STORIES ON SKIN
A VISUAL REBELLION
HOUSE of BEST is a philosophy disguised as a tattoo studio. Here, skin is the canvas to tell your tale. Each mark carries emotion, rebellion and cultural depth.
Founded by Mr J.Best, a London based tattoo artist. A Private Tattoo studio located in NW London Willesden Junction (NW10).
We blend the precision of Da Vinci, the emotional storytelling of an A24 film alongside the ideologies and soul of British subcultures.
This is art that lives on you, designed for you. Not for validation, but as reclamation.

" A one-of-a-kind tattoo artist and overall experience! From the point of first contact to aftercare, Mr J has perfected the art of ensuring your tattoo experience is personal and unique. This might seem rare but he set aside his whole day to meet with me and discuss my design in-person, which I really appreciated as it provided a personal and private environment to get my tattoo done. I love his flexibility and openness to collaborating with his customers, as well as his sheer talent at making my vision come to life (even when I was unsure at times what I wanted). You can tell he's experienced based off his knowledge of the industry and art form, so trust that you're in safe hands. I cannot recommend him enough if you're in search for a custom, high-quality tattoo and 100/10 customer service, and he's the only artist I'd go back to for another tattoo. "

" Honestly you could not wish for a better experience for your first (or second, or third, or fourth) tattoo. Not only is Jason ridiculously talented - the precision with his shading and detail is unreal - but he is also one of the warmest and most relaxing people to be around. Which is exactly what you need when you’re making a big decision about something that’s going to be on your body forever. He works with you to refine the design, and has a super sharp eye for composition, and for how the tattoo would best look on your body. He takes his time to make sure things are just right, before working incredibly efficiently to get the tattoo completed. Thanks Jason! Can’t wait to come back. "

" Jason is awesome. From the moment i arrived at the studio he made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. I saw his flower designs on his instagram page, and we discussed via email beforehand placement and size, with him being open and honest about what would work best. The flower was drawn on freehand, and I trusted him totally to do it right. He did, and I am very happy with how it came out. I have already booked in my next tattoo at the studio, that's how much I trust him working on my skin. I would recommend him for anyone either adding to their tattoo collection, or getting a first tattoo. Couldn't ask for a better guy to be getting ink with. "

" I have very recently had my first session with Mr J.Best and I can say hands down that it won’t be my last! He was very communicative and informative from our initial email which was already a green flag for me (you’d be surprised at how many tattoo artists aren’t that great at customer service) and during our session together, he was really personable. The fact that he has an incredible talent on top of that, alongside working in a cool private studio was just the glacier cherry on top!! "

" I've been going to him since 2017, working on my thigh tattoo, and he's always been very professional and he's a joy to work with! He will always listen to your concerns and puts you at ease. I will be going back soon to hopefully finish off the current tattoo. I highly recommend him! "

" This is my second tattoo now and will definitely be coming back for more! I found him through his instagram and his collection of fantastic black and grey tattoos. He helped me to fine tune the designs and figure out the style that I was looking for. Lovely to work with and amazing attention to detail, I highhhly recommend! "

"Jason is a fantastic artist with a welcoming and supportive approach to collaborative design. Jason met and exceeded the design brief, providing expert advice on stylistic and sizing considerations I had not even thought about. Would highly recommend Jason’s services to anyone considering getting a tattoo done.."

" Couldn’t recommend J enough. Super professional and lovely person, whole experience was great. Really, really happy with my finished piece, it’s one of my favourites now! I selected a fine line flash piece and it came out beautifully, would definitely get some more of his art tattooed!"

"I got my first tattoo done a few weeks ago by Jason. From the booking to the end of my appointment I had a great experience. The people are really kind. Jason explained everything really well and made sure he understood what I wanted. His design of my tattoo is unique and different then what I had seen online which makes it even better!! I will definitely be back."

"Fantastic and welcoming artist. Initially I was booked in after his guest spot ended - but he was able to move his schedule to complete the piece. Very happy with his work and will certainly book again.."

"My tattoo experience was incredible. Very professional, but also very comforting and considerate! I was unsure of what size and placement to go for, but Mr J reassured me and I'm very happy I went with his advice! Smooth experience altogether, highly recommend getting one of the flashes."
