Hillside Tattoo Studio

Hillside Tattoo Studio is on Ontdekkers Road in Florida Park, Roodepoort. Reviewers describe a clean, welcoming place with a friendly team, and several of them came here for their very first tattoo.

What reviewers liked

• Jodie praised Kay-la for listening properly to her idea and bringing it to life better than she had imagined. She said Kay-la checked in often during the session, and that the tattoo is healing well with strong shading and line work.
• Patrick thanked Lino for his professionalism with their artwork and described the whole team as super friendly.
• Angelique recommends the studio to first-timers, describing an artist who was patient and gentle and explained every step along the way.
• Rirhandzu got her first tattoo here in April 2026 and compared the experience to a spa visit, appreciating the short breaks and the artist's full attention. The result matched, and went beyond, what she had in mind.
• Marcus likens the studio to an old-school barber shop, with good conversation and a good vibe, and felt the pricing was fair for the quality of the art.

Good to know before you book

Reviewers who were nervous about a first tattoo say the artists took the time to explain the process and offered breaks during the session, so do not hesitate to ask for one. Come with a clear idea but be ready to talk it through, as Jodie did; the artists here seem to work closely with clients on the design. Marcus suggests looking at the studio's photos to get a feel for the work before you commit. No reviewer here raised a complaint.
