Negative Art Tattoo & Body Piercing Studio in short

Negative Art Tattoo & Body Piercing Studio is a town-centre all-rounder, offering custom tattoos, piercings and laser removal with an in-store barber from Hazeldine House. Our judgement is that convenience plus a checkable company record is the package: the limited company behind it has been active for years. If you want several services from one central address, Negative Art covers that ground.

Customers rate Negative Art in the mid-fours on Google from more than a hundred reviews, which sits below every rival in this round. That rating sits against the convenience. It publishes no registration statement, insurance details or prices, and sits outside the ranked table for the registration gap.

The record shows a town-centre unit at Hazeldine House in Central Square serving Telford, with phone contact and directory listings alongside. Five-day opening hours are published on the listings. The limited company behind the name has been active for years, which gives the one-stop menu a settled footing. Our judgement is that central convenience defines the appeal: ink, piercing and removal without leaving the centre.

The customer evidence is a Google listing with more than a hundred reviews, a broad base that sits below every rival here on rating. That breadth matters: the lower figure reflects many voices rather than a few. Our judgement is that the record reads as honest rather than flattering.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Negative Art suits you if you want tattoos, piercing and laser removal from one town-centre address backed by a company record going back to 2018 [1] [3]. Its rating sits below several rivals in this round, and it publishes no registration statement, insurance details or prices [4] [5].

Questions about Negative Art Tattoo & Body Piercing Studio

Is Negative Art Tattoo any good?

Mixed: a checkable company record and tattoos, piercing, laser removal and a barber under one town-centre roof, but the lowest Google rating in this round from more than a hundred reviews. It is unranked for a missing registration statement. Read the full review, then visit to judge the studio yourself.

Is Negative Art registered with the council?

No registration statement appears on the business pages 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. The company record otherwise gives the studio standing, with a limited company behind the name.

How much does Negative Art charge?

It publishes no prices, rates or VAT terms on the pages checked. That means your quote does the talking: call with the design, size and placement and ask for a figure. Confirm the deposit terms and what the price covers in writing before you agree anything. Have the design, size and placement ready when you call, since the pages show no figures to work from.

Where does Negative Art work?

The studio works from Hazeldine House in Central Square, Telford town centre, serving Telford. Contact runs by phone with directory listings alongside. Call with your postcode and design idea to check it suits you, and ask for the registration certificate on the same call. The Hazeldine House address puts it in the town centre, with phone and directory listings as the contact routes.

How is Negative Art ranked?

It is not in the ranked table: no registration statement appears on the pages 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. Read the full review with its sources before deciding whether the gap matters to you.

How do I get a quote from Negative Art?

Call the town-centre studio on its listed phone line, since there is no website with a booking form. Describe the design, size and placement, and have your postcode ready for the reply. Ask for the figure with deposit terms included, and get what the price covers in writing before you agree anything.

How does Negative Art compare with the ranked studios?

The two ranked studios are Horror Ink in Shifnal and Ink Addixion in Madeley, and both state registration on their listings, which Negative Art does not. Against that, Negative Art packs tattoos, piercing and laser removal into one town-centre unit backed by a company record. Its Google rating sits below both ranked studios. Read the full review, then put the same design to each studio in turn.
