Reviews of Black Sheep

A. G.

I was tattooed by Paula yesterday, I won a voucher in one of her charity raffles which was lovely, for the tattoo - I gave an idea of what I wanted and trusted her to work her magic with it! From the moment I stepped into Black Sheep it felt warm and welcoming. It was good vibes, and the studio is beautifully decorated and has so much character, the more you look the more there is to see. Paula absolutely nailed the design, just like magic she knew exactly what I had envisioned and it was tattooed with lots of love and care, and you can absolutely tell that from looking at it. I love it so much and I'm so glad it's mine! Paula made sure I was doing okay throughout which was lovely too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Black Sheep to my friends or anyone else for beautiful, custom work. Thanks so much, I will definitely be back!

I had an all day session at Black Sheep with Ania, I thought the studio was gorgeous and all the artists were inclusive, understanding and welcoming. They had so much knowledge about tattooing, and despite being tattooed before by other artists, I still learned new things about tattoo aftercare. Thanks so much!

R. P.

Best tattoo shop I have been too! Such a lush atmosphere and the artists are all so great. Couldn’t recommend more :)

So much thought, care and attention has been put into both the studio and the process of getting a tattoo, making the entire experience really lovely. Also, I’ve now got a wonderful piece of art on my leg.

A.

I've been tattooed by Paula and not gonna lie I was scared because after pandemic I felt really anxious about meeting new people but couldn't choose better tattoo shop to feel more welcomed than Black Sheep Tattoo:) I'm a silent person and nobody force me to speak or feel unwell because of that. Obviously can't forget to mention my tattoo is amazing! Love it every day even more. Ps: Can't forget Paula's calming voice while singing! Will be back soon hopefully 🙏🏻

Absolutely brilliant studio with top quality service

E. H.

Had a tattoo done by Sam Murphy today and it was one of the best tattoo experiences. The studio has a relaxed atmosphere with great artwork all over the walls. Everyone was welcoming and friendly, and most importantly, my tattoo is epic. Great to have the option of numbing spray and also second skin instead of cling film. 100% will be back! Thank you!

R. C.

Highly recommend this place!

R. C.

This was my second time with Paula and, as before, she was incredible. Paula puts your comfort first, is a fantastic artist and all round lovely person. I cannot wait to get this piece finished off in a few months and I am sure it will not be my last time visiting Black Sheep.

R. F.

I have been tattooed by Paula several times over the past five or so years, she's so good that I travel to wherever she is based! Her art style is beyond gorgeous. I always feel comfortable when being tattooed by Paula; she is always mindful of how her customers are doing and is happy for you to take a quick break if need be. The studio itself is welcoming and friendly, and decorated beautifully.

C. K.

Had a tattoo here today, it was an amazing experience. Paula did my memorial tattoo of my puppy who passed and the tattoo itself looks so accurate and beautiful, it’s like a lifelong picture and meant the world to me ♥️. The tattoo parlour is also welcoming, friendly with lots of really interesting pictures/ paintings and beautiful plants. The aftercare pack is so thoughtful with gifts in it. This is a truly incredible place with lovely tattoo artists and would highly recommend. Can’t thank Paula enough.

J. P.

I had the most amazing experience from the moment I arrived. Everyone was so friendly and the space is so inclusive, I felt totally at ease. Paula is an incredible artist and I am over the moon with the tattoo she designed for me, I felt as if she truly cared and wanted do her absolute best for me! I left not only with an amazing tattoo but the feeling as if I had spent the day in someone's living room chilling, chatting and laughing. Thank you Paula and all the members of staff for an amazing experience!

I recently had a tattoo at Black Sheep by Paula. The shop is wonderful, clean and welcoming. Paula was very accommodating and helped me feel as relaxed as possible, she was friendly, chatty and helped me feel at ease plus her work is absolutely incredible! I will definitely be going back in the near future, highly recommended!

T. N.

All of the artists here are incredible and take such pride in their work. Paula has created a safe and inclusive space for all customers. I have and will continue to recommend Black Sheep to anyone looking for a tattoo. The studio has a fantastic atmosphere, is super clean, with amazing artwork, plants and music. Also the fact it is vegan and eco friendly is amazing! I am definitely looking forward to getting more work done here.

