Darryl is the man! I recently was in London from NYC for the Libertines concert in Brixton and upon seeing the show I went looking to get a tattoo the next day. By fate, I found Diamond Jacks and met Darryl. Darryl was phenomenal. This was my very first tattoo and it couldn't have been with a better artist. Darryl really listened to what I was trying to do with my tattoo and then absolutely nailed it. Darryl is also just a really cool dude with some amazing stories about Tattoos, bands, SoHo, London, etc. He also has some great blues music that he puts on during the procedure. The result actually came out better then expected. If i ever get a tattoo again in London, there's only one person I would even consider and that's Darryl at Diamond Jacks. Get in! More...

I knew I wanted my first tattoo and having walked past this place for decades, there was only one place I wanted to do it! Really friendly welcome, highly professional and gave great advice. They understand that every tattoo is personal, however if they do not think it will work, they let you know and give alternative suggestions. Thanks to Darryl for making my first tattoo experience so relaxed and perfect. I'll be back for sure! More...

Just went for a walk in. Great work by Sunny. Simple black and white mushroom design. He drew up the design and did the tattoo in the same day.

Cracking place for tats. Really friendly vibe, the artists are fantastic and honest. If you're after somewhere cheap then go elsewhere, but if you're after somewhere great then look no further. I went for my first, with a friend who went for an addition to many, and both agreed that we couldn't have asked for anything better. The old adage is true that you get what you pay for, and from the quality of tattoo to the ambience to the artists themselves, you couldn't ask for better. If you hadn't guessed already, I'd highly recommend this place for new, or old, art appreciators. More...

Me and a friend of mine walked in without an appointment and they had immediantly time for us.They had so many good ideas and were so helpful! My tattoo was finished so quickly and it was also way cheaper than I thought it would be! Every day I'm happy about how this tattoo turned out.It's exactly how I wanted it to be.Diamond Jacks is very professional and I highly recommend them! More...

Went and got my 3rd tattoo while I was in London and found this shop. The shop itself is tucked into an alley that was currently under construction, so it was a little difficult to find. Darryl was happy to take my questions and helped me tweak my design, a simple crescent moon on my ribs, to my liking. He also made the process extremely easy and was very fun to talk to. He gave me a few pointers to what to look for in other tattoo artists. Great guy. Cannot recommend this place more highly. 10/10. Would be a great place to get your first tattoo or 50th. More...

We had a great experience at diamond jacks and managed to get an appointment last minute . All staff were friendly, there was lots of banter and we all laughed lots. We both had two little birds on a branch on our inner wrists and we absolutely love them. Can't wait for our next trip to London to visit our beautiful tattooist Hannah for another xxxxxx More...

I have to say that Diamond Jacks has always been great to me as a custom and a friend. 80% of my tattoos are from all different artists that have been through it's doors. Lovely people.

Simply the best tattoo shop in London. Classic, traditional and not just another hipster tattoo shop.
Original, and still the best.

Went all the way from Denmark to get my first tattoo here a couple of weeks ago and it was totally worth it! I can only recommend Diamond Jacks. When I stepped inside I was met with hospitality like nowhere else and I felt really welcome. The place was clean and the tattooing went smooth. I couldn't imagine a better place to get tatted ;) More...

Best shop in London, got my first tattoo done here many years ago and have never looked back. Daryl Gates is an ace artist and the shop has a great vibe whenever I visit. An old school gem of soho that is worth a visit. More...

Came here for my second tattoo and it was such a great experience, Darryl was so friendly and gentle I barely felt a thing! They only do walk-ins on weekends which was awesome for me as I was able to get mine done on the spot on a Saturday afternoon whilst other places I had visited in the area were booked out for hours if not days, I almost thought I wasn't going to be able to get it at all before leaving London. Thanks so much!!! More...
