Style Ink Tattoos

Style Ink Tattoos is a tattoo shop on Farrar Street in Northmead, Benoni. Reviewers say it does tattoos and piercings, and Dave adds that hair is on offer as well. The common thread is a warm welcome: many of the reviews focus on how at home the team makes people feel.

What reviewers liked

Hospitality comes up more than anything else. Mbali, Moshe and Danika all mention how welcoming and supportive the team is, and Casey says they make you feel at home. Tinotenda went further, saying the trip to South Africa was made specifically for this studio, and described the owner and artists as genuine people.

For tattoos, Andre praised Kelvin's work, and Dave gave a shout-out to Frank and rated the talent highly. Jason simply called the artists amazing.

Piercing clients are just as positive. Bianca had a hidden helix done by Clayton, who explained the piercing, the jewellery that suits it and the aftercare needed. Luné had ear piercings done quickly and said staff checked she was happy before she left, and Casey found the piercer gentle and quick.

Good to know before you book

• Pricing gets positive mentions. Andre and David both said they were happy with what they paid, though neither gives figures, so ask for a quote.
• For a new piercing, Bianca's experience suggests you can expect a proper explanation of jewellery options and aftercare, so use that moment to ask questions.
• Ear piercings can be quick: Luné was in and out in a short time.
• Andre also enjoyed the music during his session.
• None of the reviews raise complaints.
