Black Sheep: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Black sheep tattoo is a really friendly and welcoming place, I felt very safe and welcome there. Paddy is a brilliant tattoo artist, he’s very friendly and kind, explains everything clearly and his designs are gorgeous and beautifully executed. I would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: I have been visiting Black Sheep for a few years now and I can honestly say it’s the best studio I have been to! All the artists are lovely and welcoming, the studio is stunning and as I female I feel very safe every time I visit. I have been seeing Paula for a few months now working on a sleeve; she’s an incredible artist, very patient and caring and I’m in love with my tattoo! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been getting tattooed by Paula for 10 years now, and I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with my skin. Her talent, creativity, and attention to detail are unmatched. The studio itself is hands down the most gorgeous tattoo shop in the world. It’s beautifully designed and you instantly feel comfortable the moment you walk in. Huge shoutout as well to Christina, the piercer, who has done several of my ear piercings and jewellery changes over the years. Her jewellery is also to die for, super pretty! Couldn’t recommend this place more. Keep smashing it ladies!
Fantastic experience: I have been to Black Sheep a good number of times now for both tattoos with Paula and peircings with Christina, both are very professional, the studio is meticulously clean and beautifully decorated. Both Paula and Christina tell you exactly what's happening if it's your first visit or not, both sent information and pictures before my visits and were willing to make any changes if I had wanted (I didn't). The ear curation I have is well balanced, the shape of my ear was taken in to consideration and the jewellery is beautiful. The tattoos I have are incredible, the art work is fantastic and Paula puts so much work in both before and during the sessions. Going to Black Sheep is a pleasure, it now feels like I'm visiting friends.
Fantastic experience: Paula is my absolute fave! Never had a bad time and we've become good friends over the years. Black Sheep is the best place to go for a great experience
Fantastic experience: Black sheep always makes me feel welcome and I love the energy of the place. Paula and Christina are brilliant owners and all the artists are so talented! Anyone who asks me for studio or artist recommendations, I always point them to Black Sheep!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been lucky to be tattooed a good few times and feel that Black sheep is one of the most welcoming and friendly studios, The Studio itself is a visual delight and the crew are diverse and cater for every style. Double thumbs up from me
Fantastic experience: The most incredible and amazing place to get tattooed. A welcome accepting space where art and creativity is at the centre of practice. So blessed to have met Paula and the team! And even more blessed to be a collector of Black Sheep’s work! ❤️
Fantastic experience: I’ve been getting tattooed by Paula for 7 years and she’s always been friendly, patient and understanding when I’ve felt a little nervous/anxious. Her studio is clean, welcoming & comfortable, you can tell her & Christina put a lot of effort into it I would 100% recommend it.
Fantastic experience: Paula is amazing. I love being at her studio. It’s a welcoming, safe, beautiful place. Can’t wait to come back.
Fantastic experience: I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Black Sheep. I had a tattoo from Paula, and everything from the communication, to the design, to the tattoo itself was amazing. I am beyond thrilled with the tattoo and she designed something that was exactly what I wanted. It's also now my most complimented tattoo, especially by other tattoo artists. Thank you Paula! The Studio is beautiful and has a wonderful atmosphere and everyone was very friendly. Will definitely be back.
Negative experience: Unfortunately the owner isn’t a nice person. I just want to get tattooed, I don’t need opinionated people grilling and lecturing me on my beliefs.
I’m opinionated online about racism, homophobia, transphobia and misogyny. Which one of these are you telling people you believe in? Have a great day! Paula x
Fantastic experience: Christina was super awesome. I was really nervous but she put me at ease straight away. So much so, I'm thinking of having some more piercings and even a tattoo!! Will definitely be back!
Fantastic experience: Had my ear lobes pierced by Christina today. I am very bad at getting pierced but she was very lovely, patient and very understandable! My ears look cute as hell! I'll definitely be back in a couple months!
Fantastic experience: I got my medusa done here and soooo happy with her. The Black sheep is great, lovely team. Christina is a babe.