L. C.

I had the pleasure of getting one of Paula’s Crying hearts and aside from the sheer talent and creativity in her designs, the experience of being tattooed by her was honestly a joy. You feel like an old friend in her presence, Paula and all the other artists present including this weeks two guest artists, were all so welcoming, kind and friendly. The aftercare is second to none, I walked away confident my tattoo would remain for years to come as beautiful and as detailed as it is today, following the guidance recommended. I travelled via 4 trains, a 3 hour journey (one way) to get to Black Sheep and I would take twice the journey to do it again. Highly recommend any one of the artists and the warming atmosphere they all provide. Thank you Black Sheep 🖤

N. M.

Paula and the whole team of artists are utterly incredible! I’ve had two tattoos done by the amazing Paula and it was a chilled experience, with great chat and studio has a lovely vibe. Everyone is so welcoming and makes you feel comfortable straight away. Very clean across the whole studio, can’t fault it. 100% recommend and looking to book my third tattoo there soon!

L. D.

I had one of the most wonderful tattoo experiences here with Paula at Black Sheep. All of the staff were positive, kind, professional and so so talented. My appointment was postponed due to C-19, but it was worth the wait. My design idea was perfectly brought to life and the way in which it was tattooed was in such a brilliant way that I have had no scarring problems, an easy recovery of my skin and clear aftercare advice sent through, along with products. If you're debating about making a booking - do it! It'll be one of the best experiences you can have being tattooed!

A. H.

Such a friendly and welcoming studio, all the artists and staff make you feel at ease as soon as you step through the door. I’ve had a few tattoos here and am always happy to come back. Thank you!

L. T.

Black Sheep is everything that a tattoo studio should be. From the very beginning booking my tattoo was efficient and straightforward and communication with my artist Paula was fantastic. The studio itself was impeccably decorated and the general vibe was very welcoming and friendly. Paula is an exceptional tattoo artist, very affable and warm. My appointment went by so fast we were busy chatting and I left with an amazing piece of work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this studio to anyone, the trip down from Birmingham was well worth it.

L. S.

I had the best experience at Black Sheep. Casey tattooed one of her flash designs on me and it came out beautifully and healed painlessly. All the other artists were supportive and friendly and I love the environment the owner, Paula, has created. I have been tattooed in three different studios and this is the safest and most relaxed I have ever felt whilst getting a tattoo. Will definitely be going back for more!

B. A.

The most gorgeous studio filled with the most beautiful souled artists. A place to find both your inner worth and comfort (and a stunning pink bathroom!) I have been tattooed by Paula, Casey and Sam who have all been above and beyond to ensure the experience was nothing but a pleasure from start to finish. I appreciate their care and commitment and respect them all hugely. As an anxious person this place helps me to feel at ease and most importantly, safe.

S. L.

I’ve had two tattoos and a rework with Paula Castle at Black Sheep and I’ve recommended her and her studio to nearly every person I’ve met. The studio has such a relaxed atmosphere and I feel so comfortable and safe with Paula. She puts her client’s comfort above all else and it’s clear that she lives and breathes what she does. The whole process is so simple and without the anxiety or pretence that lots of other studios have. Paula is a total and complete professional who is more than happy to share her years of experience to create the most beautiful piece of art with you. Her work is stunning and my tattoos by her are complimented regularly. I would urge anyone contemplating contacting Paula about a tattoo idea to go for it as her books fill very fast and for good reason: she’s one of the best in the industry. ❤️

J. B.

Paula was lovely, from the initial discussions around the designs and ideas to the actual tattooing process. She was so gentle while working that the pain was minimal during the 3 hours. Can’t wait to return for my next tattoo!

G. L.

Black Sheep is the coolest studio I’ve ever been to. The atmosphere is always so lovely and everyone is absolutely angelic. I’ve been tattooed by Paula, Casey and Sam Murphy and every experience I’ve had with each of them has been awesome, they’re all such lovely and interesting people and I always leave feeling incredibly positive. The artists here genuinely love what they do and their passion shows in their work and attitudes, you can tell they really care about good, clean tattooing, solid aftercare, and just making sure your entire experience is positive and comfortable from start to finish. I love how inclusive and welcoming the space is, and I love that they make their values and morals clear. As a non-binary, bisexual person, I feel super welcome and I never feel that I have to hide or minimise any part of myself when I’m at Black Sheep, which is such an amazing feeling. I can’t wait to get tattooed by more of the artists here ❤️❤️❤️

C. D.

I've been to Black Sheep a couple of times and I wouldn't go anywhere else. The studio is friendly, clean and so safe; the artists are so professional and care about your well being above anything else. The artists all have such a beautiful range of style there really is no need to look beyond this studio for any and every style you could want. Paula has done a phenomenal job at creating a safe and ethical studio for her clients, I can’t recommend her studio or her art enough. I can’t wait to come back in October to see Casey for the first time!

