★★★★★“Popped in to black thorn yesterday while needing some time to kill. Michael came out and asked me what I was looking for if anything In particular, I asked to look through their flash and spend a nice while flipping through all the books. After a wee while Micheal came out and we discussed some of the flash I liked and my goals with my tattoos, after some helpful advice we picked a sacred heart design and got ready. This was my first tattoo but I felt so at ease with everything, Michael explained everything thoroughly and made sure I was comfortable when we started tattooing. The whole thing was a really lovely experience with lots of chatting to Michael and fee and my tattoo came out great! I highly recommend for anyone who's new to tattoos or just nervous about it. The studio is very inclusive and had TV's playing shows and movies and everything's super relaxing!! My tattoo was £180 I then got some tattoo balm for £5 and gave a tip. I hope to return soon and have recommended the studio to my friends!! Thank you so much”
★★★★★“We had the best experience at Black Thorn tattoo! My husband and I decided we wanted to get a small tattoo to remember our trip. I reached out asking the best time for a walk in. Meg reached back out and made the process so simple from start to finish! She got us booked for a time that fit our crazy travel schedule, the day we arrived she was thorough in reviewing the design and giving her advice as an artist, and was the perfect person to be the first to tattoo my husband. We both enjoyed our experiences very much and are in love with our new tattoos! Thank you Meg!”
★★★★★“On the recommendation of a friend, I recently got my first ever tattoo here. I was nervous beforehand, but the whole team was friendly, encouraging, inclusive and professional. The studio has a lovely vibe, I also got chatting to some other people who were coming in for their own tattoos and swapped stories! Thank you Black Thorn Tattoo for the great experience, and special shout out to Meg for her work: I've received many compliments on my tattoo already. :)”
