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.
Cheers

I’ve 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. I’m 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

Nice, clean, cozy studio with professional artists. They where fully booked therefore had to wait for two months for my appointment. Im very happy what Wilbert Olaya did, had an understanding from the first second, trough emails and live communication. Very skilled and professional artist. Definitely recommend to others and will choose him again for any future tattoo plans. Thanks Wilbert and Thanks Black Diamond!
