Black Market Tattoos

Fantastic experience: Really friendly tattoo studio. The space itself is really cool & all the guys in there are always super welcoming. Katie always looks after me and does exactly what I’m after every time! She takes her time and is never in a rush. Any little tweaks are never too much to ask!

Fantastic experience: I’ve now had 2 portraits of my beloved pet dogs done by Del May. Del’s tattoo artistry is 2nd to none … it’s simply stunning ! Both of my portraits are black ‘n’ white and Del’s ability to make them so realistic and true to life through his attention to detail is unbelievable. Del’s also a super friendly, chilled and relaxed guy … as are all the guys at Black Market Tattoos … which makes the experience all the more personal. I can’t recommend this studio and Del enough ... and will no doubt be returning in the near future !

Fantastic experience: Amazing place with even better artists. Clean and safe. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Our experience was great. Brett was very welcoming, funny and made us feel comfortable. Answered all our questions and inquiries. Was very patient and accommodating. Overall great experience and can’t wait to come back Love Ty and Andy

Fantastic experience: I’ve had both my leg and my sleeve done by Del May, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. His attention to detail and ability to bring portraits to life in black and white is unreal. Every session was professional, relaxed, and worth every minute. If you’re after truly realistic work, Del is the artist to go to can’t recommend him enough

Fantastic experience: Black Market Tattoos did an amazing job, I walked in and got a spot the same day with design I picked myself. I asked them to edit it little and they did a perfect job. Russ did my tattoo and he was everything you'd want from a tattoo artist.

Fantastic experience: Always have a great time here - clean, friendly, and incredible artists!

Fantastic experience: I went for my first tattoo here and what a fantastic experience. The atmosphere at Black Market tattoos is great and the artists are extremely knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely loved my experience here. Such a friendly environment, and all the artists were welcoming. Really calm atmosphere, and Russty was phenomenal.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Black Market Tattoos. A welcoming, professional and clean place to have your tattoo done. Alex did my tattoo recently and did an amazing job. He was a really friendly, was able to put me at ease and is highly skilled in his profession. The tattoo was designed by him and although he was very open to feedback I was instantly in love with the design that he came up with. The tattoo was really well done, so precise and detailed. Not only was he a fantastic artist but it was obvious he goes the extra mile to ensure that cleanliness and cross infection is to a high standard. Wouldn’t go anywhere else in future.

Fantastic experience: I was tattooed by Mike last month, who was fantastically reassuring, as it was my first tattoo. His aftercare instructions were great and nothing was too much trouble. He's always available for bookings and questions via social media. Lovely place, and I can't wait to get my second tattoo done soon.

Fantastic experience: Great shop , great bloke , thanks again Alex

Fantastic experience: Very good

Fantastic experience: Really quality work

Negative experience: DO NOT GO HERE ! The artist that I worked with is unpredictable, unreliable and unprofessional. Glen and I agreed on a three quarter sleeve tattoo. I proposed my ideas and HE AGREED to work with me. He tattooed my first piece. I paid him in full, on time plus 40% tip for his work. When it was time to move on to the next piece, he unexpectedly texted me insults and then canceled our agreement. If you are looking for professional work, this is NOT the place.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love you guys, have had all four of my tattoos here done and theres more to come
