Wolf & Wren Tattoo Collective

My experience with Wolf & Wren has been awful. I sent through my ideas for a large chest piece through messenger and was told to book in with Aykan for a consult. I came to the consult, and Aykan was very pushy to book me into a tattoo while only promising to send a design through for approval two days prior to the tattoo appointment. After some back and forth, he agreed for a deposit to be put down for a design first. I feel like we spoke at length on what I wanted, but when the design came through 2 weeks later, it looked like something he'd thrown together in about 15 minutes with no ideas from the original photos and requests I had made. I emailed him back immediately and was ghosted for 2 weeks before I contacted the shop directly. I had to contact the shop twice over 4 days before Aykan finally acknowledged and emailed me back, and his response wasn't apologetic at all for not getting back to me, but throwing excuses as to why he couldn't spend 5 seconds to acknowledge my concerns with the piece he had drawn up. He then asked for further pictures of what I wanted (which I had already provided) and more detail (which I thought we had covered in our 45 minute consult in the shop). I contacted the shop a few weeks later after considering weather I wanted to be tattoo'd by them/Aykan and asked for my deposit back considering everything that had transpired only to be left on read. I wouldn't recommend this shop.

From the get-go this was a great experience. The staff at the front desk are all super chill and welcoming, and explained the whole process. The studio is bright and full of personality and my tattoo artist Sophia brought an amazing attitude that immediately puts people at ease. She was an absolute legend and made a beautiful custom piece that went beyond what I expected.

Love, love, love my new tattoo! ❤️ It was a memorial for my Dad i lost 6 weeks ago 💔 Got a great vibe straight away from Will at reception, what a gem! My artist Nish did such a beautiful job, i really felt she wanted it to be special for me, she's so lovely 💓 and talented! I'm already thinking about what I want done next and spreading the word 'in the hills' about Wolf & Wren! Thanks Nish, thanks Will 🌟 xx

So happy with Wolf & Wren! I've had two tattoos done by Matt, and he's an absolute professional - one has healed up perfectly and the the other, more recent, is well on its way. Beautiful clean lines. I was really impressed with how clean and welcoming the studio is, I love all the art Matt has up on the walls! I also want to highlight how fantastic the woman at the front desk is - I think Carly is her name? She was incredibly welcoming, kind, and patient, and really made me feel very confident and comfortable, especially with my first tattoo while I was quite nervous. Incredibly happy with Wolf & Wren, I'll very happily come back here for more beautifully done tattoos.
