I had a bespoke tattoo by Clare and I'm so incredibly happy! Clare takes so much care to make sure you are completely happy before proceeding.A freehand design straight on to your skin, is a whole different experience,one I can highly recommend.It fits you,and it's a unique work of art.Such is her skill I travel over 200 miles to be tattooed by her,and I would never go anywhere else. So many thanks once again and see you again soon :-) xx

Wow what an amazing experience today. My first tattoo and the whole process felt life affirming, feminine and loving. No threatening masculine tattoo shop I was welcomed into Claire's lovely home and we chatted about my ideas over a cup of Camille Tea. Claire then sketched out some designs on my leg (no stencils here) and once we were both happy we went downstairs to Claire's studio. Such a lovely room clean, sterile and girlie. I was shocked how little the tattoo hurt for the main part over my foot I opted for the anaesthetic gel and then there was no discomfort at all. We laughed and chatted all the way through with Claire's eclectic play list wafting in the background. There was no rush or clock watching and the finished result was beyond what I had imagined, simply beautiful. Thank you Claire you are a pure artist and an absolute gem of a lady xxxx I had done my research and it was seeing Claire's gorgeous jewellery and paintings at Arcanum that led me to looking at her before abd after pictures and when i decided to have a tattoo i knew it was Claire i would be going to. I would say to anyone thinking about a tattoo go to Claire and speak to her she is so approachable.

Each tattoo tells a story... When I arrive at Clare's studio, my story is revealed within four chapters. 1. We discuss my idea and, throughout the conversation, the story develops. 2. As Clare sketches - free hand - on my skin, the details take shape, breathing life into a dream. 3. Clare's creative vision and attention to detail provide the depth that the story needs to be told. 4. With a huge smile on my face and in my heart, I admire the finished product...seeing and hearing my beautiful, one of a kind story...told for the very first time. I am becoming a library...one story at a time. Thanks, Clare, for helping me to realise my tattoo dreams. (3 done...many more to go)

Had my version of a spa date today at Clare Lupino's having a beautiful new tattoo. Fabulous relaxed atmosphere (so much so that I nearly fell asleep) lots of care and attention from this fantastic artist as she skillfully hand drew the design I wanted. Tattoos while singing along to Motown hits. What better way to spend the day. Thank you Clare x

Claire made for me the most beautiful black rose ring and earrings to match a dress. I've been wearing them all the time though because I love them. But now the ring has gone missing somewhere! I've searched Hebden. And now I'm going to ask for another to be made. It was so lovely..
