Can’t believe Black Hope Tattoo is 8 years old today, it’s gone by so fast 💛 Thank you to every client who’s trusted us with their ideas, every friend who’s cheered us on, and everyone who’s walked through our doors and made this place what it is, thank you. You’re the reason we do what we do 🖤

Fallen Knight for Chris. A knight makes a great gap filler as you can contort them into all kinds of shapes!

Meet Oli 🖤

If you’re into dark ornamental tattoos, black & grey work or fantasy-inspired pieces, Oli is definitely your guy.

Clients always comment on how calm, welcoming and considerate he is, which makes him especially good for nervous clients or anyone wanting a more relaxed tattoo experience.

Outside the studio you’ll probably find him talking about D&D, listening to ska or progressive rock… or eating homemade pot noodles out of a glass jar 🍃

Oli would love to take on more:
🖤 Sleeve projects
🖤 Dark ornamental work
🖤 Custom black & grey pieces
🖤 Flash tattoos

You can check out his available designs in the studio or DM directly to chat ideas 🖤
