I can say so much about Olivia

I can say so much about Olivia. I reached out to her last year about a custom piece that I wanted reflect my heart/life/person. I've always been drawn to her work and it was a dream for me that she responded that she would design the piece!
Olivia has excellent communication via email (I'm live U.S. We stayed in constant contact) asked about style/sizing/placement; anything and everything. I felt comfortable, confident, but more importantly excited! The piece she designed for me was more than incredible, to me, it's perfect! She is an amazing person and artist I recommend her a million! Thank you so much Olivia for your time and talent!<3

Out $200 that I will never see again

In 2019, I commissioned her for a custom tattoo. I even paid full because I fully trusted her. Over the course of 2 years I tried to get a hold of her. She said she sent me something but I never received anything. Then she says she'll refund me in installments. Never did. I tried to reach out to her many times and was tired of the back and forth and eventually gave up on ever seeing my money again because I didn't want to deal with the attitude she had. When I contacted her a year and a half after paying her telling her she has taken money from me and hasn't giving me anything back, her first response was very immature. She said, "There's no need to speak to me like that. I'm a human being". My email was super respectful and polite. It didn't warrant that response. She seemed to just be upset about being held accountable. It's a fact that she just took my money and for nothing in return. Simply stating that doesn't mean I'm not treating her like a human being. Though her work is really pretty, her business ethics are terrible and there are plenty of other good tattoo artists out there.

Hey! So sorry I can’t reply properly, as you’ve not left any information I can’t actually respond to this specifically as I don’t know which customer or situation this is.

However I’ll do my best!

I can’t tell if 2019 was when you say the email correspondence happened or if you had ordered a year and a half before that which would be 2017. If so I can attest to 2017 as it was the year I was trying to juggle opening up customs on a global scale (looking back I was too young, and not equipped with any business experience to be able to manage this effectively, which I didn’t!) and my mums remission at the same time so I was traveling back and fourth to London and Leeds.

I put out numerous posts to mention delays so customers didn’t worry or take it personally, as at the time is was impossible to directly message every client due to the immense scale of orders and only being a one woman team! But I know updates can get missed.

During this time, thingd got overlooked.

I take full responsibility for getting too busy, I guess we didn’t know the powers of social media at the time and things scaled unexpectedly and were unmanageable. I however really did do my best though!

Almost a decade on from this I’ve learned of my neurodiversity. Which was a big reason for my RSD when I would receive emails that contained personal insults (although may have not been meant with malice, were still written) about my ‘uselessness’ and ‘unprofessionalism due to delays’ and I really struggled to separate myself from the business and not take things personally. It’s helped me to know better how to handle situations when I feel targeted negatively etc. So hopefully I’m doing better with this! Although of course coming to a public forum to display this resentment after 7 years naturally makes me ask why you haven’t contacted me online?

I do try my best to get back to everyone, but as I mentioned earlier full transparency, I’m a one woman band trying to manage an accidentally global business, and now two with a young dependant in tow who is the reason I work as hard as I try to.

Taking on customs became too problematic. Expectation of fast turn around times from certain clients didn’t fit with the ability I had with my circumstances and i stopped doing custom designs all together. I’m more than 90% sure by 2018 I had closed global bookings which I can check, but would alter your timeline so important to find out.

As far as I was aware any refund due had been completed! However, having new systems after that time did make things hard to track, new emails being set up, old ones removed etc. However I have always had the same insta account and you can always contact me there at any time!

It takes a long time to get round to replying, but I always try my best between business and toddler.

Apologies you feel so hard done by after almost a decade? That fact hurts me to.

I’m always open to resolving issues, especially if they stem this far back as I was under a lot of strain, with little knowledge of what I was going through at the time and why disappointed customers would hurt me so much mentally.

Last thing I’d ever want is a disappointed client as providing a good experience is litterally the entire purpose of the business I’ve created. I think you can see this from 98% of reviews form long standing clients I’ve actually spent time with in person.

Thanks!

Best Tattooist in Leeds!

I had a vision for my first big piece and Olivia really helped me bring it to life! She listened to my idea and developed in into a gorgeous piece of artwork incorporating everything I wanted. On the days itself she was really kind and mindful of how long it was going to take. Kept checking on me and we had a blast chatting away. I felt so at ease with her. The studio itself was immaculate and the ambience was perfect. The whole experience felt really individualized and personal. Her aftercare advice kept the tattoo fresh and I am so happy with the finished piece. Will be back for more!

