    Fantastic tattoo from Mary. This was my biggest tattoo so I was a little nervous but she made me so comfortable, always checking in on me and offering breaks. The tattoo itself is INCREDIBLE! I am so so happy with it and Mary did such an amazing job! Showed me sketches before, offered different sizes and always made sure I was 100% happy. Will be coming back again!

  • Sam kingett

    Mary is extremely personable and professional. She took the time to listen and understand the message and emotion behind the tattoo - something I have struggled with with other artists. I feel as if she really cared about doing an amazing job. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for an anime style tattoo. I’m so stoked on the tattoo she gave me and can’t wait to show it off!

  • Lara

    Thank you so much Mary! Love my tattoo and will definitely come back for more

  • Arif Kalam

    Mary was very organised and explained well the process we would be going through during the whole day and did a really amazing job on my tattoo, I'm very happy with how it came out and would definitely recommend her as an artist.

  • Alexandra Joy Cortez

    Mary is such a professional! Her attention to detail is incredible and she always listens to her clients! The entire process was comfortable and very gentle I didn’t feel pain at all! Would definitely go back! And I would like to commend Hackney Tattoo Parlor such a welcoming environment

  • Graham Page

    Mary was amazing in every way! Friendly, gave good advice on final choice of design and when it came to the tattoo application she was very gentle and it was almost painless. This was my first tattoo ever and if I ever go for another it will be with Mary without question.

  • Madison

    I had a lovely experience with Mary! She made sure everything was exactly as i wanted every step of the way. Her shading is beautiful and I love how my tattoo came out! I will definitely come back when i’m in the area again! I highly recommend!
