Leigh Soulink Tattoos

Leigh Soulink Tattoos is a studio on Albert Road in Woodstock, Cape Town. The reviews here date back three to four years, and they describe a revamped space with several artists working in a range of styles, a relaxed, fun atmosphere and careful guidance for people who are unsure what they want.

What reviewers liked

• Guidance before the tattoo: David found getting tattooed daunting and says Jerry was a legend in the run-up, helping with the design and patiently answering his many questions.
• Cover-ups: Melanie was not sure what she wanted for a cover-up, yet says Jarred understood her and produced a masterpiece.
• Range of artists: Bernard mentions a wide range of styles, and Vera says there were five artists to choose from, each with different interests and price points.
• Leigh herself: Justin recommends Leigh highly.
• Atmosphere: several reviewers praise the vibe, and Melanie describes the studio as clean and fun.

Good to know before you book

Because artists here have had their own specialities and pricing, according to Vera, it is worth looking at who does the style you want and asking for a quote from that artist. David's tattoo healed well within a week, and he credits the pre-appointment conversation for getting the design right, so a chat before booking seems worthwhile. As these reviews are a few years old, check which artists are currently working there before you go.