Fantastic experience: I've been getting piercings and ink at Black Sheep for some time now and I can't express how much of a fantastic, welcoming studio that it is. Welcoming without being over familiar, professional without being cold— communication is clear, sound and you feel taken care of. Worth noting that I have multiple health conditions, I'm queer and neurodivergent; this studio accommodates me every time. I *know* I'm safe here; it's not just hot air or a sticker on the window. Christina is the most skilled piercer I've ever had. She's fun and friendly without forsaking any professionalism— she'll also tell you the truth about piercing placements, healing, and makes her own curations with unique jewellery. If she doesn't have something you love, she's more than happy to help to find something. The Pink Palace is a whole experience and so worth visiting. Paula is the most gentle tattoo artist I've ever had too; she'll tell you exactly what she's doing and why she's doing it. She communicates clearly, honestly, has great conversation without pressure, and creates from a place of passion, artistic expression and drive. Paula tattoos with connection and intent— she'll take care of you from ensuring you're comfortable with drinks, snacks and music. I really can't recommend her enough; she's put the work in and it shows. I also have been tattooed by Danica and Émilie who guest spot at Black Sheep. Danica's dynamic, shameless energy and Émilie's artistic, emotive expression are amazing to be around and I always look forwards to seeing them, tattoo or no tattoo. Black Sheep has personality— it's homely without demanding over-familiarity from clients and clean without feeling like a medical setting. If you're looking for somewhere with earnest, authentic artists, a community orientated vive and a comfortable experience, choose Black Sheep
Fantastic experience: Everything about my experiences at black sheep have been great! Everyone is really friendly and welcoming. I’ve been tattooed by Paula a couple of times and she always does an incredible job of turning ideas into real life art! Forever recommending her to people as she is one of the best tattoo artists I’ve had the pleasure of being tattooed by! Added a picture of one of my tattoos
Fantastic experience: I have visited Black Sheep so many times I've lost count! It is my go to shop for tattoos & piercings. Black Sheep is an experience! The attention to detail from the moment you step inside is second to none. The decor is a delight, the playlist is always on point & the general vibe is super friendly. This doesn't take away from the high level of cleanliness and professionalism expected at a tattoo shop. The shop is full of amazing artists specialising in numerous styles. I've been tattooed by Paula, Paddy, Mogg, Eloise, several guests and pierced a good few times by Christina. Each artist has made me feel comfortable, relaxed and made sure my experience has been memorable. The shop is also fully Vegan, queer friendly & accessible! What more could you want! Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Always a pleasant atmosphere highly recommend
Thank you Charlie!
Fantastic experience: Honestly, this place is amazing. Paddy had done several sessions on my arm now and I'm blown away each time. We discussed some ideas and themes and what he then came up with was incredible. Everyone is professional yet down to earth and so nice. The atmosphere is so friendly and relaxed, the music they play is spot on and I can't see myself ever going anywhere else for ink now!
Thank you so much, reviews like this mean the world to our artists.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this business, welcoming, kind, professional service. Just had a double helix piercing which was brilliant. Christine as always is so welcoming and professional. She puts me at ease and is always willing to order in lovely jewellery specific to the look I want. I now love my new piercing that compliment the tragus stud. It looks really lovely with a gradient style. I would totally recommend Christine she's a great piercer. She takes time to ensure your happy and get the look you want whilst also advising on what will work with your ear anatomy. This is just two days after the piercing and it looks fab.
Thank you for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Lovely shop, everyone was very kind and welcoming. Tula was very thorough in explaining everything before, during and after the tattoo. A really nice place to go get some work done!
Fantastic experience: I had a double helix piercing. Christina has such a lovely personality, she instantly puts you at ease. She is very friendly and professional, explaining and demonstrating everything she is doing. She is so patient and constantly checks in to make sure you are ok. Her studio is amazing, and I got a sticker for being brave! I will enthusiastically recommend her to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Made the whole piercing experience fun and easy. Christina was very reassuring and helpful - thank you!
Fantastic experience: I've now had my double nostrils and double eyebrows done by Christina and I wouldn't go to anyone else! Incredibly brilliant at what she does, super friendly and really puts you at ease - really high quality work I couldn't be happier! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: It's always a lovely experience getting pierced by Christina, her studio is immaculate and she's so friendly and enthusiastic.
