Tattoo studios are definitely improving these days. Gone are the times of seedy back rooms smelling of blood sweat and tears (thank goodness!) and blasting out Sabbath riffs on 11 on the stereo while the customer is trying to relax.

Nowadays there’s a whole new breed of studios that are super-clean, friendly and make the customer feel relaxed before getting inked.

Timebomb tattoo croydon is one such example. Probably the cleanest studio i’ve had the pleasure of checking out, Ultra-friendly tattooists and receptionist (yes! the artists actually came out to chat to me:)) and amazing artwork.

They’ve got 3 house artists, all of whom have different styles – from old school / traditional tattoos, through to incredible portraits (Check out Jacob’s work), Full colour Japanese sleeves, New School cartoon-style, plus of course tribal and celtic designs.

Go and have a chat to these guys, you won’t be disappointed.
