Brill!
After visiting various tattoo studios in my area I was starting to think that all tattoo studios looked like dark, dirty cupboards :( After some more researching, I came across Rampant ink and was so impressed when I visited...was made to feel welcome and had a good discussion about what I wanted. It was drawn up and a few weeks later had it done by Rachel. It was my first tattoo and she was really nice, healed up brill and looks ace :) Was so good I have been well and truly bitten by the tattoo bug and am saving up for a custom sleeve and backpiece and will defo be going back to Rampant ink to have it done :D

Fantastic Tattoo!
Rach kindly did me a one off design of a lovely Gothic cat girl sitting in a chair. I was so pleased with her work I am going back in July to have another one done! She was so kind and they made me feel very welcome!

pin up girls by the lovely and very talented rachael huntington
after searching for someone who could do a life like pin up girl tattoo, l came across rampantink on myspace. l made an appointment to have a chat with the lovely rachael huntington. we spoke about what kind of pin up l wanted and left some idea's for rachael to work with. when l saw what rachael had drawn l was blown away with the detail !! now l have a awesome queen of hearts pin up girl. l have been to some tattoo studio's over the years, and nothing compare's to rampantink. they are so friendly . if anyone is considering any ink l would tell you straight away rampantink is the place to go. l'm having some more art work done soon and l cannot wait !!

Great place,Great Tattoo's
After having a few small tattoo's done previously at various hell holes i decided to try my local tattooist which came very highly recommended to me. Upon entering the shop i was met with a smiley,friendly greeting which put me at ease straight away. I discussed with the reception person my needs and thoughts and then i was introduced to Gray the owner/tattooist whom was only to willing to help me. With my own ideas and his wealth of experience i was more than happy with the outcome which resulted in me having a 13 hour tattoo done by Gray on my thigh which is truly amazing with all the colours and detail.(I'm told the other tattooists there are very good too) The shop and set up is totally proffesional and very very clean.I would certainly recommend Rampant Ink to anybody that wants a great piece of ink artwork (tattoo) and an excuse to get your trousers down in the pub to show of the brilliance. A++++ cheers

Gray Silva, great artist.
I had quite a few tattoos done by several different artists in different parts of the U.K. in the late 70s and early 80s. After a break of almost twenty years, I was bitten by the tattoo bug again, and was looking for a local artist to do a custom back-piece. Having met with complete disinterest from one well known Nottingham studio, I decided to try Rampant Ink. I discussed my ideas with Gray and booked my first appointment. Gray surpassed my expectations. He was able to bring together my rough ideas into an improved, coherent design. And when the actual tattooing began, I was greatly impressed by the quality of his work and his attention to detail. So impressed in fact, that we are now nearing completion of my full body-suit! If you are looking for top-quality tattooing in a nice environment with friendly, helpful people, then I would heartily recommend Rampant Ink to you.

Passionate About Tattooing !
After spending a lot of time researching where to get my latest tattoo done as it was something rather special my search finally lead me to Rampant Ink in Netherfield on the outskirts of Nottingham after seeing Gray Silva working at a national tattoo convention. On my first visit I soon realised I had come to the right place, the studio is great being done out in a classic 1950's style, the staff were all very professional and knowledgeable answering all my questions while I waited to see Gray the owner to discuss my design. When I finally sat with Gray and went through the design it was great! The guy is a true artist and he really thinks in a different way, you just give him some idea of the content you want and he just runs away with it and expands it in ways you had never considered, after my consultation I was happy to book an appointment and leave the designing to Gray. When I went to the studio for my first appointment I was equally impressed, the tattooing area was bright, modern and above all spotlessly cleans with all the latest equipment for sterilisation, tattoo preparation and application. Gray spent some time drawing free hand on my skin as a lot of my work couldn't be done by transfer. When the work started I was surprised at the amount that he got done in the first session, much more than I expected. After two more sessions my piece was finished and let me tell you the end result is AWSOME!! Done in Grays own unique style it's bold with fantastic colours, it was amazing to see an idea turned into an original piece of art and then have it applied with great skill to my skin. Gray certainly is a true artist who has real passion for what he does.

