Dark Angel Tattoo

I'd been discussing getting my first tattoo with my partner to help commemorate our recent trip to Ireland and Northern Ireland. I didn't think I'd have a chance to get it done during the trip itself until I saw the shop in Belfast during a short amount of free time I had. I met Bruce who is a really friendly guy. He very patiently described the tattoo application and healing process to me and we had a pleasant conversation during the process. He was very kind in pointing out associations with TV shows of related designs and how the design I picked is popular with tourists. I feel like a got pretty lucky walking into his shop. Sharp line work and no blow-out. I hope to return to Belfast someday. Arranging an original piece with Bruce is on my to-do list.

Friendly guy and great tattoo, next one will be here as well

I've been to many tattoo parlours over the years but this place is definitely my favourite! I'll never go anywhere else again. So helpful, friendly and doesn't charge an fortune, very reasonable. I'm delighted with my tattoo and will definitely be back!! Thank you!

Absolute amazing experience today. The man was lovely, knew his stuff. Explained everything well and talked with me throughout the tattoo. Over all amazing customer service and very talented man.

I got a tattoo here exactly fourteen years ago today on a college trip to Ireland. I had wanted a tattoo but I didn't have the foresight to set up an appointment in advance. My mother and I thus searched frantically on Mother's Day 2009 (which was our last day in Ireland) to find an open tattoo parlor. The tattoo artist managed to squeeze me in as a walk-in. I remember them being very friendly and professional. The parlor at the time had a computer for internet, although obviously that's likely not true any longer. I chose my design from the tattoo artist's flash binder as I could only afford a standard design. Also, I didn't want to take up too much of the tattoo artist's time. My tattoo experience was as pleasant as getting stabbed hundreds of times ever is. I got a three-leaf clover with the year on my upper left chest above my heart. Even today the colors are fairly vibrant and the date is clear. The tattoo artist was also very courteous and worked with my level of modesty. They chatted with my mother and me as we waited for my appointment and then as they worked. Considering that we were clueless Americans, the tattoo artist was really very kind to ask us about or trip and such. I'm still so very pleased with my tattoo over a decade later. I'm very sorry that I never left a review earlier. I hope that Dark Angel Tattoo is still offering the same level of service that they were in 2009. Considering their reviews, they apparently are. Please ignore the quality of the photograph as it was taken on a cheap digital phone in 2010.
