A really great group of boys! An easy and fun vibe to get a tattoo. Great work from all of them. They all work together to brainstorm and generate the best work for the client. Would happily recommend the team at 1891 to anyone interested … More in getting their first or 50th tattoo. -

Amazing tattoo place. Highly recommended. Monkey did my tattoo. I gave him a photo what I wanted and he came up and designed a really cool one. He’s very professional and did a really good job on the details of the tattoo. -

Dan is such a wonderful man. He fixed up an old tattoo of mine so that it actually looks like a rose now and I absolutely love it! He worked out how to get the exact colours I wanted. He did a marvellous job and I’m so incredibly grateful … More to him for his kindness and understanding 💙 -

Got my ink today and it was perfectly done! Morgue was my artist, he is really awesome! Aside from being friendly and accommodating, his strokes is fully detailed and gentle! I am very much happy with his work. 👌 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
