True old school tattoo shop with serious talent. Not only is it run by a tattoo legend (Lal Hardy) but Lal has also brought in other amazing artists. Claire and Mang were there the day I stopped in and have mad skills!Kenneth Buck

It was my first time at New Wave Tattoo’s and I Absolutely loved my experience. Lal, who did my memorial tattoo is an absolute gentleman and certainly lived up to he’s amazing reputation. He helped design it with me and it came out exactly how I’d hoped. I’ve had a few tattoos now at different tattoo parlours, all great but there’s something about Lal that separates him from the rest, he is the best. I will be going back. Thanks Lal, too man.A happy customNick Paraskeva

Lal recently completed a Spurs football tattoo around my lower leg. The elements and shading are amazing. The staff are friendly and helpful. The studio has a really soulful feel about it. I will definitely be going backGary Bishop

I can't thank lal enough for how he was with my wife and I on Saturday. Not only did he give us amazing tattoos but also the welcome we were given was quite simply wonderful we went into the shop not knowing lal at all but left feeling like he was a lifetime friend. If you want to know what perfect customer service is just spend some time in new wave tattoo with lal and his staffCraig Godwin

I've been going to the tattoo studio for over 10 years. The staff are friendly and experienced in the tattoo industry. I feel that is an honour to have my bodysuit done by Lal as he has been tattooing for years and his work speaks for itself. He is extremely knowledgeable and has some amazing stories of tattooing and other things. I always leave feeling I have learned something new. This studio is a part of the rich history of tattooing in London.DARREN CHOONEEA
