Tembo tattoo Reviews 

Amazing artist, tattooist, beautiful cover up work.

Francesca has been very helpful and friendly all throughout the process. I’ve got a large chest piece done and it’s an abstract piece. All free-hand. Despite that, she really visualized what I had in my mind. You have to trust the artist when it comes to free-hand abstract pieces and she’s one of those to trust.

This was my very first tattoo. I'm 57 and the tattoo is a memorial for husband who passed away last year. Tembo was so kind when I explained why I was having the tattoo. She made me feel relaxed, she showed me her design and helped me add my input so it was exactly how I wanted it to look. I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. I am over the moon. She was attentive to my needs and explained aftercare. I would 100 percent recommend Tembotattoo.

Tembo is such an incredible artist and gave me such a great experience for my first ever tattoo. I sent her a sketch ahead of our first appointment and it was amazing to watch her turn that rough outline into a design I loved. During the actual appointment Tembo was really kind and worked very quickly. I’m writing this just over a week later and removing my final second skin layer and my tattoo looks perfect. Thank you!

My experience with Tembo was great, from the initial consultation to the day of the tattoo itself. It was very easy to discuss my ideas and to make revisions and she made me feel very relaxed and comfortable during my session. I'm very pleased with the results and wouldn't hesitate to use Tembo again or to recommend her to anyone else looking for a great tattoo.

Tembo was lovely, really friendly, patient and artistic. The tattoo she did for me is truly beautiful and my favourite one by far. Ill definitely visit Tembo again for my next one! X

Very precise work and so impressed with the detail. Thank you so much for your patience and professionalism.

My new tattoo is beautiful - exactly what I wanted and did a great job covering up an existing tattoo

Francesca has done all of my tattoos, though this was my biggest piece. She used my inspiration to design something truly awesome and the colour combinations were truly amazing. I wouldn't have anyone else tattoo me and would recommend her to anyone looking to get a tattoo in the styles she specialises in.

3rd time booking in with Tembo.
Absolutely love my tattoo!
I felt very comfortable and relaxed during my sessions and I will only ever book with her again for any future tattoos!!
Her colour work is insane!

So, it's not really enough apparently, two arm sleeves and a heart motiffed chest piece, all abstract, watercolour and the majority freehand. That was last time with Tembo, this time the brief was to extend it seamlessly down my side, ribs, hip and top of my leg - double ouch! As ever, Tembo did a fabulous job, with a spiral design that she integrated with an image I had found - she's really good at incorporating other ideas at breakneck speed. All of it beautiful and complementing my other tattoos perfectly. Great rapport and really enjoyable experience all round (except perhaps the the pain on the boney bits). Is that enough tattoos now? Maybe 😉

Matching tattoos for me and my fiancé. Both super pleased with how they have come out and are healing nicely. Excellent at putting us both ease throughout the process

Couldn't recommend Tembo enough. Complete professional, incredible designs. Trusted her with abstract designs that she mostly came up with on the day before each session. Amazing prices, too

I cannot rave about Tembo enough. Her watercolour work is exceptional. I gave her a vague idea of what I wanted, and she created something beyond my imagination. Her artistry and expertise is unparalleled; I could not recommend her enough.

Beautiful tattoo, really strong creative design, understood what I wanted and it looks amazing. Cover up of a previous tattoo done elsewhere which I wasn't happy with. Very happy with the experience on the day, and worth travelling to Bristol for.

There are not enough words to fully capture how talented Tembo is as a tattoo artist. I have three tattoos by her, all beautiful watercolor designs inspired by mountain landscapes and flowers. Based on my ideas, we work together on the design to make it even better. Tembo is extremely professional and creates a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere throughout the process. Every tattoo has healed perfectly—highly recommended!

Again a pleasure to trust Francesca with my very loose design idea. Nailed it again. See you next year for part 3 😂😂❤️

I’m pretty chill so it was good to have my tattoo done by Tembo as she was very relaxed and calming which gave me confidence that it would be a good experience. It was a professional service from start to finish, I felt like she wanted to do a good job and would take as much time as needed and she did exactly that. The end result is beautiful, I’m chuffed to bits with it.

Very talented and had a very calming approach that helped with my anxiety. Had my first tattoo with Tembo today and I am so pleased with it.

I brought a book and headphones to keep myself occupied for the 5 hours, but didn't need them as I was so mesmerised by the process and how Tembo created the tattoo.

Tembo is an amazing artist. I came to her with a basic idea and she turned it out in an impressive work of art. She was very profesional and considerate during the session as it was my first tattoo.