Fantastic experience: Had a helix piercing with Christina and it was the best experience ever. I’m very nervous with piercings but I immediately felt calm and safe with Christina. She talked me through everything, gave me something to squeeze, and made sure we were both happy with the placement. Thought it would hurt a lot but I was laughing the whole time! I will be back!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Adam at Black Sheep! He was so friendly and welcoming and made a great goose that will live forever on my arm. Thanks so much Adam!
Fantastic experience: @thesilversean - Christina was amazing, put me at ease and was professional and helped select placement - which was perfect and type of stud for after. No regrets and highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Christina pierced my septum in April and changed my jewellery in June. The experience was great - she was super welcoming, made me feel comfortable, gave suitable advice on jewellery & the piercing has healed wonderfully. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Christina pierced my helix on my ear and I can honestly say shes the most professional piercer I have ever been to. She is meticulously clean and really knowledgeable about everything. Shes also incredibly kind and personable and makes you feel so welcome and cared for her in her lovely space. I can’t reccomend her enough.
Fantastic experience: I visited Christina yesterday for lobe and nostril piercings. She was super friendly and welcoming, very patient and helpful, took the time to explain, answered all my questions. Very methodical and on top of hygiene practices. I will definitely go back to her for any future piercings- highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Had my lip pierced with Christina from That Vegan Piercer on Saturday and was a great experience! The studio is beautiful and Christina was kind and patient with me throughout, from contacting online and my appointment. Will most definitely book with Christina again ✨ Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Great place, everyone's so friendly, Noemi, great artist and tattooist. Love my final design and recommend anyone to go here
Fantastic experience: Christina is honestly the BEST. I went in for a double ear curation for my wedding in July 2026. She was so welcoming and kind. I loved that she didn’t shy away from advising what I should and shouldn’t get in my ears due to my ear anatomy. Open talks about budget which is great. Such a warm environment, easy going. AMAZING vibes, amazing room. Have recommended to ALL of my friends. Ears are now done and will miss the appointments
Fantastic experience: Got a conch piercing today with Christina, best experience I’ve ever had with a piercer! She’s very professional and friendly. The room is beautifully decorated and fun which helps you to distract yourself from the needle! Couldn’t recommended enough!❤️
Fantastic experience: Such an easy, relaxing, well informed experience with Christina for my first ever piercing. Would highly recommend them!
Fantastic experience: Christina is who I now go to for all of my piercings, because she is so friendly, kind, and reassuring! I was a quite nervous to get my nipples done but she made it such a lovely experience, and now they’re my new favourite piercings
Fantastic experience: I had my earlobe pierced by Christina and the whole process was great! She is really friendly and totally put me at ease. We talked through what I wanted and we looked at some pictures and then when she marked my ear made sure I was happy with where it was going to be pierced. She then gave me great after care advise ( I strongly recommend buying the saline solution she has, dead easy and quick to clean the piercing and loads cheaper than boiling a kettle twice a day for 8 weeks to clean your ear!!) I absolutely strongly recommend her to anyone looking to get a piercing and I’m going back to black sheep to get some ink when I’ve saved upas well! Don’t hesitate!! Thanks Christina.
Fantastic experience: I had a nose piercing with Christina and she was brilliant. She was also super helpful after when I had a couple of questions. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great studio, Love my piercings. Cool and friendly staff. Hygienic and safe space. Will return for some ink.
Fantastic experience: Christina was great! She really put me at ease when I was nervous, and the piercings are perfect. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Christina put me totally at ease with her positive attitude and ensured I was happy with the placement of the piercing before going ahead and doing it. I was really nervous but she made me feel very comfortable and informed. Would definitely recommend - thank you Christina
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience with Christina - she really put me at ease in her bright, clean, relaxing environment. She explained everything in a respectful and amiable way. What fun to receive a sticker at the end! Thinking about the next piercing now
Fantastic experience: Over the years I've had multiple piercers and none of them have been as pleasant, fun or kind as Christina. I was reluctant to get another piercing due to former bad experiences; coming to Black Sheep was a totally new world. The shop is welcoming, comfortable and everybody's friendly too. Christina's easy to interact with, ready to answer questions and did my piercings without a single negative moment. I didn't know getting new shinies could be stress-free; the whole shop has a great vibe and I'll be coming back for sure. Thank you so much! Addition: came back today for a septum piercing and a jewellery upgrade— went just as smoothly as the first appointment. I can't wait to come in again
Fantastic experience: I had a my whole back tattooed by Stew a few months ago and honestly, it’s the best decision I’ve had. The tattoo is spectacular and is so elegant (I’ve had so many people compliment it). Stew was also so amazing during the session, especially when I would have coughing fits. Everyone is so nice and welcoming too! I recommend black sheep so much!
