swift -> Where to find a GOOD tattoo shop/artist? (May 7 2008 16:04:19)
I know what im after in terms of tattoo but ive been around a couple local shops and with all due respect they are a bit sh1t. Im after something decent and will more than happily pay up for it. Is there a website or something where you can see which tatooists have the best reputation in your area?

I know you're local to me, so I'll recommend my mate Neil in Kettering. He's done 2 of mine and a lot of the guys down the gym. it's Tatto Inc on London Road

i dont know of any site that does (would like to see it if there is one!) i can recommend tattoo phil in fleetwood. people do travel all over to have one done, its a no frills studio and he is very to the point but his work is top class! http://www.tattoo-phil.co.uk/index.html

[;)] Cheers for the advice mate, but been getting tattooed since i was 15, am coming up 37 and there isnt much room left now, just been getting both fore arms covered with flames rising from wrist to elbow, Oh a top tip for anyone who will listen, buy EMLA cream to apply before getting tattoed i used it on my stomach and slept through getting my guardian angel done great stuff.

If your ever in Belfast mate, Belfast City Skinworks, dude who goes by the name Tommy Gun, whom i can vouch for, is the best this side of the Danube. I had a rather dodgy tattoo which needed either to be removed or covered (this i realised when i grew my own brain) at about the tender age of 20, anyway he covered what i had with a chinese dragon , one would have no clue what was there, check out the web for him, well worth the trip!

quote: ORIGINAL: swift james could you tell me what type of work he prefers to do/ is best at? celtic/oriental etc I honestly don't know mate - I've seen him doing a variety and he's a bloody good artist. I can tell you that he uses the best inks though - I've had tattoos done before and the quality is no where near as good as his two Maybe I am bias though as he's a mate - he's got a good physique too, and he's big into training
