FYNE THE STUDIO Reviews 

Olivia made the process of getting our first ever tattoos easy right from the start. She listened to our wishes and was patient and accommodating with tweaks we wanted to make to the design. On the day, she was a calm presence and made us feel really comfortable. The studio is lovely too. The tattooing was painless and we actually really enjoyed it! So happy with the results!

Olivia was so kind, helpful and made me feel so at ease before and during my session. Such a calming space with lovely people. The designs were exactly as I had imagined, if not better! She used my inspiration photos and my ideas and made them a reality! Beautiful work and experience all around - I couldn't be happier!

Amazing experience getting our first tattoos with Olivia. She is a very talented artist, and she made us feel super calm and comfortable through the whole experience.
Highly recommend!

This studio is absolutely gorgeous; the aesthetic is calming and the vibes are perfect whilst you’re getting a tattoo. Everything is incredibly clean and you’re at ease as soon as you walk in! I would definitely recommend coming here for your tattoo!

First tattoo with Olivia and it was amazing. The design is perfect, Olivia is a beautiful warm person and her care, attention and aftercare are first rate. So happy, would unreservedly recommend!

The studio was really easy to find having travelled a few hours by train. It was clean, calm and was a lovely place to be tattooed. I have followed Olivia for years and so was really excited to have finally booked in with her. It was an easy process and she was able to get straight back to me and offer dates that were suitable. Olivia was so warm and welcoming from the start. She asked me exactly what I wanted in terms of size and placement. She was professional and friendly, and I can’t wait to book my next tattoo with her! Great communication and after care advice too. A fab experience and I’m so pleased with my new ink! Thank you again x

I wanted to share my experience with Olivia-Fayne after encountering significant issues following my tattoo appointment.

I had been eager to get a tattoo from Olivia for about five years and reached out to discuss covering an old tattoo which we previously spoke about in 2020 and Olivia advised me to get it lazered before she could tattoo over.
I sent Olivia a picture in Aug 2024 of my tattoo and she said she’d be able to cover it. After confirming I could proceed with the cover-up, we had multiple conversations about my budget, which she repeatedly affirmed..

“Due to book:
“Design fee: medium £100
+
Session deposit £160

£400 to pay Friday❤️”

^message from Olivia.

I even explained if my budget was way off I could push this back for the future but she continued to confirm and stick to my budget.

However, after paying a £260 deposit, communication dropped off. I bought a custom design and wanted my wedding flowers designed into it but Olivia still hadn’t asked me for this even though it was on my design brief. I reached out to Olivia the evening before my appointment because on her website it says she will contact you a few days before to discuss designs but it can be up to 3 hours before. I thought surely Olivia would need to know what my wedding flowers are.
I then had to ask for the address 4 times and On the day of my appointment, I was met with delays as Olivia was setting up her equipment, which took considerable time. (Olivia claims since this only took 5-8 minutes but I had sent my husband a few messages on WhatsApp saying we hadn’t started yet because Olivia was putting her lamp together which took in total 35 minutes)
The design was only shown to me shortly before my session began. I paid £260 for a design fee and a session deposit but the design was done 25 minutes before my appointment and then the 1st 35minutes + of my appointment was Olivia putting a lamp together.
“ Hey honey! £160 plus design fee (that’s created pre session so covers that time :)) xx “

When it came time to settle the payment, Olivia quoted a total of £720 (I’d already paid £260), contrary to our previous discussions where she confirmed a total of £400. Despite showing her our earlier messages and her response was “I don’t know why I would say that” she insisted on charging more due to a larger design, which had never been discussed beforehand.

I’ve since communicated my concerns, but Olivia has maintained her stance and has even threatened legal action.

“I hope you understand, no one’s paying for my work but my customer. I don’t believe anyone should ever work for free, especially when it’s a combination of metal and physical work. If you’d have mentioned budget on the day, we could have stuck with the size I printed off which was from your initial request of the size you asked for x”

I am honestly so taken back by Olivia and it’s ruined my whole experience.

“As I said - I understand we chatted previously, but it wasn’t on emails. It wasn’t on your form which I where i design the piece from. Expecting me to remember a conversation we had when I tattoo every single day is a bit unrealistic I think if was that much of an issue, you should have brought it up when we went over the time you could afford. Or you would have surely asked when we had to go bigger than the size we discussed, if it was going to cost more as obviously, more design means more time.”

Olivia is claiming because I didn’t write it on the form which was the 1st initial enquiry before we spoke about cost and budget it’s not relevant even though we had a conversation in September 2024 where she confirmed a price and told me the deposit details and said she can do the piece and it will be 3/6 hours. She’s also saying because we were messaging on WhatsApp she forgot but she messaged me 1st on WhatsApp and also how am I meant to know she’s forgotten our conversation? She booked me in off the back off our conversations.

I went into the appointment knowing I had £400 left to pay and nothing else was mentioned until afterwards?
Why not say because I need to make it bigger it will be an extra £320.
Olivia hasn’t worked for free. I have paid £660 which was agreed for 4.5 hours.

“Keep telling yourself that. You didn’t communicate on the day. Whatsoever. Expecting me to remember a conversation when I speak to hundreds of people a week 🙈 and then CONVENIENTLY not mentioning something that was vital on the day? How how how how convinient. Some people.”

