Abody, thanks for my fantastic tattoo; it’s healing nicely. It just makes me want to have more work done on the one I had done somewhere else to make it look as good. Cheers.
Ah Neil you’ve done it again…..im once again addicted to my mirror. I can’t thank you enough for designing the idea i had for a sinister mad hatters tea party. You were able to take my original ideas and put them with your ideas, and create what i and many others have called a true work of art.
This one really did mean a lot to me and you created something way better than what i had in mind. And you were still able to retain my original concept/message. That to me is why you are an amazing tattoo artist.
I think its also worth mentioning that you were such an easy and interesting person to talk to. Which really made the long hours of getting a large piece so much easier and more bearable. That also goes to the whole Abody team who together make the whole tattoo experience enjoyable. I think that coupled with the very high quality work you produce really makes me want to never get tattooed any where else.
Just wanted to thank the lovely Jo for an awesome tattoo today. It was very personal and she took my idea’s and put her mark on it, making it a beautiful piece for me to look at every day, and keep me from slitting my wrists during the chemo!!
Top Bird that can chat as much as me, thanks so much Jo………………Lisa-marie xx
yet again, Jo has done a brilliant tattoo for me,
i spent almost a full day having it done,
(break 4 lunch)
Joey Ramone is now in full colour on my arm, the detail is exact & i`m a very happy bunny!!
all you guy are brill.
thanks again Jo,
Be back soon for more
Managed to walk in with my design, get it drawn up.. and have it done today and love it! The lovely lady who did the walk ins today.. didnt catch her name.. put me at ease! Love my swallow thanks! Will be coming back x
I just have to leave another message about Jo who did my Debbie Harry tattoo yesterday, what a star she is.
she made me feel so relaxed, & i felt like i had known all my life, she`s an absolute asset to your company!!
I walked into the studio today, after taking over 20years to decide the time is right for my Debbie Harry tattoo, & wow!! Jo did a fantastic job of my b&w portrait picture, i enjoyed my experience so much
i will be back for more.
thanks Jo
Hi jo, thank you for my first tattoo that you did for me on 23/7/2011 of the magpies, vines and writting on my foot. I love it soooo much. You are fantastic at what you do and you made me feel so calm and relaxed. I cant wait for you to do my next one! Cant stop looking at it! Thank you also to katy for making my sketch and idea a reality – very talented. Abody is great, clean and friendly, i highly recommend!!!!! x hayley x
Hi Jo
Many thanks for the virgin mary Tattoo this is without doubt a masterpiece. take a bow young lady. i would be honoured if you can put it on the website your design artwork and professionalism is second to none.
Thank you Neil for my angel tattoo, it’s by far the best tattoo I have. I had a right laugh considering the discomfort, time to plan my next piece. Hope you enjoyed the lemon cake and remember the 7 P’s!!!
although i haven’t been to Neil in about 8 years (i think you guys has just opened) i have yet to find an artist anywhere in the world that compares. from my first tattoo of a single star on my forearm to the half leg Maui tribal, they pain was worth it! 8 years on i am still proud of my ink!
Hi guys,
I really wanted to thank Jo for the cute feather on my thigh. She was really great to talk to, and was totally calming as it was my first tatt. I’ll be back soon to get some more, for sure.

My 7th annual/twice yearly trip to Abody for Neil to add some more to my second sleeve.
This is the ONLY place I would ever use and the fact that I’ve been coming back for seven years must say something about the quality of the work and the friendliness of the service.
Here’s to another seven years of quality tattooing.

Hi Jo. I just thought I’d leave you a message to say thank you for my 1st Tattoo (of a Scorpion). At the ripe age of 56 I thought it about time I got round to having one done. Everyone who’s seen it thinks it’s great. (As do I) Thanks once again Jo, I hope to be back in to see you soon my next tattoo.
Hi Guys, after nearly three months in Iraq with nothing but ink on my mind I have finally returned to the UK and i am so excited to getting some more work on my/your devils and angels chest and arms piece. See you in a few days Neil.
Tomorrow i am coming to visit from Derby to get my next sleeve session booked – its been two years since the first one and eventually, having birthday money means i can finally book my next session! Dead excited, cant wait to book and get the next piece to my tattoo done
xx
Just want to thank Jack the lotus tattoo I got for my daughter today. It’s amazing, I’m in love with it! I’ll definitely recommend you to family and friends! x
Just wanted to say thanks for phase 2 of my Maori design. Once again Neil, you have come up trumps and I see something new everytime I look at it ! I absolutley love it and look forward to phase 3 !! Sorry you were all subjected to my arse for so long !

