I highly recommend. This tattoo shop does everything perfect from the moment you walk in the door and get a friendly greeting from Baz to all staff members making you feel welcome regardless of why you're there. Shop is kitted out with a lot of cool stuff which is impressive to look at. Shop is ALWAYS clean and tidy and the toilets are always CLEAN.

I suffer with anxiety and at first I was nervous about having long sittings but the artists go above and beyond to make you feel okay.

I had a 15 hour sitting with Alex Rattray over 2 days and he made the whole experience perfect from breaks for food to going above and beyond to making sure I'm okay, all around a great experience.

I'm currently having a cover up done by Mark Mcilvenny, for so long I was told it couldn't be covered because of where it is and after speaking with mark he come up with a design which covers it perfectly which has given me a new confidence in life, mark goes above and beyond to make me feel okay and all around great experience. (I'm back in June 2025 to get the next sitting)

If you're considering a shop for a tattoo I highly recommend you come here you will not regret it.

Absolut perfect experience, very clean Studio, heartwarming nice people

Had been on a roadtrip, last 2 days visiting Glasgow. Walked in the day before, for an appointment, instant good feeling for the place, even when the idea of getting a nostril piercing wasnt older than a few hours and i was quite nervous.

Great job and big love to Kaitlyn

Last week we get a piercing from Kaitlynn. It was very spontaneous but they squeezed us into the schedule because it was our last vacation day. My friend was getting a nostril- it was his first piercing ever - and I got my tenth ear piercing. She did such a good job at both piercings. She explained everything and was so nice and funny. Never had such a good piercer like her. Would definitely recommend the empire studio. The atmosphere was relaxed and everyone was so friendly.