sleave tattoo at rampant ink
after deciding on the style of tattoo that i wanted i researched the nottingham area to find a tattoo studio that could deliver high quialty work in a clean and freindly enviroment. after quite a few dissapointing visits to shops that looked like cleaning was something that needed to be done about once a year, and designs straight off the printer , i was recomeded to try gray silver at rampant ink for an origanal design from a artist who cares about the work he is doing, i found this to be true when visiting to have a look around the studio, i booked a consultation to talk about the work i was thinking of having done ,i found the advice and work carried out to be done to a high standared with unique design and great skill , the shop was very modern and clean with helpful and freindly staff.

Awesome!
Rampant ink? What can i say? I have never been to a more relaxed, friendly studio. They seem to specialize in nervous people and go out of their way to make you feel at ease. I have had 2 tattoo's done at Rampant ink, One by Gray and another by Danica and quite frankly, I would recommend them both to anyone who wants a pleasurable experience and an awesome, original masterpiece that will make you keep going back for more!

"Gray is the "Dog's dangly bits".
i have over the past few years had several large pieces done at rampant ink and all have been inked to perfection by gray silva the owner who despite being bald and overweight and not half as good looking as me! ,is a totally top bloke and now a friend. Most of the work gray has done for me has been to cover up old tattoos which have not stood the test of time , i left gray to his own devices once i had told him what sort of thing i was looking for and his designs and freehand have always been top drawer stuff . check out www.rampantink.co.uk and see for yourself on the great website .

Wonderful
I was so impressed with this tattoo studio. Firstly they have Rachael Huntington working there (who did my tattoo). She is brilliant artist and wonderful at her job. She listened to me very carefully and patiently, made suggestions and was generally attentive, sensitive and really nice. I made my appointment four weeks in advance (they are very popular) and I went in person to pay my deposit so I could make sure I liked the place. The receptionist was friendly and pleasant. When the big day arrived I was nervous but going into the shop calmed me down and when I met Rachael, I felt perfectly at ease. The studio was spotless as was all the equipment. The experience of getting the tattoo was completely chilled. My husband and I watched Judge Dredd and chatted whilst Rachael worked and then we swaped over and my husband had his tattoo (done at a studio in Birmingham originally) re-inked. The nice receptionist made me and my husband a lovely and much needed cup of tea. Everyone working at the studio was friendly and pleasant and they seemed to really be enjoying their jobs as if working was a delight to them. This made for a relaxed atmosphere and a chilled out experience that I will never forget. I have followed the aftercare instructions I was given and my tattoo and my husband's have healed in record time with a beautiful result and no scarring. I didn't even have any scabs. This place is perfect.

School boy errors
I was considering getting a tattoo done in the Nottingham area and I was most set at Rampant Ink, before trusting them however I went with a friend who had already booked a "Double Flame and Dice" tattoo. The experience was ok and the staff seemed friendly. However in my friend's rush to have the tattoo of his dreams he didn't notice the artist had made several mistakes to the shading and even the numbers on the dice design. Instead of the number 2 being diagonal as it should be, it was horizontal, miss shaped and shaded incorrectly. Any tattoo artist worth his salt has attention to detail and dedication. This tattoo has shown them to be sloppy and disinterested in the end product only interested with making money.

Wow, So impressed
Having had several tattoo's at 'other' tattooists in nottingham I was blown away by the whole experience at Rampant Ink. The new decor really captures the experience of a 50's diner, with a receptionist that somehow managed to calm my nerves in seconds! Travelling to Netherfield was awkward but well worth the extra effort and My new ink rocks! I booked in for another at the end so I guess that speaks for itself...
