03Who tattoos you

Theartist

Blackstar is a single-chair studio. The person you message is the person who draws your design and the person who tattoos it — start to finish.

01Founder & Resident Artist

Geoff

My name is Geoff. I am a Tattoo Artist based in Belfast with over 15 years of experience in the industry. I'm also an Artist and can provide bespoke artwork. I work by appointment only so my studio and time are dedicated to you alone.

That last part is the whole idea. There is one chair on the Glen Road, and on the day it is booked it belongs to one person. No queue behind you, no clock being watched, no design finished in the ten minutes before you walk in.

The work leans black and grey — portraits, realism, heavy illustrative blackwork — but the brief comes first and the style follows it. If you arrive with a photograph, a verse, an old tattoo you have stopped liking, or nothing but an idea, that is the starting point.

The Guest Chair

Not a real person

PLACEHOLDER CONTENT — this is not a real person. Blackstar currently operates as a single-artist studio.

If the studio starts hosting guest spots, replace this entry in src/data/artists.ts with the visiting artist’s name, photograph, dates and Instagram handle. Until then this card exists only to show how a second artist would appear.

Placeholder — this card is a layout example only. Replace or delete the guest-chair entry in src/data/artists.ts.

Send the idea, a rough size and where it is going. You will get a straight answer about whether it works, what it needs, and when the chair is free.