I don’t understand why I would need to triple check with Olivia after we spoken about my budget so many times and agreed a price?

I believe it’s essential for potential clients to be aware of this chaotic business practice. While Olivia is undeniably talented, her handling of the business side has left me extremely disappointed.

It’s distasteful, dishonest and just not nice. Please consider this before booking.

From the booking process to the actual appointment, Olivia was a true professional. We provided Olivia some ideas and she truly exceeded all our expectations. It was my daughter’s first tattoo in tribute to her late Grandma and Olivia put her at ease right away.

The studio was beautiful and she talked to my daughter the whole way through making sure she was ok.

Olivia has a wicked talent and her work is absolutely amazing.

My daughter doesn’t have just a tattoo, it is a timeless piece of art, with so much meaning.

I would 100% recommend Olivia to anyone, we will definitely be returning to her studio in Leeds ..

LOVE all my tattoos from Olivia.

Got my first ever ones with her and she put me at ease straight away with her energy and loveliness so didn’t want to go anywhere else for any of my others. Also, it’s like she can read my mind with the designs she creates! She gave me great advice on placement and made sure I was comfortable and happy with everything before proceeding without any pressure at all.

Would definitely recommend :)

I got my first tattoo with Olivia the whole experience was great she was professional from to start to finish. And I am so happy with my tattoos:

A thoroughly enjoyable and professional experience from start to finish.

We are both so pleased with our custom designs and the atmosphere was welcoming and friendly for newcomers to the world of tattoos!

Thanks - we will be back!

Thank you for the utterly gorgeous tattoo - I love it!

I was a little bit nervous beforehand but Olivia immediately put me at ease. Even thought it was a 5.5 hour sitting, discomfort was pretty minimal and the results are outstandingly beautiful. Highly recommended!

Beautiful relaxed surroundings, very clean and Olivia made us feel so relaxed and welcome. Really enjoyed our chat throughout.
Lovely coffee next door too.
My custom tattoo is beyond beautiful, incredibly talented artist and can’t imagine going anywhere else. Already booked in for my next one!
Highly recommended

What a fantastic experience being tattooed by Olivia. She is the most lovely person who makes you feel so welcome.
Her tattooing is something else. She is incredible and I could not be happier.
Would recommend to everyone.
Thankyou so much. Now I want another!!

I had my first tattoo with Olivia this week, and naturally I was a little nervous. I can honestly say that my tattoo is more beautiful than I could have ever imagined!

Olivia is an insanely talented artist, the design she created for me was absolute perfection. Aside from that, Olivia herself is so lovely! Getting a tattoo from Liv was a pleasure - she is personable, friendly, warm and so easy to chat too. It didn't feel at all like we'd just met and the time flew by (the beautifully serene studio also helped this)

I genuinly can't recommend Olivia enough and I'm already planning to book my next tattoo with her!

The whole process of having a tattoo with Olivia was fantastic. Her designs were amazing, but I wanted something a little bit more personal and unique, so Olivia worked with me to find a perfect design.

Her shop is also beautiful and an amazing place to have a tattoo. While there, Olivia made me feel completely at ease and her skills were out of this world. I couldn’t be more happier with my tattoo and would recommend anyone who is looking for a highly skilled tattooist to give her a call.

I have wanted a tattoo for YEARS but with a fear of needles and the typical tattoo studio, I had just kept putting it off. Then I came across Olivia and Anthologie. The studio has a spa-like vibe and is so different from the traditional studio... also with Olivia specialising in fine-line, it felt like the perfect time.

Before I share all the positives, one thing I do want to mention is I would have liked to understand when I would hear from Olivia ahead of the appointment as I was starting to panic when I had paid the deposit and hadn't heard from her. The way that she works is once you receive a date and pay your deposit, the date is secured and she will work on your design the day prior. Now I know this, I would feel content if I was to book in again but it was the not knowing this that left me feeling unsure whether my appointment would go ahead. This does not reduce my star rating though!

Olivia was truly incredible at picking up what I wanted from our conversation and tweaking the design to make it perfect, even whilst I was sat in the studio. I felt no pressure to go ahead until I was happy and this meant a lot. Olivia really understands anxiety and made sure I felt calm and comfortable throughout the process (the studio certainly helped - it is really beautiful and to such a high standard of quality).

I am so so happy with my tattoo and I love it more than I thought I would. During the tattoo, Olivia said that there were some areas she was leaving slightly lighter because we can always top it up after but of course you can’t make it lighter once done. A week later and I feel there will definitely be a few areas I want darkening up but she has said after 6 weeks when it is fully healed, we can book me back in for a top up and this is included in the price I already paid. Her attention to aftercare is just brilliant.

Honestly, Olivia has a serious talent and she earns my highest recommendation when it comes to fine-line tattoos and her understanding of how people feel. Thank you Olivia and see you soon xo

This was my first tattoo and I could have not wished for a better experience or outcome. I was put completely at ease, and the design / end result is so much better than I imagined. Thank you so much again!

I instantly felt relaxed in the beautiful, calm studio.

Olivia was so kind and supportive throughout my tattoo session, she took her time arranging the design on my body to make sure it looked right (slightly awkward body position) and that I was happy with it. It’s nice when a tattoo artist listens to what you want and is happy to make little changes - Olivia understood the importance of this!

Thank you, lovely lady!
