I can't speak highly enough of Black Dog. I travel from London to get my tatts done here, recommended them to a mate who now uses them too. I see Jon (the owner) whose artwork and attention to the brief is meticulous, and my mate sees Alex who has done him some truly stunning work. One thing I really like about Black Dog is that as a woman I don't feel uncomfortable. I've been to several other tattooists where it's a bit of a boy's club and they're happy to banter whilst tot...ally ignoring you. Slightly gutting when you're paying them £££! Black Dog just doesn't have that feel at all, it's just very friendly and professional, plus they check if you're OK whilst being tattooed or if you need to take a break. They always answer FB queries quickly, and you can see their work on their page or on Insta. I was there yesterday and already planning my next! See More Read Less
