Cumulatively, I ve spent days at Sang Bleu London and cannot recommend it enough. The first floor of the tattoo studio is an exhibition space for contemporary art of all kinds, with a consistently changing roster of interesting artists from around the world. Sang Bleu London is made up of many resident tattooists in addition to the crazy amount of guests artists coming through at any given time! Many of the residents take same-day appointments and walk-ins, willing to work from their own flash or develop ideas in consultation with the clients. While I was there I was tattooed by one of the owners, Maxime, who is always both incredibly efficient and supportive during the tattoo process. Combined with the communal atmosphere, this makes even extensive tattoo sessions not only survivable but enjoyable. If you follow the work of any of the residents or guests at the shop, you will already know that no one whose skill is lesser than the best in their field works here. If you don t, the large white walls lined with original flash will convince you in seconds. It is clear that so much time and thought was put into this endeavor from the intricacies of each tattoo to the aesthetic and atmosphere of the shop itself. Prices are standard; tattoos are amazing. Quit sleeping.
