We lost my grandad and I really wanted a tribute message. I got in contact and asked if accepted walk ins and they managed to fit me in, from the convo on fb to when I went to the shop the feel was very friendly and welcoming.

The shop is lovely and clean and you instantly get made to feel at home. I was luck enough to have the boss Barry as he finished with his client early. He made sure I was happy with the font and included me in the designing from the beginning.

When I went up to to the studio everyone was again really friendly and made me feel welcome. We spent the whole time chatting and id barely noticed the tattoo! Then when I went back downstairs to pay, the boss lady gave me some brilliant care advice and she also had time to explain what I needed to do and use on it.

I would definitely recommend and wouldn't rule out going back for another one ;-)

Thank you x

The team as a whole was amazing all very helpful and welcoming. My tattoo artist was Jodie she done a brilliant job Much better than I thought I would be. We started with two roses and she free handed the rest of shading around my kids names. Every one I show say that it’s a brilliant piece. Very talented artist and highly recommended.

Thank you so much to Beki for doing my wolf/ flower tattoo.

I wanted this done as a tribute to my dad who loved wolfs and was a gardener.

Beki you was so lovely from start to finish, I am over the moon with my new tattoo, you did exactly what i wanted, your work is amazing.

A very talented lady and I will be back to see you for my next one.

I’ve had 3 tattoos done at Basement 13 now, and will be going back for more in the future. All of the tattoos I wanted and had have been done to high level by Beki, she took great care and attention and listened to everything I asked, which resulted in exactly what I envisioned and more, every time. With all of them meaning a great deal to me, I knew I was in good hands.



The staff are all friendly, and there’s a nice atmosphere in the studio, so when you are being tattooed nothing feels awkward, you feel involved and people are talking to you throughout which makes the process a lot nicer. I have, and will continue to recommend my friends come here. �

Ive had all 4 of my tattoos done here and i love every one of them. They are a great team and i wpuld highly recommend them to anyone.

I've had 4 full day sessions now with beki and couldn't be happier. I look forward to each session and to say i have a laugh is an understatement. All the staff are awesome and their work is above and beyond. Looking forward to my next session. Xxx

I'm a very anxious person and find walking into these places really hard. As soon as I arrived I was met by a friendly team who where also quite witty. They all put my mind at ease especially the girl who did my tattoo who was so lovely and did a fantastic job.

I haven't had my tatoo yet but it's booked in for a week's time however based on the initial meeting I'm so happy and confident. I had gone to another studio in h.w but they appeared completely disinterested and bored. I was given no advice or made to feel confident in their ability. Yet as soon as I walked into basement 13 I was welcomed and great advice given as to how and where the tatoo could go. Really excited about next week and I'm sure I won't be disappointed.....

I had a tattoo done today by Josh. Everything from start to finish was very professional. He was always checking I was ok, and gave great aftercare advice. I would recommend anyone wanting a tattoo, to pop in and see the guys at Basement 13. It won’t be long before I book my next one.

Haven’t even had my tattoo done yet, ink day is tomorrow but I had to write a pre tattoo review! I have to say after a very unpleasant experience at another local tattoo studio I was rather disheartened..... but when I walked into this studio it was a completely different story!!! Chez was so welcoming and professional she put me at ease straight away and really took the time to go trough all the tiny details of what I was wanting in my tattoo she advised me of the tattoo artist she thought would be best for me and then I was introduced to her as well. Beki like Chez was brilliant and wrote everything down and I am now booked in for tomorrow.... Eeekkkkkk CAN’T WAIT!!! �

Have had 2 cover up' s so far from Beki and love them. She is so friendly and a talented artist. The shop has a great atmosphere and is always a pleasure to visit and I will be booking a few more. Thanks again guys as your doing a great job �

Had my first tattoo with Beki a few months back, was so kind and patient with me and did an awesome job. Super friendly staff and relaxed environment - will be back for another for sure ���

Had a foot tattoo done with Beki this afternoon. Really love it.

I've never felt more welcome by everyone and Beki put me at ease straight away. Amazing and talented young lady.

Amazing work by Barry Nichol, total trust in the work he is doing on me which will consist of 2 full sleeves and complete back piece. One sleeve nearly complete and so happy, amazing original artist in a lovely relaxed and clean studio

All of my tattoos have been so far done at basement 13. By the lovely Beki who is amazing at what she does. I cannot reccomend her enough. The whole experience was perfect and I felt very welcomed. I look forward to many more visits!

Absolutely superb! Chez managed to squeeze me in for a last minute tattoo due to what it was for. Got a nice simple S for my cousin who sadly passed away. Josh was fantastic as were all the staff. Would definitely come back and highly recommend! Thanks! :D

A massive thank you to Beki who done my tattoo for me on Monday. I'm absolutely love it!!

Beki done a great job to make sure everything was perfect for me right from the start as it was very personal to me. 5 stars isn't enough!!!

A massive thank you to Beki for doing my 2 bow tattoos today, you were amazing from start to finish. They look amazing I love them. You we're patient and talked me through everything you were doing also checking that I was ok. The rest of the team were great to with cups of tea and biscuits for a sugar rush, lots of laughs felt so relaxed and at ease. Can't recommend you enough found my new tattoo parlour and I will be back. Thank you so much Beki
