Blackwork tattoos
in Bristol.
Blackwork is built from solid black ink — bold fills, heavy linework and strong negative space. It ages well, reads clearly from across a room and suits everything from small symbols to full sleeves and back pieces.
At HellHound our residents take blackwork in different directions: neotribal and geometric panels, dark ornaments and runes, and freehand lettering-led pieces. Browse the pieces below, find the artist whose style fits, and message them directly on Instagram to book.

Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes. A deposit, online or in person, secures every booking — without one, no booking is made. Deposits aren't refunded if you cancel, and each artist sets their own refund and reschedule policy.
How long do replies take?
Messages are usually answered within a few days, a little longer if someone's off. We can't reply while tattooing, so please bear with us.
Do you take walk-ins?
We occasionally have walk-in tattoo slots, but always advise booking to avoid disappointment. We also offer walk-in piercings, though booking is still advised so you're seen promptly.
