I had my tattoo done by Amy today and I honestly couldn’t be happier! 🥰 The studio is lovely, clean and welcoming, and Amy made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. She was so friendly, easy to talk to and made the whole experience feel really relaxed. I absolutely love my tattoo and I’m so glad I chose Amy to do it. Thank you so much! 🤍 I’ll definitely be coming back for more!

Wonderful experience with Kelsa having a couple of tattoos that have a lot of meaning to me. She made me feel comfortable and ensured I was fully happy with the design before going ahead. The results are exactly what I hoped. Kelsa is a great artist.

Amy is the kind of artist you just let go to work. Give her a theme and just let her have creative licence to tattoo you. I’m currently on my 3rd piece with her and her attention to detail, care for what she does shows in her work and she treats every customer like part of their tattoo family. Would highly recommend

Amy and I had a discussion about piece in memory of my sister, who has, very sadly, recently passed away. I used to, very affectionately call her 'Ginger Ninja'. I explained my wishes and suggested some designs. Amy worked her magic and created a piece that is very fitting, satisfies all my reasoning for having it and I think is absolutely fantastic! The whole experience being a mix of extreme professionalism mixed with friendly banter and a lot of good music, is most definitely one I'd recommend. Thank you Amy, you are a star! X

I decided to give Black Opal a try one day and haven't looked elsewhere since. They offer a professional service from initial enquiry to the finished tattoo. The shop is very modern with a chilled vibe and the artists are passionate about what they do on a daily basis. I have had a few tattoos done by Amy and have been more than satisfied with the quality of design, products used and of course the end result being a tattoo that I couldn't be more proud of. Amy gets on with the job in hand and loves a challenge so if you are thinking of getting a tattoo give this cracking shop a try. A very satisfied customer.

I've been coming to Amy for just over a year now, and the ink she has done for me is absolutely unmatched. My most recent session was for a day and I had loads of ideas for a patchwork sleeve. Not only did she bring them all to life in her beautiful designs - but we had some extra spaces and in the moment she created some gorgeous freehand gap filler and I could not be happier. Recommend so highly, Amy is phenomenal x
