 20 years of friendship and us both turning 40. In all fairness the studio was amazing at booking us in at short notice and able to give us what we wanted which was fabulous, the studio was clean and the tattoo artist very professional, I specifically chose this tattoo studio due to the great reviews to make sure we had a good experience, so I can’t really fault it up until the point of payment - we were charged £160 each for an infinity symbol and the word “sisters” the whole thing measuring around 10cm in black ink only - that’s £320 for two small tattoos - we paid this money thinking that was the going rate, we were told to pay in cash with the receptionist taking full payment from us and putting it in her apron even before a needle touched skin. However we gave them the benefit of the doubt and we left happily with our new tattoos, forward a few months and we have since learned from several friends with tattoos and several other tattoo establishments that this is absolutely not the going rate and that we were considerably ripped off. We think this is because we were a last minute booking, two women who were not used to the area with cash on the hip. I feel like they “saw us coming” and now, what was a nice experience for me and my best friend has now turned into a bit of a disappointment. When I think about it £160 each is really steep - we couldn’t have been in there for more than 45 mins, I would say before using this studio, do your research and make sure you’re paying a fair price. We were unfortunately naive to the cost of a tattoo and I think they may have taken advantage of this.

I got my tattoo from Amir about 9 months ago at the Bristol branch. I clearly asked Amir if he could finish the tattoo in one session, He very confidently answered 'Yes'. If he had said 'No'
I would've gone to a different tattoo artist at a different tattoo shop.

He was supposed to start my tattoo session at 10am, but he arrived approximately 45 minutes late, so the session started at 11am.

When I first saw my tattoo draft, I didn't like it, so I immediately told him that I don't like the design. then, his facial expression suddenly changed, like he was squeezing his face. later, he said, 'It will look fine when finished.' It was my fault that I fell for it.

In the middle of the tattoo session, a female staff member (I think her name is Rosie, the one I talked with via email) abruptly appeared with a threatening expression and asked for money for the tattoo RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SESSION.
I thought taking cash for a tattoo right in the middle of the session was normal in the UK, but my friends, who got tattoos at different shops, said it is not normal. Usually, tattoo artists take money after finishing the tattoos.

They definitely take money during tattoo sessions to prevent clients from requesting refunds or a reduction in payment when their tattoo artists make mistakes or mess up a tattoo. They also do not offer partial refunds when something goes wrong. Instead, they only offer to fix the tattoo, which practically proves that this is the reason they collect money during tattoo sessions, as if they are debt collectors.

Amir constantly answered his wife's phone calls, about 5 times, and was on the phone for around an hour while he was tattooing me. He looked extremely tired, and I could see he was trying to finish my tattoo in one session, just as he had confidently promised he could without any hesitation.

It was around 8 pm, and he couldn't finish my tattoo. He left some red marks on my forearm, which contain tattoo ink, so they won't fade naturally.

He suggested that I book another session to finish my tattoo, but he said 'You will have to pay for it'.
and He even forgot to take a picture of my tattoo.
The triangle tattoos he's done are not straight and have varying levels of thickness. He promised that he could fill my forearm with some leaves and smoke, but my forearm is still kind of empty
the incompetence speaks for itself in the tattoo.

I really want to attach pictures of the marks he left unprofessionally and the conversation with the employee who's just busy defending the situation and trying to accuse me of simply changing my mind and unreasonably requesting a partial refund, but I can't share any pictures here, there's no function for that.

She offered a free tattoo session, and I initially agreed, but I had to postpone the offer because I had personal commitments.
Thank god it was the best choice. I don't even want a free session from you guys.

1. You can't get any refund or negotiate
2. You're very lucky if you have successful experience with that brand.
3. No negotiation is allowed, except for receiving a free session.
4. You have to pay for your tattoo session during the tattoo session, regardless of which branch you are at. doesn't that sound suspicious?
5. Results can vary depending on which tattoo artist you get.

I got successful tattoos from Willian (he apparently went back to his country) at the No Regrets London branch before I experienced this bad situation. so basically, if you find a nice tattoo artist who you can trust 100%, go for it. Otherwise don't use the 'no regrets' brand because you won't get any compensation if something goes wrong with your tattoo. my friends got nice tattoos at different tattoo shops. and the tattoo artists there never took money during the sessions.

tattoo artists who work for the brand and the No Regrets brand itself post nice tattoo work (I believe they edit their work to look better) on social media. but remember, they don't post messed up tattoo works. that being said, don't expect your tattoo to be as high quality as those posted on social media.
and if they mess up your tattoo?
No refund or No reduction in your payment.

I wouldn't have used the No Regrets brand in the first place if I had known that taking money during a session is not normal.
Not 'no regrets' for their clients, just 'no regrets' for themselves.

