    Chris is a fantastic artist who I would highly recommend. He has great studio which is very clean, comfortable and welcoming.

    Have been visiting Black Tapestry Tattoo for a large back piece with Chris. The booking process was super clear and Chris was easy to communicate with and has been friendly and professional throughout. The studio has a great atmosphere & is very clean. Would definitely come back here for future pieces!

  • Omar Francis

    Black Tapestry Tattoo is a really cool studio with a great vibe to it. Chris made me feel at ease from the very beginning and was very open during the design process. The work of the artists at this studio is second to none. I highly recommended Chris especially for people with darker skin!

  • Tom Davies

    Spent the morning with Chris today putting a Mandala on my elbow! Awesome studio and great work on the tat! He worked with me to create a new tattoo around some existing work I already had! Highly recommended!

  • Rosie La Chappelle

    Chris did some beautiful geometric work on my forearm. Lovely studio and friendly environment. The quality of the work is perfect and he talked me through different options during the process. Highly recommended!

  • Ro Elfberg

    I had my best ever tattoo experience at Black Tapestry with Chris - not only did he approach the design itself with amazing creativity, he made me feel so comfortable, listened to and relaxed. Whether you want to chat or just lie back and be distracted by the TV, the studio is a super chill space and has the benefit of being very private. As for the tattoo itself: it’s absolutely amazing. I couldn’t recommend Chris and Black Tapestry more highly.

  • Gavin Finney

    Had a great afternoon at Black Tapestry with Joe yesterday. Fantastic artist, couldn't be happier with the work he did. Generally it's also a really nice studio, with a very relaxed atmosphere and friendly bunch of tattooists. Highly recommended.