Jack, Thank you so very much for my amazing back tattoo. Both the detail and brightness of my flowers is outstanding, I’m over the moon with it. Brilliant artist, and great taste in TV (SOA)
Take care, Kel.
Neil what a top bloke . Can`t thank you enough for the excellent job you did on my bio tattoo today it is amazing. Felt very relaxed and enjoyed the conversation. Abody is the only place to get a tattoo.
Neil , Thank you for the first step of my sleeve it looks good and will only get better as it progresses!!!! Hope to see you again in july !!! Thank you once again neil and the team !!!!!
Just want to say a massive thanks to neil for my amazing psychedelic rib piece, and also to rob for my cool yin yang last year. Both of you are extreamly talented artists and easy going guys.
Hey Neil & Brian
I just want to say a HUGE thank you for the Angel you did on my ribs neil, and Brain for all the help putting it togeather.

Hey Guys.
just wanted to say a big thank you to Rob for my tattoo on my back he did yesterday 2.5 hours hard work for Rob but he was great and friendly and i felt relaxed. i absolutely love it and Rob was amazing how he captured my ideas and drew a design free hand on my back. i can’t stop looking at it and have had nothing but great feedback. Truly a great and profressional place. I’ll be back for my photo when it has all healed.
can’t wait to see Neil’s work on my boyfriends sleeve in couple of months x
Big thanks to you all, only came into Leicestger to pick up my new laptop, I ended up wtih my belly button pierced and Steve got a great tattoo, hope to be back soon
Another huge, huge thank-you to Rob for last Saturday. The heartagram waist tattoo, remember?. I don’t think either of us will forget it…….mainly because I kept twitching involuntarily. lol.
My heartagram is looking awesome, and I’m completely in love with it.
And you were right, the shading hurt waaaaay less than the outline, sort of a tickly feeling….now if it’d ALL felt like that….I’m sorry I wasn’t more chatty but it kinda hurt just a bit.
I’ll be coming back to you in the future for any other tattoo’s I get. Rob- you are now oficially a tattooing God.
Posted January 25, 2009 at 8:13 am by Mike|Permalink
Abody is great! Me and my girlfriend went in to get matching tattoos the other month & rob was very quick and professional!
Good stuff! Shame their not open sundays…as i was gunna go in today for another
I’d like to say a big thank-you to Rob, for the wonderful tattoo he did on my lower neck. I love it.
So much so I’m getting another one done next week! (Well, if I manage to get up in time!)
Everyone at ABODY is so nice a friendly, they take the time to talk to you and really know what you want. I’m reccomending you all to my friends and family! xxxxxxx

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Rob for taking time, effort and real passion in putting back the ‘beauty’ of a butterfly I had done earlier this year at another Ink house in Leicester.
I’m so pleased with the outcome – wish I’d come to you guys first!!!
Walked in a few weeks ago and got my tragus pierced and I love it! Thank you! Neil, thank you for letting me watch you ink for a while on the William Blake backpiece – completely awe struck. I will be back again and I am also promoting Abody to my friends who want to get inked or pierced while in Leicester.
Was well nervous today, despite having had two (small) tattoos before, but they were ten years ago and I was crapping myself. From walking in the door to walking out again, I was made to feel really at ease and comfortable. Rob, you did such an amazing job of my tattoo, you really made the whole experience easy and pleasant. Thanks for doing my stars and for paying so much attention to detail. I’ll be in as soon as they are healed to get more done as discussed.
Anyone who is considering a tattoo, get your arse down to Abody. They will do a perfect job and you’ll be chuffed with what you have done.
Thanks again to all at Abody, especially Rob. You’re a legend. Keep reading the comics!
Thank you guys for my Tattoo its amazing there is no way I could have sat through 6 plus hours anywhere else.
Rob great design my brother would have loved it …Perfect
Thanks again Layla x
you guys rule! thank you for fitting me in yesterday, Neil you have done an awesome job i’m so stoked with your work, i’ll be in for a photo in a few weeks.
ABODY is awesome the only place i’d go too and recommend to anyone, the quality is insane. i’m looking into getting some more done, so i’ll see you guys soon lol
ABODY is by far the most proffesional tattoo studio I’ve ever been too. Top quality tatt’s & first rate sevice. I’ve spent 16 hours under the machine with Neil & the man is a top artist everyone who sees my portrait can’t believe how realistic it looks & he didn’t mind correcting some mistakes that were made on another tattoo by another artist. Will be coming back soon when my tiger is fully healed. Passed on your name to alot of lads. Keep it up boys. Rob
yes neil, brian and the new dad upstairs hows tricks, i think i need to pop in for some more well earned tattooing. my half sleeve has turned out smart and imdefo on for the full one. so ill be in touch.
Iv had few tattoos at your place even a cover up which turned out brill. Iv been to a few places in Leicester now and can by far say Abody id the best. Not only is it professional work but tho whole process is done nicely too. Rob took his time to find the best placing for all my tats and on a 4 hour session there was never a dull mood while he kept me entertained with good conversation.
Il be in today for another, hope your not too busy.
All the best and keep up the good work, Il certainly be promoting you with word of mouth.
Thanks rob, had a personalised butterfly tattoo done today and it looks awsome better than i had hoped would eagerly recommend a-body to anyone. Cheers
Hi jus seen my pic. The 1st one on Robs page-1st time i seen it like dat and i love it even more. I am comin in on Frid as its my B.day and hopefully you can help me with what i want. Can’t wait!!!!!!
Hello, came in for my tattoo yesterday of a samurai/warrior woman – took the cling film off this morning and had a proper look and cannot belive how brilliant it is. Neil did a fantastic job and I wouldn’t go anywhere else now. Will be in in a few weeks for some pics and to talk about adding some more on to it.
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the fantastic piece of art you put on my shoulder Friday. Exceeded my expectations completely …and still cant believe you did it all freehand!!!!
Seems to be healing nicely and I’ll be in for some pics as soon as i can.

