Tattoo's

edited June 2011 in Not Sports Related

Thinking of getting a tattoo. Non Charlton related though.

Just wondering if anybody had any recommendations of tattoo studio's or artist's. I know what style and sort of thing i want, i just need it designed for me and somebody who is able to do the style i want.

What tattoo's have you got and what were your experiences?

    Brad Sims - Sims Tattoos in Croydon. Lovely bloke, great to talk to whilst getting the work done and, most importantly, a f***ing excellent artist. Does superb oriental work if that's your thing.

    Cheers people, i appreciate the recommendations so far.

    What i want is sort of unusual. Not oriental.

    I want to go for a religious half sleeve (eventually.) Similar to the picture i have attached (i hope it uploads!)

    I know not many people will like that style, or theme, but i do. I just need someone to design it for me, and someone who can actually do it.

    Owned by Dan Simms, hes done all my work, all Japanese, including 14 hours of work on my back, great artist, lovely bloke, long waiting list (this is a good thing). The Thai chap you refer to is the wonderful Mr Ya, I believe he is still there.

    I'm in the process of planning my next needle work, so will be visiting Dan soon.

    In Brighton there are a couple of places, including one that was on the pier. The oriental designs looked good, but they said the translations on loads of them were meaningful and significant, as in 'your soul is mine to love', but the actual characters meant, more often than not, things like 'did you remember to buy the toilet paper' and such like.

    I have one of those "Chinese" tattoos Seth.  I cringe everytime I see it. Luckily its on my shoulder so that's infrequently.

    Had it done with a severe hangover on a whim in Stoke about 12 years ago.

    Cringeworthy and really tacky as the only interaction I have with Chinese culture is via the origin of my trainers and the odd takeaway.

    I live in London. Eltham.

    Theres a place in Greenwich that a mate has recommended, called living image. They seem to have a few designs in the style i want. But im keeping my options open. Drawing up a shortlist to visit

    Yes agreed, thats why its best to get your own Kanji made. I had mine done by a friend who's grandmother is Japanese, she translated it, drew it up on rice paper and the tattooist copied it!! Happy Days! Mind you she suffers from dyslixia dyslaxitive word blindness! ;o)

    As an aside, years ago a certain Tatooist that I know (who shall remain nameless) was tattoing the cockerall logo on a Spurs fan shoulder, said Tatooist supports Arsenal (spurs fan did not know this). Spurs fan was caning Arsenal fans, so tattooist tattooed AFC on Spurs fan and then covered it with shading  and colour so it cant be seen, although ethically wrong I dont have a problem with this!

    Ipwich? Classic. 
    My friend (who did all of mine) tattooed "Jam" on his leg instead of "The Jam". He then tattooed all around it so can't fix it. It is my favourite tattoo of all time.

    well thats a good reason not to get it done there aint it!

     

    get Graham to do it but you have to book. Why give the work to someone who aint CAFC? and to top it all he will sing "The sash" while he is doing it---top fella.

    Haven't got any and very thankful too as I can't imagine what they would look like now after my plastic surgeon has finished cutting out bits of skin cancer!  Like some badly completed jigsaw i guess.

    Whoever you ge to do it, if it contains any words, make sure it's someone who can spell and knows were apostrophes go (or don't go).