Fantastic experience: Went to Paddy for my first ever tattoo and he was an absolute pro! Really lovely to work with - he made sure I was calm and comfortable throughout, and made the process as painless as possible. Would definitely recommend to others
Fantastic experience: I had a helix and rook done by Christina, and it was probably my best piercing experience (I've had a lot of piercings!). The shop is very welcoming and clean, and Christina is friendly, calm, professional and really helpful with aftercare tips and supplying little extras. I'm very happy with my piercings, thank you! Would 100% recommend.
Fantastic experience: Came in to watch someone else have a piercing, and left with 2 new ones of my own!! Thanks Christina - I love my little stack, will be back to start one on the other ear soon!
Fantastic experience: Got pierced by Christina, opted for 2 helix piercings. Before the booking I had a great chat with her over Instagram, she provided a lot of advice and helped me book the appointment. Once there I had a wonderful appointment experience, from being greeted at the door, the health and safety checks right through to the piercing procedure. Christina is welcoming, reassuring and knowledgeable piercer. She talked through my options and helped me pick out beautiful jewellery. If you are looking a professional piercer, I'd 10/10 recommend Christina.
Fantastic experience: I mean, Christina, Could Not Have Been Lovelier I booked from a friend’s recommendation, and I cannot say how fun, friendly and comforting Christina was. Would not go anywhere else for further piercings/tattoos.
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Black Sheep! Lovely shop with positive energy and everyone there is so kind. I've been pierced by Christina who is very knowledgeable and friendly, she totally puts you at ease. I've also been tattooed by Paddy who is super talented and really easy to be around.
Fantastic experience: My 13 year old daughter loved getting her second lobe piercing. I was impressed with the whole experience and loved the decorations throughout the studio. At the same time I got my first tattoo. Paddy was absolutely amazing and I love it. So many people have commented on how pretty it is. I can’t stop admiring it!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and professional. Paddy is a fantastic artist and made me feel relaxed. Showed me the design and let me change the placing of the name. Will definitely be going back for more tattoos, we also discussed what would be good to cover up an old tattoo
Fantastic experience: Such a lovely studio with welcoming and knowledgeable staff. Christina was the nicest Piercer I've met - talked me through the process every step of the way in a really personable and empathetic way. 100% recommend!
Fantastic experience: Have been tattooed numerous times by the amazing Paula and have had piercings by the lovely Christina. I wouldn't go anywhere else. The studio is clean and welcoming for all, a safe space with stunning decor and an inclusive vibe. The artists make you feel totally at ease and right at home.
Fantastic experience: I've had several tattoos done by Paddy — including my very first — and each one has held deep emotional meaning. Paddy always listens to my stories with genuine interest and compassion, which makes the whole experience feel personal and valued. Even when I came in as a walk-in after receiving some bad news, the comfort and support I got from the whole team was incredible. I genuinely left feeling lighter and truly comforted. But it’s not just Paddy who keeps me coming back. All the artists and the owners make you feel completely welcome, like part of the gang. There's no judgment — just a real sense of camaraderie and kindness. Every piece of artwork I’ve got planned will be done here (unless they ban me for talking too much!).
