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?

Was thinking of getting something similar done myself mate, kind of like Lee Priest's forearm flames. Got any pics of yours?

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!

Yes that's the one - go in there and have a look, or Neil will draw one for you

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
