My first time visiting No Bad Days, I got a tattoo from Lee, the experience was great from start to finish. I felt at ease the whole time and Lee made the experience as comfortable as possible. It really makes a difference when the environment is this good. Thank you Lee.Posted on Google Jonnie MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience from the warm welcome when I entered the premises right up till I left. Felt valued and was not rushed out the door. Perfection 100% Felt brand new when I left 🙂 ✨️ 👌🏻Posted on Google Emily SuttonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Started my sleeve tattoo with Lee today, love Lee’s space! It’s so clean and professional! Love Lee’s work, great experience for getting tattooed!Posted on Google Chris LewisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish, my experience at No Bad Days was outstanding. I felt completely comfortable and genuinely valued as a customer. Connor took the time to explain each step clearly, which made the whole process feel effortless and reassuring. The conversation flowed naturally, and Connor allowed me to set the tone, which I really appreciated. On top of that, the advice I received about achieving the beard growth I’m aiming for was spot-on and incredibly helpful. Booking was simple, with clear reminders and expectations throughout. All in all, I couldn’t be happier with the service! I'm glad I got the recommendation to visit. I was a little nervous as I was worried I wouldn't fit in, but thankfully I fit in just fine!Posted on Google Joseph JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