Fantastic experience: I’m very happy to have just received my fourth tattoo from the wonderful Paula Castle. I’m absolutely in love with my new piece of art. Paula understood what I was after and created a perfect design to meet my needs. Black Sheep is a beautiful studio and Paula always makes me feel so very welcome. Stunning tattoo. Absolutely bang-on likeness of Gwyneth Paltrow as Margot Tenenbaum (The Royal Tenenbaums) Great chats. And a warm and relaxed studio vibe. Highly recommend ♥️
Fantastic experience: Christina is really lovely, and very professional. She talked me through pricing via insta messaging before I booked, and was able to book me in quickly. She explained aftercare and sent an email with all the info too. Very cool shop, really welcoming atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: What an experience! Georgina was incredible from start to finish. Right from the first messages, everything was so easy, smooth booking, and even parking right outside (a small detail, but such a bonus!). Walking into Black Sheep, we were instantly welcomed - it’s hands down the most inviting and friendly studio we’ve ever been to. Georgina took the time to tweak the design ever so slightly, making sure it was just right, and made the whole session super comfortable with great chat and an amazing vibe. It’s not just about the tattoo - it’s the whole process. And now I’ve got some absolutely beautiful art on me that captures the whole experience forever. Thank you so much Georgina and Black Sheep! We’ll definitely be back again. Nemo x
Fantastic experience: I got my nipples pierced here recently - it's a fantastic place - highly recommended! After being turned away at another studio for my nipples being "too small to pierce", here Christina took one look and said it was no problem. The whole experience start-to-finish was very chilled and simple - she listened carefully to my preferences and gave some helpful, honest advice. There was no pressure, only expertise... she took great care to get the positioning and jewellery exactly as I wanted and the actual pierces were very easy! Christina is amazing at putting you at your ease - she's cheerful, chatty, encouraging and clearly very experienced. I was pierced with longer titanium bar-bells, but she sent me away with a free pair of shorter ones to swap in myself later - they were included in a little pack which also had some sterile lubricant, antiseptic wipes and a barbell tightening tool. She gave some great after-care advice which was also emailed to me the following day (a great service, as it's hard to take everything in at the time!). The piercings have been really easy to look after (a few sprays of salt-water from an atomiser twice a day) and a few weeks later they look absolutely perfect - I couldn't be happier!
Fantastic experience: Got pierced by Christina and she was amazing—super professional, clean, and made me feel very comfortable. The piercing looks perfect. Highly recommend her if you want someone skilled and kind!
Fantastic experience: First time tattoo, had a perfect experience here. Very friendly, lovely environment and Natasha was excellent from start to finish. Will definitely be returning
Fantastic experience: I got 2 cartilage piercings done by Christina and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was very warm, welcoming and reassuring and her studio was just the absolute cutest and very clean. Definitely coming back to her for future piercings!
Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful time being pierced by Christina. She’s incredibly attentive, puts you at ease and makes you feel comfortable in her gorgeous pink piercing room. She opened up some old ear piercings I had that I’d not worn jewellery in for a long time and she did it with such ease / no pain. I then had two new ear piercings by her and she was super precise with jewellery placement and making sure the jewellery sits in the perfect place but when it come to piercing she was very quick and there was minimal pain. She talked through aftercare thoroughly with me and explained when jewellery will need to be downsized etc. The whole experience was just lovely and I highly recommend her!! Thank you Christina!!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic studio - professional and welcoming vibes and Christina's piercing studio is just gorgeous! Had the best time getting two piercings each with my partner - Christina made us both feel so comfortable and we had a fun time! It's worth checking out the premium jewellery options as she has some beautiful pieces which persuaded me to get an extra piercing in the session - thank you for accommodating us!
Fantastic experience: Christina never fails to make me feel comfortable and welcomed in her fabulous pink piercing room. I’m happy to say I have found my forever piercer! ✨♂️
Fantastic experience: Had such a lovely experience at Black Sheep! Paula was so friendly and welcoming and I didn't feel under any pressure to make decisions. I am over the moon with the work she did, especially as it was a cover-up. The design she came up with was beautiful, really well drawn and tattooed perfectly. Completely exceeded my expectations, thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Love love love this place, so welcoming and Christina is super sweet and gentle, I've had numerous piercings done here and each one Christina has made as quick and as painless as possible, they’ve all healed amazingly and i’m planning to come back again very soon! ✨
Fantastic experience: Christina is fab! I visited for the first time to get a couple of piercings for my 40th birthday, the shop is lush and Christina was just lovely. Really friendly & easy to chat to, quick & professional at her job, and bonus lots of cute jewellery to choose from. I’ll definitely be back for more!
