Tooth and Nail Tattoos

Tooth and Nail Tattoos is a tattoo and piercing studio in Studio 5 at Werk, on Lower Valley Road in South End, Gqeberha. The handful of reviews are all positive, covering first tattoos, custom work and piercings.

What reviewers liked

• Listening to clients. Suzaan said Ethan respects her ideas on design and placement rather than steering her elsewhere, and Simamkele's artist checked she was happy with every part of the design before starting.
• Range. Suzaan has had a manga panel and a dragon touch-up from Ethan, and Lizé was surprised by how realistic her pawprint turned out, alongside neat lettering.
• Gentle piercing. Kristen said Georgia's calm manner put her at ease for a helix piercing that was quick and careful.
• A clean, fun space. Simamkele found the studio clean and hygienic, and Suzaan said Ethan sets up his station in a sanitary way and the music is always good.
• Claudia found the artist gentle and accommodating.

Good to know before you book

Custom work is a strong point: Claudia got custom tattoos at what she called a great price. Suzaan's pieces healed with no issues, and she returned for a touch-up, so ask about this if your tattoo needs a refresh. The studio sits inside the Werk building, so look for Studio 5 when you arrive.
