Craig Startin

I was recommended Craig by a close friend of mine who had an incredible colour realism tattoo. He did not disappoint! What a top bloke and an incredible tattoo artist.

Craig is the best uk portrait tattoo artist full stop. I’ve had many tattoos from Craig over the years and every time they heal perfectly. He is a Credit to the world of tattooing and a generous straight up bloke. During Lockdown he send me my deposit back as i was out of work due to covid and he never asked for if again when we rescheduled. I mentioned it but he said it fine it’s been a hard time for all of us don’t worry about it. What he didn’t say was how he had his studio locked down like for 21 weeks and never earnt a penny due to restrictions and also how he had lost his father during the covid outbreak too. What more can I say a real person not a fake like many people you meet in this day and age.

My hero and the all-time greatest boxer on the planet is Muhammad Ali. Whilst visiting my Dad in the UK I was looking for a tattoo artist who specialised in realism and I was recommended to contact Craig. Oh my gosh!! I'm so glad I did. Thank you Craig!! I cant believe the detail and quality of my Muhammad Ali Tattoo. When I got back home to show off to my friends, they was amazed and wanted to get on the next plane to get a tattoo off Craig. Dont hesitate to get a tattoo done by Craig.

What a gent and a proper tattoo artist!! I'm well chuffed with my Keith Flint Realism Tattoo.. It's a proper firestarter... I highly recommend Craig..

If you're looking for first-rate tattoos, make sure to visit Craig at BW Tattoo Studio in Lichfield. He crafted a black and grey wolf tattoo for me that's absolutely bang on. Craig's expertise is clear, and his attention to detail is incredible. The wolf on my skin looks so lifelike, it feels like it could leap off any second! The shading is sublime, with the blend of intense blacks and gentle greys giving the wolf a very realistic look. Chatting with Craig is a breeze, and he ensured I was comfortable all throughout. His studio is immaculately clean too, giving me confidence in his professionalism. In a word, Craig's craft is superb. If you're contemplating getting a tattoo, I couldn't recommend him more. He's transformed my skin into a work of art I'm truly proud to display.

Probley the best portrait artist in the UK and such a true genuine guy. Booking in was simple and efficient a quick deposit via bank transfer secured a date in his diary and he confirmed he had received it straight away. When I can to tattoo day he was very professional and made me feel at home the studio is a clean and professional environment and is a credit to Craig and his wife Jenny the piercer. After my tattoo Jenny pierced my helix and did a great job. If I could give them 10 stars I would perfect and so welcoming. Thanks again

Met Craig about 4 years ago, his work is always outstanding has a real passion for his art would recommend to anyone looking for a colour or portrait tattoo, great bloke always makes you feel at home and puts his clients first.

Craig did a portrait of my dog, all I can say is absolutely amazing! Fabulous artist, highly recommend

Great tattoo artist, I would highly recommend Craig! From the moment you walk into his studio, you feel welcome and comfortable - I’ve had four portraits done by Craig three of them meaning a lot to me and Craig absolutely smashed them out of the park, I wouldn’t trust anyone else more to do my portraits and I will definitely be returning for more tattoos! All round great guy and the best quality tattoos!

Top man, one of the best artists around 🤜🏼
