Probably very busy, they're a well-known shop.. but for quality work you may have to get on a waiting list for a few months.

Wise choice:biggrin:
I did once an ear piercing there; after few weeks, it got badly infected despite being careful with it & cleaning it ! I nearly lost my ear...it burnt quite impressively

I do get that, but it says that the shop won't take appointments by phone so people can get roughly an idea of the waiting list. How much do you think a five word tattoo (+ shapes around them)on the forearm will cost there?

Anw, thanks for your help & if you know another place, don't hesitate.

Evil from the Needle in camden is well known and a great studio

I rate No Limit Tattoo just off brick lane, I've had a fair bit of work done there now and would reccomend them to anyone who likes old school aesthetic tattoos.

I can't stand Louis Molloy's tattoo's, I do not see the attraction to them at all.

Really hard to say dude, could be £100-ish...

I'm trying to think of a few more around the London area that I've seen:

Those 2 are awesome, if I think of any more I'll post them here. I'd fully recommend Family Business though, their artists and portfolio are some of the best in the UK right now.

I'd really recomment Kings Cross Tattoo on Kings Cross road. Everyone there is a fantastic artist and I absolutely love the tattoo I had done there!

Snappy Gomez is a fabulous artist as well as having a cool name:

I would have to agree David Barclay at London Tattoo was awesome he can be found at www.london-tattoo.com

I also now note they have a South London store www.london-tattoo-south.com

I had some awesome dotwork geometry tattoos done by David and then had a portrait done by a guy called Ondrej and a mad black and grey Jesus by a dude called JP

The guys here are all proper safe dudes the the reception girls wicked too

Thanks guys
