Inkedbysaint

Inkedbysaint is a tattoo and piercing studio in Sangro House, next to Chicken Licken on Anton Lembede Street in Durban Central. The studio centres on Saint himself, and reviewers talk about him as a long-term artist they keep returning to.

What reviewers liked

• Loyalty: Nqobani has had many sessions and calls Saint his artist for life, and one reviewer now living in another country says they still come home to get tattooed here, alongside their mum.
• Following the brief: Samkelo says every tattoo was done the way he asked.
• Care during the work: Samkelo also says he does not worry about infections because Saint takes extra care.
• Personal pieces: Sinethemba describes a tattoo of her mother as her favourite and a highlight of her year.
• Comfort and manner: Nqobani felt extremely comfortable, and Ndumie calls Saint humble with very precise work.

Good to know before you book

Saint does both tattoos and piercings, according to reviewers, so you can see him for either. Larger work may run over several visits, as Nqobani's many sessions suggest. The studio is easy to find if you look for the Chicken Licken next door on Anton Lembede Street. The listing marks the car park as wheelchair accessible. Since reviewers give no detail about booking, deposits or pricing, confirm those when you contact the studio. No reviewer raised a complaint, and several say they will keep going back.