A. R.

Easily the best experience I've ever had getting tattooed. The studio is such a friendly & relaxed place to be, it makes the whole tattooing process so much more enjoyable. All of the staff were lovely, and Paula was an absolute gem. Delighted with my tattoo & can't wait to book in for more!

C. D.

Stew and all the staff at The Black Sheep are all friendly! Stew is a great tattoo artist 💞

c. K.

Had a beautiful tattoo done by Sam Murphy, her work is wonderful and she made me feel right at home. By far the best experience I’ve ever had. The studio is beautiful and the vibes are immaculate. I felt safe, welcome and understood. When discussing ideas and designs with their studio manager Cam. He was very understanding, knowledgeable and helpful through the whole process and helped point me in the right direction. BlackSheep is by far the best studio around. IMO! 💕

L. T.

A wonderfully friendly studio that is both beautiful and ethical. Home to exceptional artists who are both incredibly warm and highly professional. You are always made to feel comfortable and can guarantee excellent customer service at all times. It is a true pleasure every time we visit. I look forward to coming back in May! 🌱🖤🌱

A. R.

Black Sheep is honestly one of the nicest tattoo studios I've ever been to! The shop is beautiful and very spacious, and everyone was absolutely lovely! I was tattooed by Paula, who made me feel so comfortable and was really fast and gentle. I got my sternum tattooed in a half day sitting and was really nervous beforehand, but she and the rest of the staff all made me feel so at ease. My tattoo healed beautifully following Paula's aftercare advice and is easily one of my favourite pieces and has really given me a confidence boost. I can't recommend Black Sheep highly enough!

I. T.

Visited for the first time today for a tattoo by Sam Carver and I cannot recommend them highly enough! The whole process was easy start to finish, all staff were very friendly and Sam made me feel very safe and welcome throughout. I'm so happy with the tattoo I received and I wouldn't hesitate to return for another tattoo. I love the fact that the studio is environmentally friendly, another great reason to come back! Thank you!

M.

I live in Cardiff and would happily cross the border every single time just to get tattooed here! Have been tattooed by Casey and Holli and they were both lovely. The studio is beautiful, cosy, and every artist or client I've spoken to was super nice. Full of talented people!

K. H.

Had an amazing experience from start to end! When I arrived at the shop I was made to feel welcome and relaxed from the start. It was all really safe with masks being worn by everyone, hand sanitising on entering. I was tattooed by Paula who was great, checking in with me to make sure I was ok whilst being tattooed. I can’t recommend it enough!

J. L.

I have been tattooed by Paula and Casey here and they are both so lovely and welcoming. Walking into a tattoo shop can feel quite daunting but at Black sheep it isn't. Paula reworked a tattoo I had on my arm for a long time that I was so embarassed of and I am so so happy with what she did, I no longer feel the need to hide my arm away. I would recommend Black Sheep to anyone wanting a tattoo and will definitely be back. So friendly, welcoming and clean and somewhere you feel safe!

S. B.

Beautiful tattoo studio with a friendly, welcoming and professional team. I was tattooed by Paula who was super lovely and made me feel totally at ease! I would recommend and will be back!

t.

Paula is incredibly talented and has always made me feel super comfortable. She explained everything to me, even showed me all the equipment before we started and kept making sure I was okay throughout the process. I have three tattoos by Paula and I get so many compliments on them!

g.

I had my first visit to Black Sheep yesterday and was tattooed by Sam M. The tattoo is perfect, the studio is awesome and one of the most relaxing studios I’ve Been to. All the artists I met (and am booked in with in the near future) are all lovely and welcoming. This is one of the few studios where I would happily be tattooed by all of the artists as the level of talent is amazing. I can’t wait to got back. See you soon.

