People
I'm considering getting a Merciful release logo done. I'm a little bit apprehnsive of getting one done due to my lack of knowledge of the quality of tattooists (I'm in the Midlands).
Can anybody recommend a good one?
Cheers kids.

heartland's very own "biggy" is located in barnsley - bit of a treck but could be worth it

he specialises in black and white work, and i would think he'd be more than familiar with the MR logo

Cheers Quiff. I had a quick look at the site, he's damn good. Does he post on here often? I shall have a word.
Thanks again.

Mine is going to be a Claddagh bracelet around my left wrist. In woad of course. When I get the nerve to do it...a bit scared. Somewhere in the design will be the initials of a man I love...want to venture a guess on that?
AE ..looks nice huh?

BeeP the man you love's initials FFS?

tattoo advice? easy. just don't.
tattoos are at best unimaginative and at worst just plain nasty.
scarification is the way forward.

Oh My Gawd! I agree with RJ, is this a first?

FFS? Who is that?
AE imbedded in a tat is a far cry better than putting the name of some sh*t I already know. And it 's gonna be small. Very very small, only 1/4 inch width. If I end up hating Andrew, I'll have his initials colored over.
But thanks anyways, faithful Barman Blast.

If I'd ever had a tattoo it was going to be a pair of crimpers so maybe it's best I never bothered. My mate Shaun, at Fibber's in York, did make the mistake of asking me for a suggestion and ended up with a cup of tea on his arm...

@ Richey James - "Scarification" - Are you serious? - I hazard a guess that you are you are joking, hopefully?
If not - I can give the telephone number of my shrink!

I like em anyway. My 2 Ronnies tattoo is getting lonely, they need some company.

nope. deadly serious. every f**ker and his wife has or is getting tattoos. if you really want to stand out from the crowd it's time to take a sharp blade to your flesh....
If not - I can give the telephone number of my shrink!
i'm glad you're getting help but my mental health is fine. thanks for the offer anyway...

i have a "piercer" mate in leeds who specialises in scarification if you REALLY want to go down that route.
there's not many tatooists that would do it, but this guy's trained and really good

Oh for Christs sake. Just slit your nose and be done with it. Richey,...you are acting on shock value alone.
Bah! Bad Tempered Boy!

crimpers!
and cup of tea?? and two ronnies??!??
made my day those have!!
scarification can look good if done right. it's like haircuts. you can go and get it done right and look cool as f**k, or you can have a hack at it yerself and look like an escaped mental patient. (and in some rare cases - look great with it)
DIY is fun...
