THE VIPER PIT · IRLAM, SALFORD
Tattoo & piercing near Barton and TraffordCity.
Looking for a tattoo or a professional piercing around Barton? The Viper Pit is an independent studio on Liverpool Road in Irlam. We welcome people from Barton-upon-Irwell, the Trafford Centre and the wider TraffordCity area for custom work and needle-only piercing.
Our studio is in Irlam, rather than inside the Trafford Centre. Choose the work and the artist that suit you, then plan your visit before setting off.
Work made for you, with time to get it right.
Come with a finished idea or just a starting point. We work on custom tattoos including black and grey pieces, fine line, portraits, horror and traditional-inspired designs. Browse our recent work and pet portraits, or send your references and placement ideas to the studio.
For piercings, we use needles rather than guns. Your piercer can talk through placement, jewellery and the aftercare before you commit. See the Trafford Centre piercing guide and our piercing aftercare.
Coming over from Barton?
