Tembo tattoo Reviews 

Great artist. Was really friendly and helpful talking through and adjusting options on the day, and was really helpful with adcive before I had even booked an appointment.

Absolutely love the design Tembo came up with for my Lord of the Rings Corgi ❤️

I was a bit apprehensive with a new tattoist but Tembo was lovely. It took a bit of work getting the placement and size right but she was super patient with me requesting changes. First session was hard work but so worth it - it's stunning.

I got a bit fidgety in the second half of the day (my pain threshold is not what it used to be!) but Tembo understood and would check-in often to see if I wanted to keep going.

One more session booked in - can't wait to see the final result!

My two sisters and I had the privilege of Tembo doing our tattoos. She was patient with us deciding on our design and is a dream to be be around. We felt relaxed, comfortable....would 100% recommend this talented artist. The colours she uses and how she uses them is beautiful. Don't think twice 💕 thanks Tembo x

I knew what I wanted but just could not visualise it. Tembo took my ideas and brought it to life. This was my first tattoo and she made whole experience comfortable. I have an idea for my next one already and will definitely want Tembo to create it

It was a wonderful experience with Francesca . She was very gentle and considerate. I love her beautiful art work on my back. It’s such a joy to wear such an original piece with pride .

I absolutely love Love love my tattoo. It was like Tembo took my tattoo idea right out of my head and made it a hundred times better. I am so amazed at her talent, patience, communication, and accommodation. It was the best tattoo experience I have ever had. I cannot wait to see my tattoo fully healed. I will definitely be going back to get another one!

After 7 sessions and 4 months my first ever tattoo is finished! Two abstract sleeves joined by a heart motif chest piece are now done. Blackwork, colour and dot work seamlessly combined. All of it strikingly original, just what I'd asked for. No upfront design, just took the plunge. Fantastic experience all the way through. Very talented artist who's able to adjust the work based on my feedback. And the opportunity to take part in the No Regrets photoshoot. What more could you want?

She was awesome! Felt so relaxed, and she turned a tattoo I'd had since I was 18 into an absolute masterpiece! Love it so much, would really recommend this artist

Tembo is an amazing artist and I am beyond pleased with my cover up. It has turned out so much better than I imagined. She was also very honest with me about what would and wouldn't work well as it was a cover up, offering advice as to what prep I would need and how the design may need to be adapted to cover. Her artistry is amazing, she is very friendly and professional throughout. Thank you!

I went to Tembo needing a coverup of a (very poor) dolphin tattoo I had about 30 years ago. During the consultation she was very understanding and listened to my ideas of the sort of thing I wanted and also advised me on colours and the types of tattoos that would be a good fit, looking through pictures I had of they types of tattoo I wanted we ended up going for the Agathena Emperor butterfly, which means a lot as it's the birth month butterfly of my dad so is a nod to him as well. I couldn't be happier with the outcome, the butterfly looks amazing and I am so so pleased with it. What a fabulous artist, I totally recommend her.

Thank you so much for wonderful design, you made my tattoo session so easy keeping in mind that it was my first tattoo and quite big one.You knew straight away what I wanted and I’m over the moon.

Tembo is a fantastic artist and someone I trust to add to my tattoo collection. She took all of my ideas during the consultation and made an end result that was even better than imagined. The last tattoo she did for me healed the best out of all of my tattoos, and the newest one she did is already healing wonderfully and ties in so cohesively. I can’t wait for the next idea to book a consult for.

Just finished another masterpiece with Tembo! What an amazing artist 👨‍🎨

Tembo is great in delivering the designs better than I ever imagined them. Each piece is unique and draws attention. The process of tattooing is very nice and she know how to make it so that you feel no pain.

Very pleased with the quality of my new tattoo.

From the get go Francesca was very open,honest and clear with everything she spoke about .
We had a consultation beforehand and I feel I was truly heard . She listened to all my worries and concerns and we worked through it all together .
On the day , when we looked at the design , again , my opinion and thoughts were really took into consideration and we made adjustments to suit me .
This was by far the best experience I’ve had for a tattoo and would highly recommend Francesca

So happy with my tattoo today!
Really great quality work and a nice relaxing experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Just amazing..
Thank you so much francesca..
I got 2 tattoos, one had water colour, the other was a realistic flowers and a Robin and honestly they are both so beautiful....I'm so thankful I went to Francesca, these tattoos meant a lot to me and she turned my ideas into something more beautiful than I could have imagined. Thank you

Tembo was absolutely lovely! I came in with a lot of ideas (not all good ideas) for a half sleeve, and she organised the ideas into something beautiful!
She managed my awful pain threshold with patience and humour and we made it half way through the sleeve. It's such a gorgeous start, thank you Tembo!

Have been to Francesca twice now and she is absolutely amazing, very friendly and very creative. Tembo’s work speaks for itself, would highly recommend and will be going back for more work. Thankyou Francesca. Dan