Fantastic experience: Chose Christina for my first piercing (nipple) and I couldn’t have had a better experience. In fact I had such a good time I want to go back and get another despite the pain! She was incredibly friendly and reassuring from the start to the end, with fantastic communication before the appointment too. The room is decorated wonderfully and it’s clear Christina is a true professional from how well she put me at ease and talked to me throughout, giving advice and being very attentive. Thank you so much! :)
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Black Sheep for some time now to be tattooed and love how friendly the place is, it’s the best tattoo/piercing place I’ve been to. Recently I went to get a piercing from Christina, and it went so well! I had my septum pierced 16 years ago (left photo) and it was pierced painfully through my cartilage. I have always hated the placement but was too traumatised to ever try again. After finally deciding to brave it again I went to Christina and explained how scared I was of being pierced through the cartilage again and she was great about it, I was put at ease right away and of course she pierced it correctly. Thanks to Christina and the non binary Squishmallow I had to squeeze.. I’m in love with my new septum piercing and love the fact I can also double up if I want to and wear both my new one and my old at the same time :) See the placement difference below.
Fantastic experience: Christina gave me two fantastic lobe piercings recently. She was very sweet and reassuring throughout, making sure the piercings were even and in the perfect position, especially the one near where I had some scar tissue. She even found the exact style of stud I wanted and ordered it in beforehand. Thanks so much!
Fantastic experience: Christina did the most lovely helix piercing for me recently using some gorgeous jewellery she ordered in. Absolutely wonderful service, super clean snd welcoming studio over all and the piercing room is so cutely decorated. Will definitely be back ☺️
Fantastic experience: had my first tattoos here a few weeks ago, they are absolutely stunning. I gave Holli a sorta vague idea months ago and when I turned up the designs were perfect and better than I could've imagined. The shop itself was also fantastic, a great general vibe within the shop with all the artists being so lovely. Cannot fault black sheep at all I can't wait to get more tattoos here in the future!
Fantastic experience: I’m so pleased and couldn’t be happier with my piercing (vertical labret). Christina was absolutely amazing, so lovely and made me feel really relaxed throughout the whole experience. Her studio is the nicest, coolest and cosiest space; I can’t wait to go back to downsize and book in to get my next piercing. I would definitely highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Christina is amazing!! So lovely, made me feel so comfortable and I laughed through my whole appointment. Gorgeous studio, too! Recommending to everyone and will definitely be back soon! Thank You!!!!! x
Fantastic experience: Christina couldn't have been more lovely and welcoming! I was anxious to get my first nipple piercing, but she really put me at ease. I was keen to find an independent, LGBTQ+ friendly business to get my piercing done, and Black Sheep was all this, plus vegan and female owned! Couldn't be happier.
Fantastic experience: I am more than happy with my spontaneous new piercings! Pre-lobe, forward helix and septum. It was a good Wednesday I had a great time and they are all healing beautifully. Thank you very much Christina
Fantastic experience: A really positive septum piercing experience! Christina totally put me at ease - really good communication and kind and gentle in the process! recommend for any piercing! Studio is lush too! I would definitely look into for tattoos too!
Fantastic experience: Christina was absolutely amazing! My piercings are healing well and she made me feel so comfortable throughout, I can’t wait to get some more done with her Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I got a conch piercing with Christina just over 3 weeks ago and had the best experience! The whole appointment was so professional and super friendly and I felt so comfortable and relaxed? The studio was so pretty and clean with a great range of jewellery you can get pierced with so it looked great straight away! The piercing is healing so well already. Amszing experience and would recommend to anyone!!
Fantastic experience: Last month I got my nostril pierced by Christina to create symmetrical nostril piercings. I'd previously had it done by someone else who pierced it far too low. This created a build up of scar tissue inside the nostril which affected how the labret back sat when Christina pierced it. She understood the issue and repierced it no problem. She also understood the need to get the placement right and didn't mind taking time to line it up and wiping the dot off when it wasn't quite right. It was the most relaxed I've felt when getting pierced. I'll definitely be coming back for both piercings and tattoos. Everyone was so friendly. My mum and I really loved the welcoming vibe.
Fantastic experience: Very happy with my new piercing by Christina. Really relaxed, friendly and comfortable studio, lots of good advice given, and my piercing turned out great. Will definitely be back for more!
Fantastic experience: I lovvved my experience with Christina getting my septum pierced!! She made me feel so welcome and calm and comfortable and her clear expertise made it as painless as possible! Would highly recommend. Thank you :) :)
Fantastic experience: Was tattooed by the lovely Holli today. I am so happy with my tattoo and will definitely book with her again. The studio is very cosy with amazing artwork everywhere you look. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend Holli and the studio.
