General 3 — Matt Black Tattoo

“ My whole experience from booking process to getting the tattoo itself was so easy and straight forward. Matt is very friendly, extremely talented and his tattoo designs are so unique. The studio is bright, clean and cosy and I felt very comfortable and welcomed. I travelled 4 hours to get my tattoo and it was so worth it. Will definitely be getting something else in future!"

Claire Angus 2023

"The attention to detail this artist has is NEXT LEVEL. I’ve never seen a tattoo artist be such a perfectionist and work so fast at the same time! I’d recommend him a thousand times over. I got my most recent tattoo by Matt over a year ago now and it’s still in pristine condition, it still looks as fresh as the day I got it! Matt suggested putting white in as highlights and he was completely spot on. He knew what I wanted and exceeded ALL expectations! I can’t wait to be back! I wouldn’t recommend anyone more!"

Faye Nicole 2023

" As you can see everyone is writing very good comments about Matt... And I want to join them too. I live in Manchester, but it worth a small journey to get the tattoo. I saw a guy in Manchester with a very interesting style on his arm and I asked him where did he get the ink... He gave me Matt's Instagram and I knew that the tarot card I was going to get had to have that specific style Had my tattoo yesterday and I love the unique style, the cleaning, the friendliness and the experience!"

Daniele Daldoss 2023

"I had the privilege of being tattooed by Matt at Black Stamp Tattoo in Southport a few months ago and can say it was probably my best experience getting a tattoo after trying a few in the last couple years! The studio is bright and clean and welcoming, I felt very comfortable and Matt was happy to make any changes I wanted! His work is so unique and really stood out to me. I will definitely be back in the future for more!"

Beth Lyle 2023

"Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Quality, Value Matt is super friendly and professional tattoo artist. His competence and attention to detail was present throughout my experience with him. He listened to my ideas and brought forward his own regarding the design. His studio was immaculate with all the right precautions in place that you’d expect. Most importantly the tattoo looked amazing and surpassed my expectations! I thoroughly recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for their first or next tattoo! 🤟🏼😎"

Joe Bunting 2021

"My experience of getting tattooed by Matt was excellent. He’s professional but friendly, replies to queries promptly, and provides a comfortable, clean and relaxed environment in his studio. He did a great job of a coverup in a tricky area. I’d definitely get tattooed by him again."

James Gould

"I visited the studio in 2021 between lockdowns and when I arrived, couldn't fault the studio at all in terms of feeling safe/cleanliness etc. Also helps that Matt is super cool and just the right level of chatty! The quality of his work is some of the best I've seen from a relatively new tattooer & I always get compliments on the piece he did for me! 10/10 will visit again!"

Jenny Donaldson 2021

"Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality Had such a pleasant experience here for my first ever tattoo! Matt is lovely and from the get go has been brilliant at replying to inquiries and has been really helpful as I don't know much about the process. Also brought the design to life so well, exactly how I wanted it. The studio itself is tiny and cosy, so much so I snoozed through getting my tattoo done! Would definitely recommend to anyone and I'll be back one day myself :)"

Deena Dee

His studio is a lovely safe environment and he is such a calm chilled dude you can't not feel at ease 😁 I genuinely recommend him to everyone he's flawless"

Laura Edge 2023

"Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Quality, Value I had 2 matching tattoos done by Matt and the whole experience was amazing. He really listened to my ideas and was willing to make changes to the design to get them perfect. I felt really at ease in the studio which made the tattooing process as comfortable as possible. The studio was also really clean and I especially felt like the necessary COVID precautions were taken seriously. I love my tattoos and would recommend Matt to anyone!"

Rose Heslin

" Had a couple tattoos done here a few months back and the whole process felt so professional. the studio was clean, tidy and comfortable with plenty of shops nearby so the location of the studio is very good also. the artist was incredibly friendly and he made sure that i felt accommodated. it’s clear that he loves his work and wants to do the very best that he can at all times, continually talking to me and making sure that i’m happy with the piece. the finished product was far better than i had ever imagined and they’re still my favourite tattoos that i have, will definitely be going here again in the future!"

Abbie Townend 2023

"Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value I had a tattoo with Matt on 7th August 2020 and it was as a great experience! The studio very clean and hygienic. Although I didn’t walk much with Matt due to my tattoo hurting (inner thigh) I could tell he was very nice and the times I did speak to him he was very kind and polite. I would recommend this place to anyone and wish them all the best for the future."

George Leggett 2020

" Got two tattoos today and they're both great. Having a change on the original picture sent makes it more unique. Great atmosphere, fantastic music and Matt is by far one of the more welcoming and warm tattooist's I've met. Felt at home while I was there and 10/10 would recommend to anyone"

Andrew Dine 2021

"Whole process from start to finish was amazing! Matt managed to create my dream tattoo, he was professional and lovely and completely understanding. Would highly recommend Matt and would love more tattoos from him in the future :D"

Kirsty McGrillen 2023

"Matt is an incredibly talented tattoo artist and more than reasonably priced. After being tattooed elsewhere in the past I find that Matt’s amazing design, skilful application and pristinely clean and relaxing studio is why I keep going back! Best tattooist i’ve had and will continue to return to for some awesome pieces"

Luke Waite 2023

" had two pieces done by matt, amazing guy, excellent service. both tattoos always getting compliments on how well they’ve been done! very clean and comfortable studio, an all round 10/10 experience!"

obviouslyzain 2023

"Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Quality Had a really great experience here, Matt is extremely talented and professional. He managed two really clean tattoos in a single session, and even in the midst of a pandemic adhered too all the government requirements even to his own discomfort. Matt really put his work and the well-being of the client above his personal comfort which is really admirable. The studio is lovelly, and extremely well located for anyone travelling from outside of Southport, it's a 5 minute walk from the station at most. Postcare was explained thoroughly with options of both regular cling film or second skins. All in all a great experience, have recommended to friends and will definitely be returning."

Harvey 2021

Sophie Grieve-Williams 2023

" Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Quality, Value Matt is very professional and has always produced top quality designs and tattoos. Have had the majority of my tattoos done by Matt and he is very friendly and understanding, as well as incredible at what he does. Have recieved endless comments on the detail of my tattoos, which personally I think is hard to find anywhere else!"

Theodore Newsham 2023

"Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Quality Matt did an absolutely amazing job! I felt super safe the whole time with the new covid mask rules and the atmosphere in the studio was great. We had some really great chats which helped take my mind of the pain. Can’t wait to come back and get tattooed again!"

Emily Bolton 2023

"Positive: Quality I was lucky enough to get my first tattoo done by Matt at Black Stamp Tattoo. The whole process from the first drafts to actually getting the tattoo done was incredibly smooth and easy. Matt was great at listening to my ideas and did an excellent job of making my thoughts into a reality. Being that this was my first tattoo I was quite nervous, but as soon as I got in the studio Matt put me right at ease. The quality of the tattoo is incredible and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Can’t recommend Black Stamp Tattoo enough."

Miles Blakey 2023

"I recently got tattooed by Matt and I could not recommend him enough! For someone who has only been tattooing for 3 years his attention to detail is of someone who has been in the business for 10+ years. Could not recommend him enough."