J. P.

I had my very first tattoo with Ania here, and she was excellent! I was nervous and excited, but she and the whole environment put me at ease and all the artists made me feel very welcome. Ania was very precise and careful to get the positioning of my tattoo perfect before starting. I'm so pleased with the result (a sword from Lord of the Rings) and I'll definitely be coming back for further work. Thanks again! John

n.

Paula is the best tattoo artist I've ever been to. Paula is super friendly, accommodating and caring, Paula always ensures that you are happy and comfortable throughout the tattoo process. The other members of staff at Black Sheep Tattoo are always friendly too. I would highly recommend Paula and the rest of the gang at Black Sheep. I travel from Cardiff, Wales especially to have tattoos by Paula.

L. B.

The studio is so beautiful and welcoming. I've been tattooed by Paula and couldn't recommend her enough. She is patient, welcoming and when it comes to the main focus of tattoos, her work is impeccable. If you love neo-traditional style, definitely check out her work.

T.

Went in with my friend to receive our first ever tattoos. I had an appointment booked with Eloise and was rather apprehensive as I was quite unfamiliar with the process. Eloise was incredibly accomodating and made sure I was calm and that I understood the process before she began. She was also able to fit my friend in for an earlier appointment right after me. Both of our tattoos came out absolutely outstanding. Staff have also been incredibly friendly and welcoming to all of our questions via e-mail. Would definitely recommend. :)

L. a.

Totally awesome!!!! If black sheep tattoos were an album it would be all killer, no filler. Amazing artist and lovely person. Don’t bother with the 1 * reviews. Some anti vaxxers got hold of the review page as Paula is protecting herself and others… and they have chucked their toys out the pram 😂 Get a tattoo here! You won’t regret it 💛

J. D.

Just amazing!! I was tattooed by Sam, he was professional, down to earth, you could have a good laugh with him and most importantly the tattoo I have is just amazing, I am very very happy with it :-). As you can probably guess I am so happy, I have designed another two tattoos and will most certainly be back in the very near future! You guys rock says the Pigeon!!

E. P.

Black Sheep is a very relaxed and welcoming studio. I felt very comfortable and safe whilst getting tattooed there. Paula is a fabulous artist and all round lovely person and I highly recommend her. The other artists are also lovely too when they came over to chat. All in all Black Sheep has a great group of artists!

H. M.

Been getting tattooed by Paula for a few years now. Always made to feel welcome and safe and leave with some incredible art. She’s got a great team of artists who work with her and is such a lovely shop. Highly recommend her or any of the other artists!

L. W.

I honestly wouldn't go anywhere else for tattoos! I have had 5 done at Black Sheep since they opened and I will be going there for many years to come. I am always put right at ease when I arrive and while I'm being tattooed, all the artists and staff are super friendly and have a laugh with each other and you. I'm in love with all the tattoos I have had done and cannot wait to get more, couldn't recommend enough💖

A. S.

The best tattoo I've ever had, and the best tattooing experience I've ever had. Not a bad word to say about anyone in the studio, from the first email to the last piece of aftercare advice it was excellent. Will be back for more post-pregnancy! Thanks Paula ❤

z.

I have had several tattoos done by Ania Bodz and every time she’s been nothing but friendly, professional and an expert in her craft. The art is amazing and I am in love with all of my tattoos. The studio itself is clean, tidy and an accepting, open and friendly space. I follow all of the Black Sheep artists and they are all amazing at what they do. I highly recommend checking out Black Sheep and getting tattooed there 😁 Cannot wait to get more!

E. C.

Paula gave me one of my absolute favorite tattoos. It’s now been healed and settled for 3 years and still looks fantastic. On top of the high quality work, Paula is also an absolute sweetheart and extremely dedicated to her craft. Would absolutely get tattooed by her again.

S. P.

I've been coming to Black sheep for a few years now and it's like going to a second home, Paula has done the majority of my tattoos and Casey has done one and I am in love with them. the quality and care is above and beyond! 💜everyone always makes me feel super welcome and the every body is welcome and LGBTQIA+ inclusively makes all the difference 🥰 Thank you 💜💜

S. M.

For starters, the studio is absolutely beautiful and very welcoming to all. The artists are insanely talented and have a great team culture between them. I felt looked after, not only by my own artist, but by all the artists and staff. Open and honest advice without being condescending. I've had 2 appointments in the last month, and have another next month so I feel like that speaks for itself.