Couldn’t be happier!

I am an almost 50 year old first timer and had so much anxiety about getting the tattoo done. But I honestly cannot thank Liv enough for the entire experience. She is a beautiful person with warmth and empathy that instantly put me at ease. I was literally moved to tears in the process and couldn’t be happier with the result. Liv is an incredible talent with such an eye for beauty and an instinct for seeing and feeling what someone is trying to communicate. I felt completely understood. I am thrilled and am already planning my next one! Thank you so much Liv xxxx

I had the best experience with Olivia

I had the best experience with Olivia! She reworked an existing tattoo which I was struggling to envision & she got it right first time!! I was made to feel really comfortable and felt at ease to communicate anything I wasn’t sure about. An incredible artist and person who I’ll no doubt book in with again someday.

Avoid

Awful experience. Rude, arrogant, absolutely no customer service. She took a long time to get the image to me and was very unsympathetic to my issue. If I could have had a refund I would. Feel as though I don’t want her tattoo on my body. Avoid at all costs as you will be disappointed

Hey! I don’t have a client under this name so I wil have to query its genuinity? As I can’t locate a client with this name I can’t share whatever my experience has been on the other side and I believe that to be unfair.

Hoping anyone that reads this reads the 5* reviews from the 98% of my clientele that I’ve actually tattooed as I can’t even begin to share my side here 🥲

It’s highly likely if there was ‘attitude’ of some kind there will have been good reason. As I don’t usually return the same treatment unless I deem it necessary.

Hope to be able to resolve this and be given more information.

Professional, Personable, and Seriously Talented

Olivia has been fantastic. From the moment I reached out seven months ago, everything about the process has been spot on. I’d done a lot of research into fine line tattooing and her work really stood out—clean, detailed, and consistently beautiful. So when I saw she was guesting in Cornwall, I jumped at the chance.

She designed a custom piece just for me, took time to explain everything clearly, and made sure I had space to ask questions or tweak anything before we started. Nothing felt rushed or transactional—just professional, calm, and genuinely thoughtful.

On top of that, she’s just great to be around. Easy to talk to, completely down to earth, and clearly passionate about what she does.

It’s rare to walk away from something like this already thinking about the next one, but here we are. Thank you, Olivia—I’m genuinely grateful.

Calming first tattoo

This was my first time getting a tattoo so I was nervous. Olivia was so reassuring and calm and made sure the designs / placements / size were exactly what I wanted. She spoke me through the processes and what to expect. Olivia was gentle and reassuring throughout. You've been a star and I couldn't have asked for anything more. The fineline are beautiful and I can't wait to plan some in future x

Insane talent!!

Olivia is so talented, the detail and realism she got in my tattoo is incredible. I’m so happy with the result, I wouldn’t change a thing. She’s very professional and approachable and I would recommend her to anyone.

The Perfect First Tattoo Experience

I had my first two tattoos done by Olivia and I couldn’t be happier! They’re absolutely beautiful – I’ve already had so many compliments, with people asking for her details. The whole experience was amazing. Olivia is so warm, welcoming, and instantly put me at ease. I’ll definitely be booking in again… she did warn me this might be the start of something!

Tattoo experience

Olivia was so lovely and really put me at ease instantly. We changed the location of the tattoo transfer a few times and not once did I feel like this was an inconvenience. My finished tattoo is absolutely stunning, she is a fab artist! Highly highly recommend

Fabulous tattoo, great experience…but also much more

Let’s be absolutely clear. I haven’t simply bought a tattoo from Liv. I haven’t even only bought a really lovely experience getting it done. And I’ll come back to both of those. Really what I have bought from Liv is a statement, a visible and physical sign that I do not have to grow old gracefully.

Let me explain; and this really matters because Liv’s warmth and energy has been crucial to me.

I am entering the second half of my 50s, and my skin is wrinkling and starting to fall off my bones. I will happily admit I’m a bit frumpy, and I’m carrying quite a bit more weight than I should be or want to be. No pity party here, just setting the scene for all the reasons why I could easily talk myself out of a tattoo, especially as I have just one tiny tattoo so far, from a decade ago…and for all the reasons why Liv has worked a miracle in helping me rebuild some body confidence.

