BLACK DRAGON TATTOO.

Fine art tattooing from 34 Womanby Street, Cardiff. Every line is deliberate. Every piece is permanent. Walk-ins welcome — consultations encouraged.

02 — WHAT WE DO

The craft.

Custom Tattoos

ORIGINAL — COLLABORATION — YOUR VISION

Designed from scratch around you. We sit with your idea, sketch concepts, refine until the design is exactly what it should be — then we put it on skin.

Cover-Ups

TRANSFORMATION — CONSULTATION REQUIRED

What’s underneath isn’t permanent if you don’t want it to be. We assess the existing work and design something that earns its place over it.

Fine Line

PRECISION — DELICATE — ENDURING

Single-needle and fine line work requiring absolute steadiness and the right canvas. Portraits, botanicals, architectural detail — executed with surgical precision.

Traditional

BOLD — TIMELESS — OLD SCHOOL QUALITY

Thick outlines. Solid colour fills. The kind of tattoo that still looks like a tattoo in forty years. American traditional and British traditional — done properly.

Japanese

IREZUMI — LARGE SCALE — FULL BODY POSSIBLE

Dragons, koi, chrysanthemum, waves. Irezumi is a body of work, not a single piece. We plan the composition properly — whether sleeve, back or full suit.

Neo-Traditional

ILLUSTRATIVE — CONTEMPORARY — BOLD PALETTE

The weight of traditional, the range of illustration. Rich shading, expanded subject matter, painterly colour. Where old-school craft meets gallery aesthetic.

Consultations

FREE — NO OBLIGATION — DESIGN FIRST

We don’t tattoo from a brief. We sit, talk, sketch. Good ink starts with a conversation — and that conversation is always free. Email to arrange yours.

04 — THE APPROACH

Every line deliberate. Every piece permanent.

We don’t do flash tattoos, rush jobs or same-day walk-in custom work. Good tattooing takes time before the needle ever touches skin. If you’re looking for the fastest appointment in Cardiff, we’re not it — and we’re proud of that.

06 — CLIENT STORIES

I’ve been to studios in London and Berlin. Black Dragon is the only place I’ve left feeling like the artist actually cared about the piece as much as I did.”

RHIANNON THOMAS — CARDIFF BAY

They spent three sessions planning my sleeve before we started. Three sessions. That’s why it looks like nothing else in Newport.”

07 — WHERE WE ARE

Womanby Street, Cardiff. In the heart of the city — worth the journey from wherever you’re coming from.