Should have put something on here earlier!
Got two half sleeves (Yes, Neil I will come back and finish them off) done.
Have recommended as many people as I can (Brother Jake is inked as well as my wife and a sack full of friends) as Neil and Brian are the best around. Clean , relaxed, cool surroundings and always an interesting conversation to be had.
what a spotless place, very relaxing enviroment. i am over the moon with my tattoo, although only a small tattoo of the names of my boys (above) i was very impressed with the attention to detail. I will be back soon as we are in the process of adopting the boys 3 month sister, Take Care
Hey Boys!!
First, a quick thank you to the lovely Brian for his gentle work on my lip… (sorry for drooling on you mate). And to pose a quick question….. i know the basic idea of my tattoo but unsure how to create the sodding thing…. do i need to make an appointment to discuss it with Neil or can i pester him on my time? (i understand his popularity!)
Cheers boys!
Fx
After ages of trying to find a decent tattooist to ink and puncture us, We discovered Neil and Brian (the gentle giant). You guys are the DOGS B*****KS !!!.
Thanks to you both for being cool, friendly and talented.
(not sure about the WHAM music though chaps!!)
See you soon.
Posted November 7, 2005 at 10:50 am by Jake|Permalink
I’ve had about 15 hours of tattooing from Neil over the last two years on the recommendation of my Bro. Everyone who wants to get ink done & asks for my recommendation gets pointed towards ABODY. I’ve had work done at about 5 different places now & would only ever use ABODY again. Top quality work, sound attitude, double clean place….dudes!
Just wanted to say a huge thankyou to neil for the costom art work you did on my tummy on the 2nd of september, 4 hours and worth every second!!!!, i love it so much, you have given me my confidence back!!!! hipsters are the order of the day from now on, you will always be my star.
i’m sure you’ll see me again, got to think what i want tattooing next lol.
lots of love
laura xxxx
Thank you Neil for the excellent work on my custom tattoo! The design had taken me some time to research and draw and I wanted it to reflect my life from the last 3 years which have been very tough for me from losing 2 people very close to me.
You provided an excellent, professional service and I felt very comfortable thoughout the 4 hours in your hands.
Abody: highly recommended!
thankyou! my first tatto and i think i have the bug, i’m dead chuffed with it and will be back for photos!

thanx Jo, for my scary fairy yesterday, she looks brill.
working on my next one for after xmas
cheers all
Abody, thanks for my fantastic tattoo; it’s healing nicely. It just makes me want to have more work done on the one I had done somewhere else to make it look as good. Cheers.
Ah Neil you’ve done it again…..im once again addicted to my mirror. I can’t thank you enough for designing the idea i had for a sinister mad hatters tea party. You were able to take my original ideas and put them with your ideas, and create what i and many others have called a true work of art.
This one really did mean a lot to me and you created something way better than what i had in mind. And you were still able to retain my original concept/message. That to me is why you are an amazing tattoo artist.
I think its also worth mentioning that you were such an easy and interesting person to talk to. Which really made the long hours of getting a large piece so much easier and more bearable. That also goes to the whole Abody team who together make the whole tattoo experience enjoyable. I think that coupled with the very high quality work you produce really makes me want to never get tattooed any where else.
So thank you Neil and the whole Abody team.
Thanks once again neil for my ink on my neck ..will be coming soon for me other side lol
thanks guys
Just wanted to say Jo is a great tattooist and a great person to chat to. Can’t wait to go back for another tattoo

I just have to leave another message about Jo who did my Debbie Harry tattoo yesterday, what a star she is.
she made me feel so relaxed, & i felt like i had known all my life, she`s an absolute asset to your company!!

