The 30 Best Tattoo shop in Belfast

“Can't stop recommending this quirky little gem of a tattoo shop to my friends and family and well..anyone who would listen! Stefan is so friendly, my first visit I was so nervous as the tattoo was one that meant the world to me, he made sure I was happy with the placement even tho that part took longer than the tattoo! I can't thank him enough for the beautiful tattoos I have thanks to him. Such a friendly and welcoming space I could stay there for hours. Can't forgot to mention Amber such a lovely girl she was chatting away to me and also got my piercing changed, she has a beautiful collection of earrings was hard to decide what to choose. If you are looking for a professional tattoo artist, friendly and clean studio, that is very welcoming... Till Death is where you need to go!”

“I’m so happy with my tattoo Cora started for me today. The design she created for me was perfect and the portrait in my tattoo was amazing. I would 100% recommend her work. I wish I had found her years ago. ❤️”

“I’ve gotten 3 beautiful tattoos done here and plan to get many, many more. Anastasia, who tattooed me - was very welcoming, kind & accommodating. Her work is outstanding and intricate. I’d definitely recommend to get tattoos here.”

“This was my third time getting tattooed by Andrew and I honestly can’t recommend him enough. Every time I leave with an amazing tattoo. His work is consistently great— the detail, precision, and creativity are next level. But what really sets him apart is his personality. From the moment you walk in, he makes you feel completely at ease. He’s super friendly, easy to talk to, and has a way of making you feel like you’re just catching up with an old friend. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and he genuinely listens to your ideas, then somehow makes them even better. If you’re even remotely thinking about getting a tattoo, do yourself a favor and book in with him. You’ll walk out with incredible art and probably be planning your next visit before the ink has even dried because that's exactly what happened to me the 1st time.”

“Been to Mick for a few pieces now, and highly recommend his work. Professional and friendly throughout all of my experiences.”

“Gillian is an unbelievable tattooist! Really nice people! Wouldn't go anywhere else 4 a tattoo!!!”

“Excellent experience!! Got booked in for a bellybutton piercing with Darren (I think!) and he was absolutely fab. Was so friendly, calming, thorough and made the whole experience a lot more stress free due to some pre piercing nerves. Cannot recommend enough, will defo be back and recommending to friends!”

“Had the best experience at A Clockwerk Yellow getting some pieces from their halloween flash by G. G was amazing and couldn't recommend the studio more. Loved the colourful studio and I felt nothing but welcome on my visit and had great craic the entire time, will definitely be back!”

“I had my first tattoo with Steve and was delighted with his professionalism, talent and ability to put me at ease. I love how it turned out and the experience was amazing. The best tattoo artist around. Don't go anywhere else! ❤️”

“Had the most amazing tattooing experience!! From first being greeted at the door, to the most amazing artwork ( many thanks to Brónach!), I could not fault it at all. Everyone was just so kind and attentive, not to mention their patience, and are so keen to put your interests first and any anxieties at ease. Would definitely go back in a heartbeat, top class!!”

“George gets a big 5 Star from me, I have got two tattoos done by George the first ( Daffodil and Cherry Blossom tattoo ) was a cover up, after laser treatment on two small old tattoos and George done an outstanding job with the cover up. This one meant alot to me and Georges design fitted my brief perfectly, have had it done 3 years now and still love it. The second tattoo was done just last week by George its Native art work with links to BC Vancouver. The Stellers Jay bird has great meaning to my life long love of running endurance events and Georges skill in representing this and respecting the art it is outstanding. George is such a talented Tattoo Artist, a great guy and I will be returning again soon. Thanks George.”

“While visiting Ireland for my 50th birthday, both my sister and I got tattoos done by Lady Danger—and I can’t say enough good things about her work! Top notch talent, professional, and absolutely in love with the results. Highly recommend her if you’re ever in Ireland!”

