Muse & Me review

Researched for Tattoo 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 private Wellington studio run by owner Kirby, offering piercing alongside permanent makeup and fine-line tattooing. Our judgement is that the one-practitioner setup is the appeal: you know whose hands hold the needle, with a business history stretching back a decade behind the name. If you want fine-line work in a private room, Muse & Me suits that brief.

Customers rate Muse & Me at a full five stars on Google from the largest review set in this round, a remarkable record. That depth of feedback is its strongest card, because the paperwork is thin: no registration statement, no insurance details and no published rates. It sits outside the ranked table for the registration gap alone.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Muse & Me suits you if you want fine-line tattooing or piercing from one named practitioner in a private Wellington studio, with ten years of business history behind the name [1]. The gaps are paperwork and prices: no registration statement, no insurance details and no published rates [1] [3].

Score summary

We researched this provider but have not scored it, because it did not meet one of our eligibility requirements.

G3 · Telford & Wrekin Council requires tattoo and piercing operators and premises to register and publishes no searchable register [3]. No registration statement appears on the business page checked [1], so this requirement fails.

Questions about Muse & Me

Is Muse & Me any good?

On the reviews, emphatically: a full five stars on Google from the largest review set in this round, behind a named practitioner with years of history. It is unranked in our September round for a missing registration statement, not for bad feedback. Read the full review, then book online to discuss your piece.

Is Muse & Me registered with the council?

No registration statement appears on the booking page checked, so none could be sourced. The council requires tattoo and piercing operators and premises to register but publishes no searchable register. Ask to see the registration certificate in the studio, and get the answer with insurance proof in writing.

How much does Muse & Me charge?

It publishes no prices, rates or VAT terms on the booking page. That means your quote does the talking: send the design, size and placement when you book and ask for a figure. Confirm the deposit terms and what the price covers in writing before you agree anything.

Where does Muse & Me work?

Kirby works from a private studio at The Studios on Mansell Road in Wellington, serving Wellington and Telford. Booking runs online through the booking page. Send your postcode with the design idea to confirm you are covered, and ask for the registration certificate when you book.

How is Muse & Me ranked?

It is not in the ranked table: no registration statement appears on the page checked, so the registration requirement fails. Several other researched studios sit outside it for the same reason. Read the full review, and only book if the missing paperwork does not trouble you.