First up, conversing with Liv by email in the run-up to my appointment. Her genuine desire to make people feel good about themselves was palpable. And my apprehensive arrival in the studio – seriously, not a natural habitat for me - was like meeting an old friend. A warm hug, and a greeting that really struck me: “make yourself comfortable, this is your home for the day“.

Liv showed endless patience and enviable talent in working through a bespoke design for me. And then I found myself feeling more comfortable than I could ever have predicted about spending a few hours in my knickers, legs akimbo at times!, having my upper thigh tattooed!

Her touch is remarkably gentle; no pain, no physical discomfort, and emotionally such a safe place to look and feel vulnerable.

And ultimately, my new artwork on my skin – which technically will outlive me! – is simply beautiful. It is elegant, classy, and yet sexy as hell. Trust me, that is an immeasurable gift to me at this stage of life. I see myself differently, somehow.

I guess what I’m trying to say is this – you are not just buying a tattoo from Liv, though you will get a beautiful one. You are not even just buying an experience from Liv, though you will get an experience quite unlike any other tattooist. You are buying a package which is, from start to finish and beyond, going to make you feel better about yourself than you might have imagined. She’s an artist, a visionary entrepreneur, and a friend you haven’t met yet.

Before I had even left the studio, I had booked to get my next one, next month. This time one of Liv’s existing designs (beauty in more of a budget!), showing a flower becoming more and more stunning as it opens through four stages….and it is going to remind me every single day that I might now be entering the final quarter of my life, but the best is yet to come. Can’t wait! Thank you Liv.

A wonderful first tattoo experience

Had such a lovely first tattoo experience with Liv. I was greeted so warmly and made to feel at ease, she took the time to listen and work with me to create an amazing design. The tattoo itself was a breeze - I didn't know what I'd been so worried about beforehand once she'd started! It took a couple of hours, I was completely comfortable during that time and I was left with a beautiful tattoo that I love ❤️ all aftercare information was provided by email after, and the healing process was much smoother than I expected it to be, not one itch was had. I will be loving this forevermore!

Would not hesitate to recommend Liv to anyone thinking of getting a tattoo. If she's ever back in Southampton again I will be booking in for more 🙂

Do not go to Olivia

Do not go to Olivia. Complete con artist, she charged me £420 for an appointment which only lasted 40mins, despite already paying £320 prior to the appointment. Olivia failed to inform me of the additional cost on top of what I had already paid. The tattoo I had was about the size of a 10p - outrageous for what she did. Do not go to her. The communication was horrendous from start to finish. Steer clear! I am now spending even more money getting the tattoo removed because I have been traumatised by the entire experience.

Hello Sara, initially I couldn’t find you in my calendar, but as this was well over a year ago I now know why you weren’t showing up.

Firstly, we spoke about this already personally. We went through the whole situation. And left on what I thought to be amicable terms.

This was on a London guest spot. Where the hourly rates are £200 per hour. (The studio take 30% of what I earn for providing a bed, so the rates have to be higher to accommodate me being able to actually travel to London to tattoo London based clients.)

You only wanted about 10% of the design I created, and I said to you, in person, you’re welcome to have it with this much less detail in, of course, but my minimum charge is still 1 hour. The design didn’t even end up being anything like what I had done based on what you requested, it ended up with your new direction entirely different. And that took time. (Still part of my job.)

I even gave you a discount because I was aware of how expensive it is in a London studio.

We had a really nice day, talking about your wedding, your dress, your life. It was a nice appointment. And you left more than happy!

The fact you’ve come here despite having a full conversation about this privately, a year down the line to deliberately negatively affect my small independant business is really disappointing.

All the best.

First tattoos!

Olivia made the process of getting our first ever tattoos easy right from the start. She listened to our wishes and was patient and accommodating with tweaks we wanted to make to the design. On the day, she was a calm presence and made us feel really comfortable. The studio is lovely too. The tattooing was painless and we actually really enjoyed it! So happy with the results!

Olivia was so kind, helpful and made me feel so at ease before and during my session. The designs were exactly as I had imagined, if not better! She used my inspiration photos and my ideas and made them a reality! Beautiful work, I couldn't be happier!