Fantastic experience: Christina is an awesome piecer. I had my tragus done yesterday. The studio is beautiful and clean. She has an excellent choice of studs to choose from. Provides great aftercare advice and follow up. She made me feel very relaxed. A brilliant go to place for your piercings in Bristol.
Fantastic experience: Had my first ever tattoo session the other day with Pura and couldn't recommend her enough. Immediately felt at ease with her attention to detail and commitment to getting everything perfect, not only that, but the artwork is so stunning I can't stop looking at it. Can't wait to go back for more. The studio itself is super chill and has a really friendly vibe, even the bathroom is so fun to look at. 10/10 Experience!
Fantastic experience: Got tattooed by Paddy and had a fantastic experience. I’ve been tattooed by a few different artists in and around Bristol but I feel like I’ve found a ‘golden’ tattoo artist in Paddy to complete my sleeve. Thank you and will see you again soon. The store is great, a really positive and creative space with other friendly artists. I will be back soon for my next tattoo.
Fantastic experience: Amazing piercer. So friendly and professional, puts you right at ease. Best piercer I've been to and has been the easiest piercing I've had to deal with. Would highly recommend and will be coming here for all my other piercings!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic. Paddy was a dream. Gave him an idea and he made it far better than I could imagine. He’s so talented and the attention to detail is amazing! I can’t believe it’s mine! Thank you so much. My husband also had a tattoo from paddy’s flash and I honestly think it’s the best tattoo he has. Wonderful work, great guy and fabulous tattoos. The salon is also light, airy and interesting. So much to look at and relaxed. Definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Christina was so lovely and so helpful! Very happy I went to her and feel a lot better after getting my piercings checked and changed as they were causing me some worry (from a different piercer). She gave me lots of information and would definitly go there again! :)
Fantastic experience: I have had several piercings done with Christina at the Black Sheep studio and she is always lovely, clean, respectful and has a beautiful studio! Every time I have had a piercing with her she has always provided great detail and makes you feel completely comfortable! I will definitely be going back for more ☺️
Fantastic experience: Got my first tattoo with Natasha and it's class, exactly what I wanted. The whole experience was lovely, the tattoo was really well designed taking inspiration from what I had initially asked for but made much better and she spoke through the whole process behind the design and her recommendations with me which were all great. The shop was nice, clean, easy to get to and everyone else was quite chill.
Fantastic experience: After browsing Bristol tattoo studios, I found Black Sheep! I had no intention of impulsively getting my nose re-pierced, but the positive atmosphere this studio promoted was so inviting. Booking the appointment online was so easy. My piercing appointment was so well handled by Christina. For a nervous person like me, I had no anxiety at all. The studio is so bright and welcoming with a very relaxed vibe. The piercing room itself was so clean, and is just a wonderful high impact of pink decor absolutely everywhere. After deciding on placement, I was fully distracted by the friendly conversation and of course the emotional support mouse given to me to squeeze if I needed to (he did not get squeezed). After the piercing, I was given some follow up aftercare both on the day and again via email on the following day. The follow-up email was a nice touch, and I will certainly be booking again in the future <3
Fantastic experience: I had a warm welcoming from that vegan piercer Christina when I came in. She is an adorable and friendly personality with piercing skills. She made everything easy with swapping my jewlery on my face due to inflammation caused by metal sensitivity. Trust me, if you are going for first piercing, just book with her. She just knows how to do it!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Black Sheep and lovely Tash for my first “proper” tattoo. Tash thoughtfully designed a beautiful Vetch for me and gave me all the info I needed to prepare and relax during the tattoo. Aftercare advice was perfect and I love my Vetch!
Fantastic experience: Christina was really friendly and accommodating, chatting like we have known each other for years which really is reassuring. The room was clean and bright, all products were opened infront of me which was reassuring to know everything was sterile. Easy and flexible booking, would absolutely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Christina was so lovely. Warm and welcoming and took time to explain everything. Piercing was fairly painless and quick. She talked through all the steps and aftercare. Really looked after us :)
Fantastic experience: Absolutely in love with my new scaffold piercing! Christina was incredibly professional and made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. I can't wait for it to heal! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
