What clients say about Umbra
★★★★★ 5.0 from 90+ Google reviews
★★★★★
“Not just a tattoo shop. This place is a standard. From the moment you walk in, you feel it. No ego, no bullshit. Just good people who care about what they do and who they do it for.”
★★★★★
“My personal artist is Ben Smith and I have to say, he has done some absolutely outstanding work on my arm sleeve so far. We collaborated together in making a design and he listened to every one of my ideas while contributing his wealth of experience and expertise, which resulted with a remarkable full Japanese sleeve.”
★★★★★
“The studio is spotless and has such a welcoming vibe from the moment you walk in. All of the staff are super friendly, professional & make you feel comfortable straight away… the whole process from consultation to getting my tattoo was smooth!”
★★★★★
“Love Umbra, and love Elise! She’s so talented and always takes my ideas and somehow makes them even better than I pictured. Every tattoo she’s done for me has turned out amazing.”
★★★★★
“Unbelievable - couldn't recommend Fred Bain any higher. Truly phenomenal realistic tattoo skills. Did two full day sessions and really looking forward to heading back soon for more.”
★★★★★
“The coolest most laid back (in the best way) tattoo place I’ve ever been to. Just like-minded creatives doing what they love and it really shows. I wouldn’t get my tattoo’s anywhere else and I travel a long way. Good vibes, good art.”