J. H.

Cannot stress enough I absolutely loved this studio. I felt cared for and listened to from entering to leaving. Fabulous experience. The studio ethos, environment and just the overall feel and care for people getting inked was incredible. Definitely a very safe, welcoming space for all. Paula is an amazing artist, love my finished tattoo!

J. G.

I’ve been tattooed by Paula 3 times now and every single time she blows me away. Her talent is unparalleled and the atmosphere within black sheep is always welcoming and almost healing, despite the tattoo needles!! I recommend her to everyone as Black Sheep is literally amazing!!

K. P.

The artists at Black Sheep have create an incredibly warm and inviting atmosphere which makes being tattooed less daunting for sure. I have been to studios where you're barely acknowledged and conversations just happen over your head while you lie there. This has never been the case at Black Sheep. Always been made to feel at ease and comfortable both by the artist I'm being tattooed by and anyone else in on that day. I have been tattooed by Paula on a number of occasions and every time I walk away in awe of what she has created. She's easy to talk to, easy to approach with any issues and always makes sure you walk away with the best after care advice. The studio itself is clean, comfortable and all artists follow the covid guidance. This puts you at ease that they're following ALL health and safety advice for tattoo studios to keep you safe whenever you're tattooed here (in and out of covid times) Would highly recommend Black Sheep to anyone and everyone.

L. E.

I cannot praise Black Sheep and all those that work there enough. I have had tattoos from Paula Castle & Sam Murphy and I am currently booked in with Casey Marie (I’m making my way through every artist slowly but surely). The studio itself is stunningly decorated, as clean and professional as you could wish and expertly managed both pre and post covid. It’s a studio you want to hang out in and can make your whole day sitting seem like it’s only half an hour. The artists are all so talented, hard working and the most inclusive and accepting bunch of people. From start to finish my experiences with Black Sheep have been nothing but amazing and I’m already thinking about when I can come back for another tattoo.

z. a. K.

Amazing place! All of the artists are extremely nice and chill, making everyone coming in and getting a tattoo feel comfortable and welcome. The place is clean and has a great vibe too. My tattoo artist was Ania and she did an amazing job. Would really recommend this place to anyone with high standards!!

L. F.

Incredibly warm and friendly place, I'm definitely going back for all my tattoos here

C. V.

Everybody at Black Sheep is fantastic! These artists care about your safety, hygiene and maintain an outstanding level of Covid safety! Getting tattooed by Casey was one of the best experiences I’ve had out of all the tattoos I’ve had. I would recommend Black Sheep to anybody and 100% plan on returning.

E. K.

Paula is just the best, not only is she passionate about her art but she is also passionate about your experience with her. Always makes you feel welcomed and in safe hands. The vibe in the studio is alway great, so friendly! Great experience from start to finish, clean, Safe, profession and also cool as hell!!!

C. H.

Casey did a great job with my tattoo and was super friendly (along with everyone else I met whilst there). The studio (and bathroom) is beautiful and I felt very comfortable and safe the entire time I was there which is especially important during covid times! Also, afterwards, I ordered from Casey’s store and she was kind enough to send the bottle I left behind at the studio which made my day! 10/10 service, would highly recommend!

O. F.

Paula tattooed me. She is very friendly and professional. Making sure you’re aware of what she’s doing and checking everything is just how you want it (colour, design, placement). Also very clean and informative on aftercare. Would 100% book with her again

J. B.

Such a beautiful, professional and friendly studio! Added bonus that they're so ethically aware and vegan too! Never felt so comfortable getting a tattoo before and it's not too far a journey from Cardiff either 💜. Absolutely adore my tattoos done by Paula!!!