Hi guys,
I really wanted to thank Jo for the cute feather on my thigh. She was really great to talk to, and was totally calming as it was my first tatt. I’ll be back soon to get some more, for sure.
Lauren
My 7th annual/twice yearly trip to Abody for Neil to add some more to my second sleeve.
This is the ONLY place I would ever use and the fact that I’ve been coming back for seven years must say something about the quality of the work and the friendliness of the service.
Here’s to another seven years of quality tattooing.
Cheers fellas
Hi Jo. I just thought I’d leave you a message to say thank you for my 1st Tattoo (of a Scorpion). At the ripe age of 56 I thought it about time I got round to having one done. Everyone who’s seen it thinks it’s great. (As do I) Thanks once again Jo, I hope to be back in to see you soon my next tattoo.
Hi Guys, after nearly three months in Iraq with nothing but ink on my mind I have finally returned to the UK and i am so excited to getting some more work on my/your devils and angels chest and arms piece. See you in a few days Neil.
Tomorrow i am coming to visit from Derby to get my next sleeve session booked – its been two years since the first one and eventually, having birthday money means i can finally book my next session! Dead excited, cant wait to book and get the next piece to my tattoo done
xx
H guys, things are looking good. thanks for the phoe call tday Neil, great to talk to you.lots of love to all & Sam

Hey Guys.
just wanted to say a big thank you to Rob for my tattoo on my back he did yesterday 2.5 hours hard work for Rob but he was great and friendly and i felt relaxed. i absolutely love it and Rob was amazing how he captured my ideas and drew a design free hand on my back. i can’t stop looking at it and have had nothing but great feedback. Truly a great and profressional place. I’ll be back for my photo when it has all healed.
can’t wait to see Neil’s work on my boyfriends sleeve in couple of months x
Big thanks to you all, only came into Leicestger to pick up my new laptop, I ended up wtih my belly button pierced and Steve got a great tattoo, hope to be back soon
hi neil you did some work for me in southend a dragon on my thigh ,shoulder and chest still looking good
Another huge, huge thank-you to Rob for last Saturday. The heartagram waist tattoo, remember?. I don’t think either of us will forget it…….mainly because I kept twitching involuntarily. lol.

My heartagram is looking awesome, and I’m completely in love with it.
And you were right, the shading hurt waaaaay less than the outline, sort of a tickly feeling….now if it’d ALL felt like that….I’m sorry I wasn’t more chatty but it kinda hurt just a bit.
I’ll be coming back to you in the future for any other tattoo’s I get. Rob- you are now oficially a tattooing God.
Abody is great! Me and my girlfriend went in to get matching tattoos the other month & rob was very quick and professional!
Good stuff! Shame their not open sundays…as i was gunna go in today for another
I’d like to say a big thank-you to Rob, for the wonderful tattoo he did on my lower neck.
I love it.
So much so I’m getting another one done next week! (Well, if I manage to get up in time!)
Everyone at ABODY is so nice a friendly, they take the time to talk to you and really know what you want. I’m reccomending you all to my friends and family! xxxxxxx
hey guys do you do uv tattoo’s
Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Rob for taking time, effort and real passion in putting back the ‘beauty’ of a butterfly I had done earlier this year at another Ink house in Leicester.
I’m so pleased with the outcome – wish I’d come to you guys first!!!
*** Highly recommended ***
Thanks Rob for my custom marvelesque tattoo you captured my drawing perfectly
thanks dude
Walked in a few weeks ago and got my tragus pierced and I love it! Thank you! Neil, thank you for letting me watch you ink for a while on the William Blake backpiece – completely awe struck. I will be back again and I am also promoting Abody to my friends who want to get inked or pierced while in Leicester.
Thinking of getting my tragus done. Defiantly think i’ll be coming to you cos the site looks very professional.
Wow – was told bout your website last week by someone from Leic. Very impressed – will definately contact you when ready for next piece.
Was well nervous today, despite having had two (small) tattoos before, but they were ten years ago and I was crapping myself. From walking in the door to walking out again, I was made to feel really at ease and comfortable. Rob, you did such an amazing job of my tattoo, you really made the whole experience easy and pleasant. Thanks for doing my stars and for paying so much attention to detail. I’ll be in as soon as they are healed to get more done as discussed.
Anyone who is considering a tattoo, get your arse down to Abody. They will do a perfect job and you’ll be chuffed with what you have done.
Thanks again to all at Abody, especially Rob. You’re a legend. Keep reading the comics!
Thank you guys for my Tattoo its amazing there is no way I could have sat through 6 plus hours anywhere else.
Rob great design my brother would have loved it …Perfect
Thanks again Layla x
you guys rule! thank you for fitting me in yesterday, Neil you have done an awesome job i’m so stoked with your work, i’ll be in for a photo in a few weeks.
ABODY is awesome the only place i’d go too and recommend to anyone, the quality is insane. i’m looking into getting some more done, so i’ll see you guys soon lol
ABODY is by far the most proffesional tattoo studio I’ve ever been too. Top quality tatt’s & first rate sevice. I’ve spent 16 hours under the machine with Neil & the man is a top artist everyone who sees my portrait can’t believe how realistic it looks & he didn’t mind correcting some mistakes that were made on another tattoo by another artist. Will be coming back soon when my tiger is fully healed. Passed on your name to alot of lads. Keep it up boys. Rob
yes neil, brian and the new dad upstairs hows tricks, i think i need to pop in for some more well earned tattooing. my half sleeve has turned out smart and imdefo on for the full one. so ill be in touch.
nathan.
Hi guys.
Iv had few tattoos at your place even a cover up which turned out brill. Iv been to a few places in Leicester now and can by far say Abody id the best. Not only is it professional work but tho whole process is done nicely too. Rob took his time to find the best placing for all my tats and on a 4 hour session there was never a dull mood while he kept me entertained with good conversation.
Il be in today for another, hope your not too busy.
All the best and keep up the good work, Il certainly be promoting you with word of mouth.
rob

