Tattoo parlour - london/kent area

SidewinderINC · 06-02-2008, 19:16

Right, I don't care about anyone saying "don't get a tattoo" or whatever other carp you might spout, I'm not interested.

I'm after getting a tattoo, and I have no idea where to start looking for a good artist - I was given some links a while back but I found them very confusing

as I didn't know what was good and what was bad.

I'm good for travelling into and around london to get it done so if there are any top notch (but reasonably priced - do not read that as cheap, I know you get what you pay for) artists that you inked people might know of that don't have a waiting list of a year or more then please let me know

I'm ok for researching myself too, but don't really know where to start.

Can't help with suggestions for your area I'm afraid

I know about *insert his name* in craft crazy, but his waiting list is about a year, hrmpf.

Why not go in an have a look at them, i'm sure karbon will be able to help you with names and places.

I don't think anyone here is going to tell you not to do it

Hehe, I know a lot of people here are inked but there are the odd few people everywhere that are vehemently against them.

I would go in and have a look, if I knew where to look

It isn't that people here are inked, they are respectful of other peoples choices

have a look on bmeink at their list of london studios, should give you something to start with http://bmeink.com/bme-tatt-exp-loc-009.html some London tattoo stories here with the studios mostly mentioned.

Would Moh be in the know?

Mohinder · 06-02-2008, 21:13

Jeff and Bert at Skynyard in Southend are both very good.
