A good tattoo artist in London?

Looking for a half sleeve to be done with shoulder/chest etc…

But I want a top boy/girl to do it, not some randomer to scar my pretty skin with :wink:

Recommendations please?

PM tattooist750chick :stuck_out_tongue:

It very much depends on the style you want, but these guys are very good and have guys/girls that do a range of styles.

dave bryant @ evil from the needle in camden

I dunno about Indonesianstyle but for Japanese work you could try Nikole (she was in London Ink):http://www.nikolelowe.com/

Dave Bryant @evilfromtheneedle looks pretty good…I have been looking to get a half sleeve for a while now so please keep me posted with anything you may find…:smiley:

if i can get some clear pics of my sleeve by dave i’ll post them up so you can get an idea of his work. in the meantime though he has a myspace web page which you can access. and the website (google evil from the needle) might be up and running now (it has been down for a while).
another artist to consider and currently the top of my list for my next sleeve is Valerie Vargas at Frith Street Tattoo in Soho

a mate at work had this done in frith…the clours really are top knotch, very neat work!

I know alot of people who have had tattoos done by George over the years, hubby and daughter included…oh also Tug :smiley:

Yeah please do post a picture mate…I’d love to see it. I checked Dave’s space already but still did not have the time to visit him…Does he accept walk in or you need to book well in advance with Dave? :)By the way, just checked Valerie’s work as per your advice…awesome work! I may go and visit them instead…:smiley:

Just called frith studio…apparently Valerie has 10-12 months waiting list…happy days!

lol. i didn’t want to mention her waiting list! :slight_smile:
as for dave he doesn’t really do walk in’s. although for small stuff evil from the needle will take it walk ins but there trying to become a tattoo shop specialising in more collectors piece. you’ll have to book a consultation and then go from there. I waited 4 month from consultation to first session.
camera is dead so i’ll give it charge and hopefully have some pics up within the next few days.

Tribal stuff looks awesome.

A friend of mine has had a shoulder and chest piece done here: http://www.blackheartstudio.co.uk/index.htm

From what I can see - the work is very good - the fine lines are so perfect!

The studio is located in Epsom, Surrey.

Firstly give tattoochick a PM also check out Diamond Jacks in Soho, I am getting some work done there in March by Gino Angelove.

I’ve just stuck down a deposit with Andi Bone in New X (http://www.tribalize.co.uk/). Seen quite a bit of his work. Amazing stuff. Appointment only as he works out of his house rather than shop. He’s been established there since '83.
