I fancy checking this place out. Only about 40 minutes on the train. microbrewery london, microbrewery Cardiff, microbrewery Bristol, microbrewery reading, wood fire pizza Bristol, Blackheath pubs Not a huge range of beers to choose from, though.

I don't know. I like a bit of "Crash and Burn"

I work in an office environment with a small team working a nightshift and my workmates know I'm tattooed. All that is visable are the tips of an eagles wings on the back of my neck. The only reason I don't show them is that I always wear a long sleaved shirt at work, although once, when I had to pop in to work on my time off I was wearing a t shirt because thats how I usually dress when I'm not at work. At my age I couldn't care less about climbing the corperate ladder, never could when I think about it (never did like the idea of my tongue tasting of shit). The only reason that I don't have any tattoos on my hands is because you never know what is around the corner as far as employment is concerned and unfortunately tattoos still carry a stigma. During my last year at work, before I retire, I will get my hands done though.

I agree 100 per cent. They'll eventually put themselves out of business giving people shitty $20 tattoos and hepatitis

Best of luck to you. Your reputation will bring in the customers. Who needs clients that are only prepared to pay $20 for a tattoo, anyway. I like the idea about the sign saying "We fix $20 tattoos"

I realy like this guys work. His erotic art prints are something else.

If you smacked that it would trigger a tsunami.

There's quite a few good pubs. The Cambridge is pretty good and has a good range of draft & bottled beers. Its about a 5 minute walk. There's (Normans) Coach and Horses in Greek Steet or the Three Greyhounds (never been in there). Theres a Nicholsons pub in Frith Street the beers ok but the bogs are pretty disgusting.

I travel from Swindon, Wiltshire. The train is usually pretty much on time, most of the time. If I'm with my partner and if shes getting tattooed she likes to pop into Fiori, a nice cafe just outside Leicester Square tube station. Then, for her, a visit to the loo and then before we've even got to Frith Street (a 10 minute walk) its a visit to the Cambridge pub to visit their loo. Two visits in 10 minutes. What is it with female plumbing?

The lawyer serving Brady, Clive Evatt KC claimed to the coroner that there was not enough substance to begin the inquest. Evatt argued that an arm "did not constitute a body", and that Jim Smith, minus his arm, could still be alive.The case has remained unsolved to this day.

Good nights sleep. Eat a couple of hours before. Definitely no alcohol or painkillers prior too. Alcohol and some pain killers thin the blood. I don't want to bleed all over the place like a stuck pig. Draw enough cash from the ATM. Thats about it really.

I've had a couple of tattooers ask to take pictures of two very old tattoos that I have and I'm fine with that.

I suppose the short answer is that classic beauty is timeless. A bit of a cheesy answer I suppose. But short

This happened in the 1930s but its an amazing story. The shark arm case in 1935 A fisherman hooked a small shark off Coogee. A four-metre tiger shark then took the smaller shark and it was caught, too. Instead of dumping the catch, cutting it up on the beach or taking it to the fish markets, the fisherman took it to the Coogee aquarium, where it was thought it would make a wonderful attraction for the following Anzac Day weekend. While spectators watched, the shark vomited up a human arm. The arm was identified as having belonged to a James Smith, of Gladesville, a former SP bookmaker and bankrupt builder with minor convictions. His wife said a distinctive tattoo of a boxer on the arm "resembled" her missing husband's tattoo. His fingerprints were also matched with police fingerprints. Smith had last been seen drinking with his best friend, Patrick Brady, in a pub at Cronulla. Brady, well known to the law, was an expert forger. Another suspect, Reginald Holmes, tried to commit suicide, failed and accused Brady of the murder. Police let Holmes go and he was found shot dead. Brady was charged with Smith's murder. However, the only evidence available to L.J. McKean, the senior crown prosecutor, was that Brady was the last person seen with Smith and that after being confronted by the police, he had told a large number of lies about his whereabouts and movements. The judge directed a verdict of not guilty. Brady, a World War I veteran, died in Concord Hospital in 1965. Those lines look blown. Nothing worse than being identified by a poor quality tattoo.

This nice nice little scorpion. Tattooed by Frank Carter, who is guesting at Frith Street ATM. Quite an awkward place to tattoo (and photograph) as it wraps around the wrist.

The Royal family & their wealth is based on plunder. So yeah why not.

Yep, all being well. I'm on the second week of my holiday. Frank Carters doing walk-ins all day tomorrow. I'm looking to get either a nice little hot stuff or wolfs head on my wrist. Haven't 100% made up my mind yet.

Serious rioting and looting in Manchester. Police are holding a press conference as I write. A lot of 9-11 year olds out in Manchester looting. Manchester City Councillor is asking teenagers to stay off the streets tomorrow night. The level of violence is really bad apparently a lot of damage.

Thanks man. Lets hope this all calms down soon.

Keep safe Kyle

Good read that. Fair play to them I say.

Nothing in that part of London so far. Sporadic outbreaks of trouble in Hackney, Peckham. A much bigger police presence on the streets tonight in London though.
