Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful experience visiting the studio yesterday. Kirstie and the team are so friendly and welcoming! Andy did the ink work (just a few flash designs) and he was super professional and comforting. I am really pleased with the results of my tattoos. I have been having a rough time in life lately, so this especially brightened up week for sure! You can tell that the staff have a real passion for their work. I will definitely return and bring a few friends too!
Positive experience: No call back to arrange appt after attempting twice both over phone and in store. Quotes the cheapest I've come across.
Hi Jake, unfortunately we can't call back if we don't have a contact number all bookings are done via Facebook or instagram, cheers!
Fantastic experience: Staff were friendly & easy going. Good artists & skills
Fantastic experience: I have been getting my leg sleeve done by Glen, the artwork is amazing, from 2 little pictures he has designed a whole sleeve and the execution is flawless. Very friendly staff in the studio and great prices!
Negative experience: Great at ripping off other artists flash sheets to use for their own profit and deny it every time. They don't even try to hide the original artists watermarks and probably just don't care about others livelihood or clients trust
Fantastic experience: Jo is a very good tattoo artist and would definitely recommend getting a tattoo of her
Fantastic experience: I have been to dark arts twice in the past 3 days and Andy has been my artist both times the staff are so friendly and make the experience that much better highly recommend, Andy did such a great job I will be back for me

Negative experience: Not happy pretty much disgusted T was not even finished it was absolutely nothing like that I want that for two hours should be sacked on the spot I’m actually going to my solicitor
Fantastic experience: Awesome place,awesome people,great service
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Glen and the team at Dark Arts enough! Glen did a phenomenal job on my ear tattoo - incredible skill with fine lines in a really tricky spot. On top of that the space is great - clean, good music and interesting artefacts to look at and really competitive pricing for quality work. Loved every bit of it!
