About — Black Sheep Tattoo

Who We Are

Black Sheep is an established studio in Bristol, owned and operated by Paula Castle. With 10 years of experience within the industry, she is proud to have created a space that is both welcoming for artists and clients alike.

With a beautifully designed interior space, curated with plants that maximise oxygen and relaxation and walls full of art and curiosities from around the world, Black Sheep prides itself in being a safe and inclusive studio that emphasises breaking the stereotypical tattoo studio aesthetic.

We understand that being tattooed can be an anxious experience and that it’s a big deal no matter whether it’s tattoo number one, or you’ve lost count. We have done everything we can to ensure the best possible experience whilst you Create Yourself.

Accessibility

We have a fully accessible studio which can be used by anyone who requires it. If you do need to use this space, please let us know ahead of your appointment to ensure your artist can set up in this space and meet you there.

Piercings

We are now offering piercings!
It’s been a pleasure to create a beautiful and unique, private space for piercings, by appointment only with Christina. Please email christina@blacksheepbristol.com or use the contact form to book in.

Privacy

We have privacy screens which you’re more than welcome to use during your appointment. For tattoos in more intimate areas, this will always be offered anyway but we can use them for any appointment, just ask! We also provide disposable bras, underwear and nipple covers if needed.

Lunch breaks

While you’re here, you’re welcome to use any of our facilities during your break. We have a fridge to store food and drinks, water coolers to keep you hydrated, a kettle, a microwave and cutlery. We also have a beautiful outdoor space that you can eat your lunch in (weather permitting of course!).

Walk-ins

We will always try to accommodate walk-ins. When we have space we will have an A-board outside and notify our followers on Instagram. Feel free to pop in for a chat about a tattoo at any point as well, in person consultations are welcome.