I went to the Worcester branch to get a tattoo. I had a couple of idea and Zoya made it come to life!
Not only was her talent amazing apparent. She was kind and so helpful.
I couldn't compliment her more
The studio was super chill and accommodating

Went to the new Worcester studio a hour drive not even a offer of a drink has what’s app the artist or so she claimed got there nothing done

No real interest more into checking her phone and smoke / dinner breaks and making calls definitely get the money and go from

The tattoo was terrible certainly the worst I’ve ever had and I have had 350 plus hours of tattoos

Sent pics she couldn’t see issue tried contact the owner no contact of him or anyone

Finally I contacted the Cheltenham branch drive there and they agreed had a full day sitting to try sort it out agreed the artist tried his best to sort it but he said and agreed it was a bodge of a tattoo

Overall be very careful of which artist you use

Perhaps rather than opening multiple sites sort out the existing studios Ben ?

I’d used the Bristol shop and could not praise it enough hence I went to Worcester I’ve got to say avoid it terrible service

Had a fabulous fine line tattoo with Knem. He made me feel so relaxed and reassured. He designed what I wanted and delivered an incredible result. I’m thrilled.

Amazing design and experience in no regrets Bristol. Amir is just an amazing artist and a really nice guy. Half way through my sleeve and can’t wait for my next appointment!! Thank you Amir and No regrets.

A very professional experience from beginning to end. So so happy with the resulting tattoo. Will be back again 😀

What an experience! It was a lovely environment but realistically it comes down to the artist and Alya was amazing. It took two days back to back and without her kindness it would of been a struggle. I now have a stunning tattoo that I will love forever.

Bako, wow...what an amazing artist. I would highly recommend no regrets bristol, all if the staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. Already booked to go back

I had a tattoo last Thursday with Felipe, first tattoo absolutely lovely Felipe design was fantastic so pleased. He was such a lovely guy so gentle and kind always checking I was ok. Would definitely recommend him.
Thank you Felipe you are a great tattooist

Amazing experience at the new No regrets studio in Manchester with Thuani. I have had a few tattoos so knew what I wanted and I sent over Designs of what I wanted including and Thuani absolutely smashed it. Such a lovely friendly studio Thank you

Staff very friendly, Churchill is a very talented, modest guy. My coverup was very well done & will be returning for more work

Genuinely can't recommend NR Exeter and in particular Churchill, highly enough. On the initial meeting I was made to feel extremely welcome by the NR team and Churchill. He listened to my ideas and created an outstanding design that far exceeded my expectations.

48 hours before my first appointment, I was sent details on what to expect and advice on how to prepare properly. I was a bit nervous on the day (it was my first tattoo and I had gone for a three quarter sleeve) but Churchill was very reassuring and talked me through what was happening and when. The design was revealed on the day and Chruchill was open to suggestions - although I didn't need any!

The tattoo itself didn't hurt as much as I thought it might and the NR team were always up offering drinks to help keep sugar levels up.

Personally, I think Churchill is a complete genius and anyone wanting a tattoo requiring realism should go with him. I had three sessions in all and each one was fun and relaxed. I'm absolutely delighted with the end result and as it was such a good experience, I'm already planning to return next year to add a few bits to the sleeve. 100% recommend, don't look anywhere else!

Athena was just wonderful. She did my first tattoo and did two further tattoos for me yesterday. She’s attentive and made the whole experience easy. Highly recommend!

I was lucky enough to be able to book in with Flavia Verda for a 3/4 sleeve project while here as an international student. The process has been both professional and fun. The consult was detailed and the small revisions the day of the first session and attention to stencil placement and then the tattooing has made me a very happy customer. The parlor is stunning overall, and it is so clean and airy that it makes the process a breeze. Everyone is great and I am so happy to have choosen the place I did and trusting Flavia with this big project.

I went to No Regrets Bristol with an idea in my head which i had toyed with for a while spoke with Loiz and ended up a fantastic tattoo design that I'm really happy with. Löiz was great with different suggestions and ideas, and the end design she made was excellent - The shading is still to come but after the line work i feel very happy it will go well

Felipe at Bristol No Regrets is incredible. A true artist and collaborator. He worked to make my tattoo even better than I could have imagined. It was not an easy task as it was a unique and personal design. I couldn't be happier with the whole experience and outcome.

Went to the Bristol studio for a flash I had booked with Vinicius. I fell in love with the design at a tattoo convention, and we had already discussed size and placement.

He reconfirmed everything with me on the day, and for every change, even small, I got to check and confirm I was happy. Since we went a bit bigger than the original drawing intended, he spent a little bit of time adding more details to it, before any stencil or ink.

If you looked them up you probably know they are cash only. I was aware of this at the time of booking and had several reminders before my appointment.

I am absolutely delighted with my tattoo! Vinicius is an incredible artist and I am proud to wear this piece on my skin.

Great studio with brilliant artists and very lovely staff. Will definitely going back again and my very big bow to bzzyk- you are truly amazing artist and massive thank you

I haven’t had a tattoo is over 10 years and this was a coverup of an old image so I was feeling a little nervous to say the least !
However, I can’t praise No Regret enough. They were both very friendly and professional.
I went to the Cheltenham branch and was greeted by Meg on reception with a big smile and lots of reassurance.
My artwork was completed by Anton who was attentive and very talented. His workstation was very clean and professional.
Couldn’t recommend them high enough and already planning my next one.
