Muse & Me review

Researched for Piercing studios in Telford

Sole Trader

The Studios, Mansell Road, Wellington, Shropshire, TF1 1QQ · Service area: Telford, Wellington

Muse & Me in short

Muse & Me is a piercing, permanent make-up and fine-line tattoo studio at The Studios on Mansell Road in Wellington, run by owner Kirby, and our judgement is that the single pair of hands is the appeal. Muse & Me offers seven years at the needle beside a beauty business running since twenty sixteen, all from one private studio. Booking runs through the studio's own page with weekday and Saturday hours on show.

The Google record we hold gives Muse & Me 5.0 from 160 reviews, the deepest review base in this round. Our review finds the gaps are paperwork and pricing: no insurance details are published, and council registration and prices go unstated on the studio's page. Availability you can see before you travel is the consolation.

Questions about Muse & Me

Is Muse & Me any good?

On the evidence, yes for private piercing, permanent make-up or fine-line tattoos: it holds 5.0 from 160 Google reviews, works from one pair of hands in a private Wellington studio, and takes bookings through its own page. The gaps are paperwork: no insurance detail, no prices and no stated council registration. Read the full review and its sources, then check availability on the booking page.

Is Muse & Me registered with the council?

Council registration can't be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked. Telford & Wrekin requires every piercing operator and premises to register, so ask the studio how it is registered and look for the certificate on display. You can also contact the council to confirm the name is on the roll. Settle this before you agree anything.

What does Muse & Me charge?

No prices, rates or VAT terms are published on the studio's booking page. That means your quote does the talking: name the exact piercing and the jewellery you have in mind, and ask for the full price with the metal named. Confirm whether aftercare and any check-up sit inside the fee. Get the agreed figure before the needle comes out.

How is Muse & Me ranked?

It carries no score in this round: only the one studio that met all three basic requirements was assessed, and this studio sits in the researched-but-not-assessed group for want of stated council registration. Its customer record is the deepest in the round all the same. If you run the studio, use the Claim a listing route to send the missing detail for the next round.
