Sinister Ink SA

Sinister Ink SA is a tattoo and piercing shop on Bessiebos Avenue in Wonderboom, Pretoria. Most reviews centre on the tattoo artist Charlie, also called Charles, who is praised for detail and for understanding what clients want. One reviewer also had a quick ear piercing here.

What reviewers liked

• Getting the design right. Leani said Charlie nailed every detail of her design, and Werner said he understands what clients want and makes excellent suggestions.
• A comfortable session. Leani was surprised how little it hurt and said she nearly fell asleep. Brayden, who had a back piece done, found the artist patient and easy to chat to.
• Loyalty. Tayla plans to return, and Werner describes himself as a long-time fan.
• Piercing. Leanne had a second ear piercing done and said it was quick, not painful and looks great.

Good to know before you book

These reviews contain no complaints. If you have a rough idea rather than a finished design, Werner's review suggests it is worth asking Charlie for recommendations, as he is good at shaping a concept. Large work such as Brayden's back piece is taken on, so bigger projects are an option.

For piercings, Leanne found the service prompt. The reviews say little about booking or pricing, so contact the studio beforehand to check availability and get a quote for your piece.
