Anita Sharma First-Time Client

I knew I wanted my first tattoo and there was only one place I wanted to go! The welcome was incredibly friendly and highly professional. They took the time to give great advice and really understood that every tattoo is personal. I felt completely listened to throughout the entire process.

Elliot Watt Long-Term Client

I have been tattooed by Darryl at Diamond Jacks for a number of years, and he is amazing. Beyond his technical skill, it’s his approach to the work and his mindset that sets him apart. Whether it’s a detailed Japanese piece or something classic, he is a true master of the craft

Zoe Smith Returning Client

A beautiful studio with wonderful people at its core. Everyone is extremely skilled, not just in their artistry but in their kind, patient approach. From the initial design to the final outcome, the team is genuine and engaged. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience

Ida Karlsson Walk-In Client

The staff were amazing and I’m super happy with my tattoo! I just walked in and got a time for the tattoo 30 minutes later for a very fair price. It’s such a cool, chilled-out studio with a proper, original vibe. I’d definitely recommend Diamond Jacks to anyone visiting London

Everything you need to know before getting inked.

It depends on how big and detailed the art is! Small tattoos can be done quickly, but large pieces might take a few hours or even a few different visits to the shop to finish.

Yes! We love to talk about your design ideas first. We offer a free consultation to make sure the artwork is exactly what you want before we start.

Very safe! Your safety is our number one job. We are a fully licensed and insured studio, and we follow strict rules to keep everything super clean and safe for you.

Make sure you eat a good meal and drink plenty of water before you arrive. It’s also smart to wear comfortable clothes that let us reach the spot for your tattoo easily.

Keeping it clean is the most important part. We will give you a list of simple rules and tell you exactly what cream to use so your new art stays bright and heals perfectly.

Of course! We can create custom artwork tailored to each customer’s ideas. You can bring in your own inspiration or browse through our thousands of flash designs to pick something you love. We want to make sure your tattoo is one-of-a-kind and perfect for you.
