Best Tattooing & Piercing near me in Central, Swindon

Tim is the most talented tattoo artist that I have ever met. He creates amazing bespoke designs by listening to your ideas and making sure that it’s exactly what you want every step of the way, from consultation, to stencil placement and then being tattooed. Tim really does look after you; helps me with my accessibility needs, ensuring I’m comfortable with cushions and blankets. He’s such a genuinely nice guy and he’s so easy to get along with, I always have a great time in our sessions. Thank you Tim for yet another masterpiece!

Lovely to meet Adrienn today at Black Heart Ink, Swindon. Adrienn was super professional and friendly, and made my daughter Evelyn feel really relaxed. Evelyn was even able to change her choice and position of piercing from what we had originally booked, and all went very smoothly. A fantastic service. We'll definitely recommend and cone back soon!

My new wife and I wanted to have our rings tattooed as part of our wedding, so we chose Black Heart Ink. We thought we were walking in for tattoos but what we got was so much more special and we haven’t stopped talking about it all afternoon! The way Gary, Tim and Ben interacted with our kids, they put up “Just Married” banners, the tattoo set up was opposite each other so we could have tattoos together and the choice of artists to complete the tattoos was perfect and we’re utterly thrilled with the experience and for really making our special day even better. I cannot thank you all enough!

I had Charlie help design and plan in a monumental tattoo which she skilfully delivered yesterday! I must say, she is one hell of an artist and we had such a great laugh - helping to ease the joy of being tattooed on the ribs! Everyone at Black Heart were welcoming and what a brilliant studio! Will I be going back, hell yes - I am about to book back in for more ink!!!! :o) Well Recommended - you won’t be disappointed.

I absolutely loved my experience at Black Heart Ink, especially as it was my first tattoo. Charlie was incredible—so lovely, welcoming, and she instantly made me feel at ease. I was a bit nervous at first, but she talked me through everything and made the whole experience really comfortable. She’s an amazing artist and I’m honestly in love with my tattoo—it’s even better than I imagined. The studio itself felt really friendly and welcoming too, which made such a difference. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience and I would highly recommend Black Heart Ink to anyone!

You are the top tattooist in swindon. Your studio is nice and clean. Your work is spot on

The whole experience was just great, Beni was very knowledgeable and clear about how the tattoo was going take place. He also advised me on slightly altering the size of the tattoo to suit the size of my arm, which made it look more natural. He was always asking if I was ok and if I wanted to take any breaks. He also applied some numbing spray when the white ink was getting a little bit spiky. Overall one of the best artists I have been to, and will most definitely recommend him to anyone and will be booking him again.

Fantastic experience with Tim for my latest tattoo. Made me feel very welcome and relaxed, providing me with great advice for the correct placement and size of my tattoo and the important aftercare. Great little studio and very friendly and welcoming. Think I have found my forever tattoo parlour. Thanks so much Tim. I love it and the tattoo means so much to me and what I have been going through the last year or so.

My third tattoo with Megan, never been disappointed! The eye for detail is unmatched, look forward to many more tattoos to come.

This was my 1st tattoo, Tim talked me though step by step so felt very comfortable and relaxed. Definitely go back when decided to have more.

Another amazing tattoo competed today by the super talented Ben Moore. Ben ALWAYS puts his customers comfort and works so well with them to ensure the experience is nothing short of perfection. Today’s piece is simply outstanding and I’m so pleased with it. I couldn’t recommend Ben enough for any future tattoos you maybe thinking of getting. Thank you 🎉

Beni is truly incredible with his skill as an artist, watching him work with a tattoo gun and seeing the piece come alive is magic, can't wait to have it finished in all its glory, Beni you're a credit to black heart ink 🖤👊🏻
