First time there and it was A1. Everyone was very welcoming. Extremely clean and professional. I had the pleasure of Conor Flanagan one of there newest artists and he was perfect. His attention to detail and patience is second to none. Can't recommend A Sailors Grave tattoo studio enough. The only spot to go if your getting your first or your 50th tattoo. 10 / 10
Not my first tattoo from Fiona – and definitely not my last! She’s absolutely amazing at her work. The attention to detail, the vibe in the studio, and how comfortable she made the whole experience was next level. Already planning my next one with her. 10/10, highly recommend! 🖤
Whilst waiting for an evening flight home to Bristol after a few days exploring Belfast, we popped into A Sailor’s Grave and asked if we could get some permanent souvenirs to take home with us. As quick as you like, our designs were drawn up and we were in the chairs getting tattooed. Quick service, lovely staff, and an immaculately clean studio — we absolutely love our new tattoos! Jake and Mason, thanks so much for fitting us in 🍀🤘
A great experience at A Sailor’s Grave. I arrived in Belfast and went into the studio based on its great reviews. I told them what I wanted and I was put in contact with Ollie who is the go to man for any script work. Lucky for me, he has a friend who specialises in Gaelic and he did some research for the tattoo I wanted. Ollie is a legend. Super friendly, super skilled, very great at communication and passionate about his work. It was awesome that he was the man to do this very special piece for me and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’ve had a lot of positive feedback about his quality of work from friends and family who have seen it. It’s healing very nicely almost a week later and I’ve barely had to put any cream on it. Such a smooth process and tattoo. Also very well priced. I love it.
Getting my first tattoo at 60 I was apprehensive. Took the plunge and so glad I did. Ross did an amazing job. The detail and work he put into it. The tattoo was a personal one and means only something to me. Can’t recommend Sailorsgrave enough. They are artists.
