May has been a busy month for us at Black Heart! Here’s a bit of what we’ve been up to.
Tom has just returned from Leeds Tattoo Convention and would like to thank everyone who stopped by to say hi, those who bought a print, and those who got tattooed!
He’s got a lot of larger pieces in progress at the moment in Black Heart, but here are a few of his finished pieces.
Giovanni has been very busy beautifying customers too. Here are a few of our favourites this month!
We were also happy to have had Nick Bertioli with us in May! Here are a few beauties he created for our customers.
AND we are so excited to have Emily back in the studio after her (working) siesta in Spain!
Info on her diary reopening, convention appearances and how to book will be announced on Instagram @emblackheart and @blackhearttattooepsom when they are set, as well as on our Facebook page – http://www.facebook.com/blackheartstudio.
Here’s one she did for Woody of Into You on the weekend.
And finally, our beloved Alan Modified continues to put holes in all and sundry. He is excited to have just had a delivery of implant grade titanium internally threaded jewellery from the USA, which makes for a smoother healing process overall, and comes recommended by the Association of Professional Piercers (APP). Just look at that polished finish!
We are all super psyched about the coming sunnier days, and will announce our next guest artist very soon. Watch this space!
We feel very lucky to have had the wonder duo, Matthew Gordon and Wendy Pham, from Conspiracy Inc in Berlin with us twice already this year. Here’s some of what they’ve done while at Black Heart. Feast your eyes on these lovelies from Wendy:
And Matthew delighted us with some of his creations too:
Stay tuned to find out when this pair will be back in Epsom! Most up to date announcements will be found on:

This year’s Brighton Tattoo Convention is drawing near – the 15th and 16th of February. It’s our favourite convention and we are very excited to be working it again! Every year promises to be better than the last and so far no promises have been broken. This year over 300 world class artists will be in attendance from every corner of the globe.
Friday night’s entertainment is Neville Staple of The Specials fame – a legend of ska in his own right! Historical seminars, workshops in both watercolour painting and lettering, and taxidermy taster lessons all run over the weekend. Hand made ice cream, great coffee and specially created cocktails will also be added to the mix! Splash some cash with some of the fabulous vendors in attendance – vintage clothing, bespoke jewellery, unique one off artwork, show merchandise, haircuts, designer corsets and much, much more!

We’re pleased to share with you this recently finished cover-up by Tom. Stunning work, we’re sure you’ll agree! Got an ugly tattoo you want to pretty up? Come see us!
ATTENTION ALL TATTOO/PIERCING LOVERS!!
Black Heart are excited to announce that for the first time ever, (and quite possibly the last, haha!) we will be doing a SPECIAL FRIDAY 13TH DAY at the studio this Friday 13th December.
Giovanni , Tom and Emily (she is flying back especially for one day only!!) will each have a selection of small custom designs starting at £13 and ranging in price up to £66.60, available at this price for the whole day. And it gets better…we will be open and tattooing all evening til around 10pm. NO BOOKINGS, all walk ins on a first come first serve basis. This means that any of you that are working during the day won’t miss out, as you can come down after work to get your last chance for a Friday 13th tattoo this year, and the last double 13 (13.12.13) EVER!!
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, we will also be offering ALL PIERCINGS FOR £13! (no septums!)
We will aim to tattoo/pierce as many of you as possible that want doing, but when the designs run out, we will stop! Please remember your ID as obviously the rules still apply, and we will NOT tattoo you if you are smashed, so please save the drinking til afterwards if you are coming in the evening
As it is Christmas, there may be a few cheeky Christmas designs thrown in there as well, so if you’re not a fan of all things superstitious, there is the possibility of getting yourself a little festive souvenir too.
So, if you want to come and join in the fun (beware…there will be Christmas music, decorations and maybe the odd mince pie and glass of sherry available!) then get down to Black Heart in Epsom on Friday 13th December 2013!
Keep an eye out on here and on our instagrams: @blackhearttattooepsom @emblackheart @giovannibht @wookietattoo for sneak previews of the designs as we make them!
Spread the word, hope to see you all there!
We are so grateful and humbled by all the support we’ve had from our customers to raise money for this cause. We are still running the offer of doing this tattoo for £20 right until Christmas – available from Monday to Fridays. Call the studio – 01372 726300 – or just pop in to arrange. 🙂
Here are some of our amazing customers.
And there are many more we didn’t get to photograph but are equally grateful to! So thank you, all of you!
Black Heart will be offering this tattoo for £20 with all proceeds going to the disaster relief efforts in the Philippines.
The design is also a way for the international tattoo community to pay tribute to Jonas Agit Sustento, a tattooist and musician who died, along with his wife and many family members, as a result of the flooding in Tacloban City (Leyte Island).
If you’d like to unite with us in support by offering up a bit of skin for this cause, give us a call to arrange on 01372 726300. Or pop right in at 31 Upper High Street, Epsom, Surrey KT17 4QY.
