Great studio and Shila is a very talented artist. Am extremely happy with my tattoo, which she designed. Both her and her mum made my day sitting a very relaxed one. Highly recommended indeed!!

This was my first time visiting a tattoo/piercing shop and I couldn't of been made more welcome by everyone there. For my 1st tattoo I booked a full day and Shila was absolutely amazing she was so friendly and her work was beyond anything I could of asked for. I'm so happy with everything she did I won't be going anywhere else ...ever. I also got pierced here and after being made welcome again, I had the pleasure of Eimear piercing me, who apart from being incredibly profess...ional and talking me through every part of the procedure Was such a pleasure to be around. I couldn't recommend either one of these amazing ladies enough! Black opal is a one stop shop for all your piercing and tattoo needs so if your a newbie like me or someone who has had it all before this is the place for you. I guarantee you won't regret it! � See More Read Less

I have had several piercings done by Eimear now. She is incredibly professional and friendly and walks you through the whole thing - making you feel much more at ease. All of my piercings have healed brilliantly and Eimear has helped to change them to new jewellery. The studio looks great and all the staff are so friendly. Would definitely recommend Read Less

I had a triple forward helix piercing with Eimear today, she made me feel at such ease and calmed my nerves completely. I loved her professional yet friendly manor and will definitely be coming back for more piercings. Shila the tattoo artist is also lovely and I would fully recommend her work to anyone looking to get a tattoo. Would give more stars if I could. Read Less

Shila is absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend her to anyone wanting a tattoo. My mom recently passed away and Shila helped me put together a poppy design and some wording where the writing was perfectly traced, and tattooed, from a card my mom had given me previously. I now feel I have my mom with me all the time. The tattoo is beautiful!! Shila took a very plain image of a poppy and turned it in to something truly stunning. Thanks Shila and looking forward to the next... one! ***** I can't add another review to the page, so I am adding to my original review, but this is for EIMEAR and her piercings. I decided to get a new ear-piercing and with Eimear's help I decided on a tragus piercing. I was really nervous about how painful it would be, but I didn't feel it at all! I honestly didn't believe Eimear when she said she was done. I am so impressed at how quick and painless she pierced it, that I'll definitely be going back to her for the next one, wherever that may be! Thanks Eimear!