R. J.

Black Sheep tattoo is an amazing shop with some genuinely lovely people working there. You feel safe and secure the whole time you are there, and the aftercare is second to none! I travel from Herts to get tattooed there, this was my 4th visit, and honestly, I never want to go anywhere else! Paula was my artist and she is incredible. Not only is she super talented, she is the most gentle tattooer I have ever been to and she makes you feel totally at ease and feeling fabulous by the time your appointment is up. And to top it off they have the campest toilet in Britain, it really is a site to behold! Couldn't recommend Black Sheep, Paula and her staff enough. Rosie. A very satisfied customer. Xxxxxx

J. G.

What a lovely studio, great atmosphere and very welcoming. Paula is an amazing artist who took the time to make sure the design I had was exactly what I wanted. Would recommend Black Sheep and will definitely be back. 😊

R. N.

I've had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Paula multiple times over the last few years and the reason why I continue returning is because not only is Paula an amazing artist, but the studio vibe is always so friendly and welcoming. From the initial communication to the appointment you are put at ease and know exactly what to expect. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an amazing tattoo that lasts 😊

S. M.

can’t wait to return! Wouldn’t go anywhere else in Bristol! Professional to the highest standard!! And one of the best tattooing experiences. Paula and her team absolutely smashing it, all the guys are super welcoming and lovely!

S. R.

I was tattooed by Sam M, she was absolutely lovely and very professional. The studio is really lovely and clean. I felt safe whilst being tattooed. I'm booked in again in October and I can't wait! Also easy to get to from the motorway and easy to find parking.

M. L.

Was tattooed by Paula Castle, great experience and love the tattoo. Very friendly staff and lovely environment. I have darker skin and find it harder to find tattoo artists who do colour for my skin tone but the tattoo came out amazing!

R. L.

Dead welcoming studio, it’s a lovely space with a women-led team and you can really tell! Not intimidating like some studios with plenty of interesting and pretty things to look at whilst getting your tattoo. Both my artist (Rhi) and the owner (Paula) made me feel so comfortable. Can’t wait to go back and get something from each artist.

E. F.

very safe space run by vegans and generally lovely people! if you read the reviews that say that this shop is discriminative it is false and these are all anti vaxxers trying to ruin this shops reputation :( it is not discrimination for wanting to feel safe and for your customers (who may still be in fatal danger if they caught the virus) at their own work place! this is a lovely shop please definitely consider getting a tattoo here as it is lovely!💞

B. D.

Absolutely love this place. Had 4 tattoos here always inclusive and really great vibe.

L. T.

Best Tattoo experience ever, safe, professional, fun and so welcoming. Every time I have been I have felt so accepted and I have just had the best time.. I can't wait for my next tattoo with Paula.

L. C.

Seen Paula a few times and she is always polite and professional. Everyone in the team is very polite and generally lovely to be around. High quality and affordable service. Plan on getting back to finish my Star Wars sleeve soon with Paula!

H. B.

Black Sheep and Paula Castle have the most welcoming, relaxing and fun studio. It's always a pleasure to visit and I have never know a tattooist to be so thoughtful and take as much care over each client as she does.

H. W.

Lots of trolls below - but I have nothing but positivity and praise towards Paula and her team. Making sure everyone is safe; both the clients, the staff and their families, is the most important. I can't wait for her books to open so I can book in again! Much love ❤

M. B.

Beautiful studio and great location! The artists are super friendly, caring, professional and make you feel welcome. I’ve been getting tattooed by Paula for approximately 3 years and she never fails to surprise me ❤️ X

K. A.

I have nothing but good things to say about my experience at Blacksheep. Paula is an absolute babe and made me feel so at ease and comfortable. The studio is an absolute dream from decor to THE best music playing in the background. From design to finished result i was totally blown away by the whole experience. Such a huge talent! I have booked in for my next tattoo in just a few months time and i honestly can't wait to go back xx

J. G.

I've had many tattoos done by Paula and Casey, they are all amazing, provide a safe and friendly environment and clearly care about their customers very much. Highly recommended and will be back for many more tattoos!

I've been tattooed by Paula twice and couldn't be happier with the stunning artworks she created for me. Black Sheep is a beautiful and welcoming environment to get tattooed in, where inclusivity, safety and wellbeing are a top priority.

This studio has a really nice atmosphere and decor. The artists who work there are all massively talented and lovely people and make you feel so at ease. They focus on waste reduction & are a fully vegan studio which is so important and sets them apart from other places I’ve been to. Good vibes all around!

I’d never been here before until, I got tattooed by Rhi in April and honestly The Black Sheep is amazing! The atmosphere going inside was so calm and everyone was really friendly and accommodating. Rhi was as great as always, love her work and been tattooed by her before. Perfectly run, really sanitary, coolest bathroom I’ve ever seen. Amazing place! Definitely coming here for all my future tattoos

I have had 3 tattoos by Paula. She drew each design for me and they are all beautiful! It’s a lovely environment and very welcoming.