“My wife had a piecing (NOT done at New Dawn) that was giving her bother. On a Sunday morning after a goggle search we came across New Dawn. When we popped in nothing was too much bother, advice was given and decision was made to remove piercing. A pleasant experience and she said any piercings in future she will definitely be going to New Dawn. Would highly recommend pay them a visit.”

“First tattoo and definitely not the last. Andy was fantastic from start to finish and is a master of his craft. Made me feel at ease and comfortable throughout the sitting with great craic n good banter. Tattoo itself was absolutely perfect and just what I had wanted. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!”

“Absolutely amazing…Snoop is exceptionally talented. The shop is cool,clean and relaxed. The sounds are amazing with the beats and music videos playing to keep you chilled…”

“I have wanted to start a leg sleeve for years and just couldn't find the right artist. I stumbled across Luke's work via instagram and instantly knew I wanted to get booked in with him asap. The whole process of booking to getting started on my first session was seamless and easy. Luke's shop is so welcoming and so is he. He made me feel at ease and the design of the tattoo was exactly what I had envisioned for all of these years. I am very much looking forward to getting back there for my next sessions!”

“Took my daughter to have her nails done as a treat for holidays. She had a very specific theme in mind and her nails turned out amazing. She was so pleased with them. Highly recommend, lovely friendly service!”

“Andy is an absolute joy to be tattooed by and a pleasure to work with throughout the design process. He can effortlessly tattoo a variation of styles from great fine line work to BOLD traditional bangers and most things in between. He makes his clients feel very comfortable and at ease and has great knowledge when it comes to his equipment and aftercare. Can not recommend enough!!”

“Absolutely love my tattoos ❤️ highly recommend Archangel tattoos.”

“Christine is incredible - I would never go anywhere else. Friendly, gentle and an amazing artist. Christine has done quite a few of my tattoos now and I absolutely love them. I always take her creative advice and she never fails to keep me right. The studio is clean and sterile. Honestly, if you're considering a new tattoo, please check out Voodoo Blue Tattoo! You won't regret it!”

“Amazing studio with fantastic artists. Everyone is so friendly and make you feel at ease. Tom started work on a sleeve for me and did a fantastic job, literally wouldnt go anywhere else, he is a true pro”

“Laura is really kind and she was very useful for knowing when and what to clean my piercings. I got my seconds done today and she helped me to calm down since I was nervous about it. The place was clean, everything was serialised before used. I highly recommend here.”

“Beautiful studio, been tattooed by connor curran twice now and i love the peices. hes a truley talented artist. put time and thought into designing the tattoo and was happy to make changes. studio is easy to get to just a 5 min walk from trains to bangor/belfast.”

“Gordy, Josie and Holly are a great team. Highly skilled. Great crack. Unique work. Always make you comfortable from you enter the door. Coffee is a must !! Would highly recommend Voodoo tattoo NI”

“This may be my second review I leave, I’m not sure - I moved to Belfast afew years ago, covered in awful tattoos that I had in my teens along with some ideas for new ones and Ink Castle have amazed me every time - I had really big tats on my arms that I assumed I’d have to go down the removal route but on each arm they coveted them up with such detailed and brilliant pieces. I had new work on my forearms too with them and a whole chest piece that I’m buzzing with. 18 months ago I had surgery and I was left with a scar going across my tummy and pretty much round to the back of my hip on each side - yet again Ink Castle have managed to blend and cover the scar with a awesome piece that blends it all in. I’m so glad this was the studio I chose on arrival - I highly recommend them and have a lot more ideas for future ink. Go in, chat to the lovely family and get booked in - you won’t regret it.”

“Getting my first tattoo at 60 I was apprehensive. Took the plunge and so glad I did. Ross did an amazing job. The detail and work he put into it. The tattoo was a personal one and means only something to me. Can’t recommend Sailorsgrave enough. They are artists.”

“Max did a great job on my tattoo and was super caring during the process!”

“Got my first tattoo from Craig, who was super accommodating and very fun to talk to. The whole experience was so welcoming and comfortable. And the perfect place to choose for my first tattoo. Just great vibes all around”