Hey had my rook done here last week, been to my fair share of piercing places the good and the bad, and here was by far the best!
Really friendly, and gave great advice as i kept asking questions about other piercings. reccomended to all my friends, will defo be back again!
great site makes me want a tattoo
thanks samx
Hey guys! thanks so much for piercing my toe. I was the random american who came in with my two friends and got it done about 2 months ago! it looks amazing and has healed wonderfully! thanks again!
Should have put something on here earlier!
Got two half sleeves (Yes, Neil I will come back and finish them off) done.
Have recommended as many people as I can (Brother Jake is inked as well as my wife and a sack full of friends) as Neil and Brian are the best around. Clean , relaxed, cool surroundings and always an interesting conversation to be had.
what a spotless place, very relaxing enviroment. i am over the moon with my tattoo, although only a small tattoo of the names of my boys (above) i was very impressed with the attention to detail. I will be back soon as we are in the process of adopting the boys 3 month sister, Take Care
Hey Boys!!
First, a quick thank you to the lovely Brian for his gentle work on my lip… (sorry for drooling on you mate). And to pose a quick question….. i know the basic idea of my tattoo but unsure how to create the sodding thing…. do i need to make an appointment to discuss it with Neil or can i pester him on my time? (i understand his popularity!)
Cheers boys!

Hi Chaps and anyone reading this.
After ages of trying to find a decent tattooist to ink and puncture us, We discovered Neil and Brian (the gentle giant). You guys are the DOGS B*****KS !!!.
Thanks to you both for being cool, friendly and talented.
(not sure about the WHAM music though chaps!!)
See you soon.
I’ve had about 15 hours of tattooing from Neil over the last two years on the recommendation of my Bro. Everyone who wants to get ink done & asks for my recommendation gets pointed towards ABODY. I’ve had work done at about 5 different places now & would only ever use ABODY again. Top quality work, sound attitude, double clean place….dudes!
the boys brilliant at the tribal
hey guys, cleanest place ive ever had a peircin! x lois
Just wanted to say a huge thankyou to neil for the costom art work you did on my tummy on the 2nd of september, 4 hours and worth every second!!!!, i love it so much, you have given me my confidence back!!!! hipsters are the order of the day from now on, you will always be my star.
i’m sure you’ll see me again, got to think what i want tattooing next lol.
lots of love
laura xxxx
Thank you Neil for the excellent work on my custom tattoo! The design had taken me some time to research and draw and I wanted it to reflect my life from the last 3 years which have been very tough for me from losing 2 people very close to me.
You provided an excellent, professional service and I felt very comfortable thoughout the 4 hours in your hands.
Abody: highly recommended!
thankyou! my first tatto and i think i have the bug, i’m dead chuffed with it and will be back for photos!
You made me feel very comfortable despite being beside myself when i came in, thanks again x