Ania was so professional and lovely, I was comfortable the whole time and my tattoo is so beautiful! The atmosphere (lovely artists, beautifully decorated rooms (loved the bathroom)) was also perfect. I would definitely come back!!

Paula Castle is an incredible tattoo artist who consistently produces top quality tattoos. Black Sheep is a top notch shop. One of the best shops in the UK.

Had a double session with the lovely Ania! I'm obsessed with my tattoos and in awe of the talented artists. Brilliant adherence to covid guidelines and all round professionalism. All the artists in that day were lovely and chatty and I really look forward to booking in with them also in the future! I travelled from the south coast and will be hurrying back thats for sure.

One of the best tattoo experiences I’ve had, the artwork speaks for itself but the staff and artists were really friendly. Just a generally good vibe from start to finish and left with a tattoo I’m really happy with.

R. C.

A really clean, refreshing and professional studio. Paula and all the staff were more than friendly, and it made a full day session seem to fly by. I’m honestly so happy with the tattoo. I’d definitely recommend this studio.

Really super tattoo studio that I managed to visit between lockdowns and the studio observed all COVID guidelines which made me feel very safe. Lovely artists and would certainly visit again and would be happy to follow all their safeguarding criteria as they only wish to ensure the health of their staff and visitors.

M. T.

never usually write reviews but had 3 tattoos here now, always a lovely group of artists around (usually having chats about vegan snacks), had good work done, and have never before or since seen such a beautifully decorated shop 🥰

R. H.

I had a great experience with Rhi who was so lovely and made me feel so comfortable during my time in the studio. Rhi managed to fit me into a cancellation slot which was so appreciated, I’m so happy with how the tattoo turned out and will defo be recommending Rhi to all my friends and family. The studio itself is well kept and a pleasant place to be, all the artists were lovely and welcoming, couldn’t recommend enough!

Can’t fault the guys at black sheep, all the artists are welcoming, friendly and passionate about their art. Love the atmosphere and vibe in the studio and look forward to going back every time! Highly recommend! They’ve set the bar high for other studios! 💛🧡🖤

The place was easy to find, super friendly staff, awesome vibes and I walked out with the sickest first tattoo I could have ever dreamed of for a price I was very happy with. Black Sheep tattoo is seriously top shelf material!

P. O.

Really lovely studio with very welcoming/friendly vibes. All artists wearing PPE and felt very "covid safe". Paula is absolutely brilliant! She made me feel very safe and reassured. Will definitely be back! X

Paula is one of the kindest people I’ve ever been tattooed by! Such a welcoming soul and could not have asked for a better experience.

Paula runs an amazing studio - really takes the time to make sure you feel comfortable. Just an all round great place to get a tattoo.

I got a tattoo from Ania. She was very lovely and the shop had a pleasant atmosphere. Would definitely recommend. It's a place where they care about their customers and do good quality work.

Incredible experience visiting this shop. Felt at ease, safe and can’t wait to return. Professional to the highest standard!! And one of the best tattooing experiences. Great bunch of artists in the shop.

Paula is an amazing artist. I can’t wait to get my tattoo done by her! I will be traveling over 4 hours for her insanely great work. ❤️

loveliest tattoo artist! it's so refreshing to see someone care for their disabled customers and want to keep them safe by making sure people are vaccinated or at least wearing a mask (unless exempt) thankyou for making one place less scary for disabled people in this terrifying time 🥺 I cannot wait to be tattooed again!

O. A.

A wonderful chilled and relaxed atmosphere. My tattoo done by Paula is exquisite. Couldn’t be happier.

My first tattoo experience was wonderful! My artist Casey took great care of me and helped me through the whole process. I'll definetly be back for more ❤

N. B.

Been tattooed by 2 artists here and honestly everyone is so friendly! As someone with bad anxiety it was so nice having a studio so friendly and welcoming! Definitely one I’ll be returning to

An absolutely great experience being tattoo’d by Paula (shop owner). Paula took my very loose idea and made it into a beautiful piece of artwork. She was kind and patient throughout a full day of tattooing, encouraging regular breaks and a relaxed vibe from 11am to 6pm when we finished. The communication up to the appointment with the shop manager was quick, informative and friendly. I will be visiting again!
