keepcalm Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Looking for suggestions for excellent tattooers in the UK -- I know there are many (I've seen many mentions here), but I've never looked into it myself and sadly didn't have the foresight to keep a running list. Black & gray, patterns, and lines. He said he wants something "kinda tribal," but my plan is to present him with a bunch of other awesome work/artists that will hopefully be up his alley but also be a bit more unique than tribal. He's down in Devon/Cornwall but travels often and will happily travel for this. The UK is tiny, after all! (said the American) P.S. Hope this post isn't bad form! I have done some research myself but always find it overwhelming when starting from scratch. Plus - I trust you guys! hogg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CultExciter Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Just go to Into You in London. I think they can cover that. Although there are sooooo many good shops. hogg, tatB, abees and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abees Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I would agree with Into You. Specifically Tomas Tomas, by the sounds of it. Also Maxime at Sang Bleu. Curly at Lionel's in Oxford.

keepcalm Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 GUYS! These are all amazing and perfect suggestions. I knew I could count on y'all! Thank you so much! (Keep them coming if you think of others!) And dammit now I might have to get my own tattoo from a UKer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I think if I was to start over knowing what I know know and was tougher than I actually am (or at least wanted to give that impression) I would get a Curly body suit. Hands down the toughest look in tattoos. I love that heavy British tribal thing. abees, Diehardonvhs and keepcalm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
