    Absolutely over the moon with my first tattoo. Claire done my tattoo and exceeded my expectations. I was honestly nervous as this was my first tattoo but Claire made me feel welcome and calm. Thank you again Claire.

    I came in last week for my first tattoo with Damla and what a great place everyone was lovely and my artist was a gem! I felt a bit sick so she gave me a break and got me a drink and was so patient with me, still shocked at how good the tattoo is! highly recommend will definitely be back

    do not get piercings done here i got my eyebrow and my nostril done here at around the same time a few years ago, i tried to take out my nostril piercing but it was so clamped down by my piercer that it was impossible to get out after weeks of trying i had to go into the shop and pay to get the nose piercing removed. My eyebrow is now rejecting and i’ve been trying to take it out for months but the piercers clamp the balls down so tight that you cannot unscrew them yourself which means you have to go into the shop and get them to do it. I’ve spoken to others who have had piercings from other places and they have had no issues changing their jewelry by themselves.

    I honestly can’t put into words how incredible my experience was at Doc Blank Ink. I had tattoo inked with Damla Senturk .She is an amazing tattoo artist in the truest sense. What meant the most to me was how patiently she listened and collaborated with me to deepen the concept and bring a darker, more meaningful edge to the design. The entire process felt so smooth, professional, and personal at the same time. I walked out not just with a tattoo, but with something that truly feels like a part of me. If you’re looking for someone who combines talent, vision, and genuine care, Damla is the one. I’m beyond grateful xx❤️

    I didn’t realise how bad my piercings actually were until I got them done properly elsewhere. It was a while ago now, but over time, I’ve had my third holes in my earlobes, daith, and a flat piercing at the top of my ear done at Doc Black. When I say that none of these piercings EVER healed!! I got my earlobes and daith done together and then the flat piercing a few months later maybe? My earlobes after 6 months were still swollen, sore and red, that in the end, I took them out. My daith never healed (weeping, bleeding etc) until I got it changed at a different shop a year and a half later? My flat piercing came out several times ( I think it was probably trying to tell me something) but I returned each time to get it put back in - they happily agreed. When it came out a third and final time, I decided that it was enough and I would not get it put back in. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE. By this time, my partner was so sick of me complaining about the pain, and that after so long, I still couldn’t sleep on them properly. When I finalyyyyyyy went somewhere else that was recommend by a friend to get my daith piercing changed. My word. From that day on, I haven’t had a single issue. Bear in mind, that at this point, I have no third earlobe piercings in and no flat - they were starting to heal over 🙏 and scar. After pregnancy and breastfeeding, I went to the same place that my friend recommended to get my third holes and flat re-pierced. The lady then looked at my ears and was shocked at what she seen. The flat piercing that has left such a scar, according to her, should never have been pierced in that place, and the only way that it could have gone through the very thick layer of cartilage, would be to piece it on an angle - this makes sense as to why it never healed! The holes from my third earlobe piercings were described as uneven and far too low. Needless to say that she drew them on and they look soooooo much better now. I also have a flat piercing on a different position on my ear that is flat, looks great and is healing fab! The aftercare I was given was to return after two - 4 weeks to get a smaller bar in once the swelling etc subsides (I was never given this aftercare at Doc Black). Moral of the story, please don’t go here for piercings. Save yourself the trouble and PAIN I had and go somewhere that you know are good, take their time, and look after you properly. I must admit, the piercers at Doc Black that I encountered were always friendly. I don’t know whether it’s because they’re so rushed, or the jewellery they use is 💩.
