Some' Ink Different review

Researched for Piercing studios in Telford

Unknown

1 New Street, Telford, Shropshire, TF2 6ER · Service area: Telford

Some' Ink Different in short

Some' Ink Different is a tattoo and piercing studio on New Street in Oakengates, run by owner Rob Saxon, and our judgement is that the town record behind it stands out. Some' Ink Different moved to New Street with council grant funding for the shopfront and signage, a matter of public record. The listing shows body, ear and nose piercing plus tattooing, six days a week with the studio phone for booking.

The Google record we hold gives the studio 4.8 from 150 reviews, the second-deepest review base in this round. Our review finds the gaps are paperwork and pricing: no insurance details and no prices are published, and council registration is not stated on the listings checked. The long public record in the town is the consolation.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Some' Ink Different suits you if you want an Oakengates studio covering piercing and tattooing under one roof, with a long public record in the town [2] [4]. The listings are clear on services, hours and the booking phone [1]. The gaps are paperwork and pricing: no insurance details, no stated council registration and no published prices.

Questions about Some' Ink Different

Is Some' Ink Different any good?

On the evidence, yes for tattooing and piercing in Oakengates: it holds 4.8 from 150 Google reviews, covers body, ear and nose piercing under one roof, and opens six days a week with Saturday hours to the afternoon. The gaps are paperwork: no insurance detail, no prices and no stated council registration. Read the full review and its sources, then ring the studio about your piercing.

Is Some' Ink Different 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 Some' Ink Different charge?

No prices, rates or VAT terms are published. 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 Some' Ink Different 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 one of 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.
