I have been tattooed by studios and artists all over the world, What an amazing atmosphere. The crew at Black Diamond are awesome, friendly and every time I enter the shop I am treated like a part of the family. The in-house banter coupled with incredible artistry keeps me coming back. I have recommended Black Diamond to all personnel I work with, to which several members of my workplace have been over the moon with the art work and friendly staff. I highly recommend the Team at Black Diamond.

Ive just had a tattoo done by Wilbert @ Black Diamond. Throughout the process, he was professional, helpful, friendly and very easy to deal with. His talent as an artist is beyond amazing! Based on a few ideas and pictures he was able to come up with exactly what I wanted. Im thoroughly impressed with the work he has done for me and am already thinking about getting him to do more. Black Diamond studio was a charming place to spend a day. All-day parking was easily found about a minutes walk away. They provide entertainment in the form of iPads with Netflix etc. and headphones although
