Why push this year if you want a decent tattooist? anyone decent should not have space now

Craig cardwell in Blackpool is quality - let him know Simon Harris sent you - but you wont get in this year (thats a pipe dream)


Or you could just book in with anyone and get it done tomorrow wink
Which studio does he work at? have you been tattooed by him? just interested as would be interested in a good artist local to me smile

Genuinely not trying to be provocative at all, but what is the attraction with either of these tattoos? I really don't get it.

I can understand and appreciate they are beautifully done.
Me neither, great artwork no doubt, but why have them as a tattoo?
I don't think you're allowed to talk negatively about tattoos in this thread! eek

"Why the fk not" isn't really a reason as to why someone has a life-long body modification.

Why get so arsenal when someone asks a reasonable question? Oh, that's right - you have to give everyone an ego wk on this thread rolleyes

No not at all. Don't really care about anybodys ego on this thread or indeed anywhere else. What I do care about is people judging others on what choises they make that affext them, and only them.
I mean would you have a grievance with somebody who chose to change their body composition by bodybuilding? Its a permanent change achieved with vast effort and lifestyle restrictions, benefiting nothing but their own self perception?

Can anyone recommend an artist, preferably in the North-West, who can fit me in this year? I have a piece already designed, slightly Japanese style, and I'm desperate to get it done.

I've tried Rob at Immortal in Carlisle but "it's not really his style".

Cheers
Vintage Tattoo studio in Farnworth. Mikey from there is great with black and grey.
Glen who also works there is ace at jap/colour style.

hehe

Why the fk not? Because you look like a total fking Bellend with a gorillas face on your calf?

Jeez. I asked a perfectly reasonable question and you act like your stereotype. A tattooed dick.
I clearly stated I was not being provocative.

But, thank you. You've reminded me why I come on PH once in a blue moon these days. It's full of s and chavs.

Cool, not actually met anyone else who has had work by him before. He's a good guy but hard to track down I've found.

Always feels weird when you get a compliment on your tattoo's as I'am just the canvas for the artist.

To buy a canvas from an art supplies shop would cost him a fiver, yet you rock up and pay hundreds to let them doodle for free.

I'm not a massive fan of the tattoo in question.

But honestly, the people banging on about how it's "fking tragic" "you look like a total bellend" calling people "s", "chavs" and "tattooed dicks" are the only ones coming across like a shower of pathetic, miserable wkers that have nothing better to do.

I put it to you, if you think that everyone here is a 'chav' or '', feel free to fk right off and don't come back, it's people like you that are dragging this place down from the tolerant fun environment it should be, to the one you think it's turning into.
Tolerance goes both ways fella.

And I am having fun, I haven't laughed as hard as I did when I clicked on here for ages! I wouldn't go so far as to call anyone a for having a tattoo, well not without meeting them first, but if you don't think the explosion of tattoos is being fuelled by errrrrm, lets say, the 'masses' then you are seriously deluded.

Used to be quirky, and expression of individualism even, now it is just fking tragic actually.

/the above represents my personal feelings, I do hope you will be respectful and tolerant of my views.

But you're already individual. Why do you need to go to such relatively extreme lengths to emphasise it?

Do you honestly believe the people going and getting (most) of the sort of tattoos we're seeing in this thread, actual pieces of artwork, as opposed to a traced tribal sleeve, are going and doing so because they saw a chav in the street with such a design?

If you do, someone here is deluded, and it's not me.

I have a tattoo. Just one. And it's not finished (long stupid story)
But I'm 30, married, homeowner (x2) listen to metal, blues, rock, play guitar, have a degree, work as an engineer. Having a tattoo, to me, is absolutely nothing to do with 'fashion' or what 'the masses' are doing. If you can't understand that sort of individuality, well, that's a bit sad.
I don't remember saying people here were motivated to go and get their tattoos because a load of orange gym-aholic chavs have gone and done it.

I'm saying you are however aligning yourself with that segment of society whether you like it or not.

As for this 'artwork' that keeps getting bandied about. I can talk with some authority on that coming from a family of artists. Most of the stuff on here looks the produce of a late developing a-level student. Skulls etc - please.... don't convince yourself this is some highbrow artistic expression that the rest of us just don't 'get'. You only have to observe the confluence of subject matter to see that these 'artists' are as deep as a puddle in their expression.
