  • From start to finish, working with Origin has been a brilliant experience Initial communication was superb and I was matched with an artist whose style matched my required design The appointment was set and on the day, I was warmly welcomed by studio manager, Nick I then met my artist, Fredy Ricca and my design was finalised, and the tattoo completed. Fredy was brilliant, a terrific artist and a really nice guy. He explained at each stage where he was at with my tattoo and the end product is fabulous All in all, a really nice experience. Origin is a relaxed, chilled and friendly studio and I have no hesitation in recommending them.
