Unable to cancel subscription!

I set up a subscription for some products, but your subscription management page has been broken for quite some time. Because of this, I cannot cancel my subscription even though I no longer want it. Despite my efforts, I am still being charged and sent products I do not need. This is unacceptable, and I am extremely frustrated at being forced to pay for something I cannot opt out of due to your broken system.

Free gifts that don’t exist and terrible customer service

Shocking promotional process, advertising free gifts that don’t exist have told me none are available anymore yet still advertising the same free gift. Customer services terrible non contact number.

Update: call of the owner sorted the situation out and apologised for the service and marketing approach

My first tattoo , so a tad apprehensive, but put at ease straight away by Sam Marshall’s skill , professionalism and knowledge.

The go to tattoo creams

Just wanted to take a moment to share some feedback on the product and Alex from the CS team, after making a purchase through Amazon marketplace both purchases of the cream and foam wash came damaged which of course is not the companies issue just wanted to flag this as I know these things can happen.

I contacted customer service just to give them the heads up and my issue was solved within 24 hours!
The cream and foam itself is absolutely fantastic!
Credit where credit is due though as it really is a game changer to the tattoo healing process and the ease of use is basically top notch !I find it so easy to use and it provides that extra layer handiness to use to clean and moisture while I’m working.

Insanely good products, even better customer care 10/10!

Superb customer service

Forgot to reschedule my delivery as I had not used as much product. I was unable to do so in time but Ed and the team were more than accomodating to help me resolve this.

Thank you so much

Excellent customer service
Amazing products and great value for money.

Can’t cancel subscription

I loved their products but their customer service is terrible. I’ve tried so many times to cancel my subscription and had no reply - have even messaged through Facebook. Now I keep getting emails that my card payment isn’t going through - which isn’t exactly a bad thing as I didn’t want purchases to go through anyway - but the emails keep making me worry that I’m suddenly going to get a payment coming out for products I don’t want. Their team is impossible to get hold of and it’s a real shame because their products are lovely. Sorry Stories and Ink, I really wanted to write a nice review

I am seriously concerned about this…

I am seriously concerned about this company and what they show their customers.
Three weeks ago I had another new tattoo and after seeing these creams on IG purchased the artist set.
After one application of the aftercare cream the tattoo scabs blew up like bubble wrap and leaked ink and gunk everywhere. To stop the mess I had to use clingfilm. After ten minutes of using cling film I looked at my arm and the entire top of my arm had slid off. The tattoo then kept bleeding everywhere. It took Dettol to heal it after it started to smell weird from a possible infection.
I left a 3 star review of the products on their page 5 days ago and guess what, it hasn’t been posted.
This makes me wonder how many other negative reviews they are hiding?
The daily moisturiser seems okay but smells really strongly like a sun cream, so if you want to wear perfume or use another body cream elsewhere you end up with a potent mix of overpowering smells.
As for the aftercare cream, don’t touch it, for new tattoos I would recommend Palmers cocoa butter. Don’t risk your new ink.
For me, using their aftercare cream has left my tattoo needing severe touch ups, which I will incur the cost for as it was not the tattoo artists fault but mine for using a product they didn’t recommend.
My skin is also really thin and the sun on it hurts a lot. It is also taking a long time to heal to a point where I can get touch ups on it.
Would I recommend using them? No, their dishonesty worries me more than anything else.

***edit***

After leaving a review on IG under this aftercare cream that scarred me, I received an ‘oh no, this shouldn’t have happened’, message, with a condescending tone about how they help even those who leave negative feedback (My arm melted what did you expect🙄). This was also a while after leaving it, not even days or hours as you would hope.
They told me to message them via email and they would get back to me. Fast forward to yesterday which had been a week since the email and still no reply. I messaged again on IG, you guessed it … no reply.
Yeah, desperate aren’t they to stop this happening to any other customer 🙈.
They didn’t even ask for a batch number of anything.
Seriously avoid this company like the plague. Their customer service is rated ‘-100’.

WONDER PRODUCTS!

Honestly I have been so impressed with the quality and result from these products, especially the Aftercare Foam Cleanser & Aftercare Cream. I have had no itching which I normally suffer with, so winner winner! I will be buying both of these products again.

I bought this based on the reviews…

I bought this based on the reviews online as I stumbled across this page recently had some new tattoos done and reviews were raving about how good it is and smells. Unfortunately, I didn't like it.. was bit sticky and the smell wasn't as amazing as I hoped. If I could have returned I would have. But I can't.

BEST TATTOO SKINCARE -- EVER!

Honestly, I have tried all kinds of tattoo skincare and aftercare through out these years. And none of them really did anything for me. Some had weird smells, textures or left the skin feeling greasy or sticky...

But then I was introduced to Stories & Ink -- my entire world of tattoo aftercare changed! All of their products I can rate a solid 11/10! They are VEGAN and CRUELTY FREE! That is so important to me!
Everything smells amazing and I could never get tired of the scent their products have! Also none of the products leave my skin feeling greasy or sticky, but at the same time they do heavily moisturise my skin and my tattoos get this crazy saturation that I haven't seen since they were freshly done!

I absolutely recommend their products! Such a stan!
Especially if you are on the journey to getting a new tattoo, their Aftercare Duo is a lifesaver! No more itchy or irritated ink!

Not a gimmick, you need to try these products!

I purchased an Artist Kit and was really surprised by the quality of the product, my tattoos popped and came back to life. They smell great and are really reasonable price wise.
I thought it was all a bit of a gimmick at first but have been using the products consistently for a few months now and my tattoos (and my skin!) are loving it.
