Sol James Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Hello everyone. I'm interested to know your favourite artists in the UK. Maybe I'll learn something. Mine change on a weekly basis but I'll start. in no real order by the way! 1: Andrea Giulimondi 2: Sway 3: Oliver Macintosh 4: Joe Ellis 5: Rich Hadley What are your opinions on my list?

Graeme Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I don't like this idea of ranking people to be honest. Nothing against any of those people. MoistTowelette 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol James Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Come on mate... Like I said, it's in no order. just list your favourite artists! It's who I'd like to get tattoos off! It's not meant to be disrespectful.. Dan and bongsau 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Don't ask for opinions if you're unwilling to hear the answers you receive. How many of your "top five" have you been tattooed by? RoryQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1105 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 My UK artist list: Joe Ellis because I was tattooed by him and is a really nice guy. Soap because he tattooed my friend and is a really nice guy. Graeme, Sol James, tatB and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol James Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 As I said, it's a list of who I'd like to get tattooed by. I had no idea this was the wrong thing to do. I apologise profusely for any upset I may have caused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol James Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 On a slight side note, I've just seen on Instagram that Matthew Houston is moving back to London... This is sensational news as he is another favourite of mine. Can I say he's a favourite or will other artists get offended?!:) Shaun1105 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1105 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Anyone can be your favourite! And you can have any list or ranking that you want! I don't think anyone was/is offended or upset at all. You just have to realize that sometimes @Graeme doesn't like things. And that's ok too. Sol James 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I don't think anyone was/is offended or upset at all. You just have to realize that sometimes @Graeme doesn't like things. And that's ok too. It's true, I am the grumpiest person here. And of course we all have our favorites--you can tell who mine are because I've been tattooed by many of them--I just really don't like the idea of a top whatever list or ideas about "the best" because that kind of stuff belongs on reality TV or on know-nothing clickbait sites. The best tattoo is the tattoo that is made well, that you like, and that you had a good experience getting. If you like a tattooer, get tattooed by him or her. Everything else is silly. daveborjes, joakim urma and Shaun1105 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Hi guys, nothing wrong with asking who peoples' favorite artists are. perfectly legit question, and a fine use of LST if you ask me. People are here to learn about good tattoo artists so if someone learns about a good artist through this type of poll, then it's a win.

Joe Shit Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Yeah,it's a good thing to share info about a tattooer who's work you like even though you may personally never get tattooed by that artist.I know a lot of artists in UK travel to the States to work,and maybe I will get a chance to be tattooed by a few of them.I did come across an artist in the UK who I wasn't aware of,and really like his chrysanthemums a lot.So another artist on the list. https://instagram.com/elliottwells666 https://instagram.com/akumashugi This guy does beautiful animals like the Monmon cats sighthound 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1105 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 ...Richie Clarke (even though I technically did get tattooed by him a couple years back in Dallas). I feel like this part needs an explanation. Did you accidentally get tattooed by him somehow? Was it such a small tattoo that you aren't counting it? Or are you saying you want to get tattooed by him again? :) tatB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sighthound Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'll admit, I'm not aware of that many UK artists even though I love the shit out of a lot of the stuff that's been coming out of Europe in general. Maybe now I can add some more names to the list. @Joe Shit wow, nice find - his stuff is amazing. Joe Shit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoryQ Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I'm going to mention Mo Coppoletta (The Family Business Tattoo). Mo is not a 'tattoo community' guy and he doesn't put pictures of his work online anymore. No secret I've got a lot of work by him, but to me he is just getting better and better. polliwog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
