Do you have a tattoo?
Discussion
I do have a few tattoo's and mostly on my forearms. I have been thinking of getting them removed for sometime now. They are hidden with long sleeve but I would like to wear short sleeves at times and simply won't due to my regret of them and it does make me feel a bit on the chav side, which is daft. I was early 20's and it seemed a great idea. I would not remove the ones on my shoulder but seriously thinking it is time for the forearm tats to go.

What surprises me is most of the complaints seem to be based on the fact that the show is scripted and employs actors (i.e. the receptionist). Are people really so stupid they believe the whole thing is 'real', or are they just seeking 5 seconds more fame by making the complaints?When you apply to go on TV surely you can expect to visit a filming set environment and not a typical tattoo studio? FML how dim are these people.

He's been tattooing less than 3 years and is self-taught from a Chinese tattoo machine he bought on eBay.
His tattooing is HORRIBLE, and pretty much any professional tattoist hates him. There is a massive campaign to get him off the tv as it is ruining the perception of the UK tattoo industry if people think that his work is the highest standard in the UK.
Yes, I can finally answer after having been interested in getting one for about 20 years. I've known for a while what I wanted and decided that I would get it done this year.
I'd sent an email to get a consultation at a shop to discuss my design but never heard back from them. Work got in the way and I never managed to just visit them. In the meantime, I stumbled upon an image on Instagram and decided straight away, that he was the person that would do the work and contacted another shop.
It's getting done at the only tattoo shop in London that I've ever been to, Into You. James Lovegrove is the artist. It's a work in progress, I've had 4 hours work, another 16-20 to go. A nice little first tattoo! It's still in the healing process, and not the best angle, but you get the idea!
I love it, another session booked for a few weeks time. I should have got it done years ago.
ps : Excuse the hairy nipple.

Nice. Keep the progress pics coming!
We were in again a couple of weeks back. Mrs Johnny was in for another (probably penultimate) session on her back piece.
She ended up walking out with the start of a Japanese sleeve (Samurai mask, peonies, and Geisha) on her right arm. As you do
Pic of the initial freehand sketching. Only the basic line work was done on the day.
Bit jealous! But has helped make my mind up about my backpiece at least.

Well in a strange twist of fate, it would appear that I am also now booked in for a hand poked piece by Kat. Saw it on her feed and thought that's the one for me.
I've actually reserved two, as there was another one of hers I really liked from a month or two ago, but I'm going to be a good boy and ration myself to one at a time because it's starting to get silly now.

Finally got in to see Kat today and you are quite right, she is absolutely adorable. What a lovely person, one that is very very talented indeed. My first hand poked tattoos (a little weird and very different from a machine, so much so, I don't feel I've had them done 8 hours ago):

It would now appear that I have now committed to some work by Kola....
