Tattoos

Havent yet heard of anyone here being an artist, just tons of the guys can recommend you to good one.

Im in love with diamonds and skulls. Already got two diamonds, but getting a sleeve based on that, roses, dotwork and some blackwork.

that is a point,
did sailor jerry ever have anything to do with the rum or is it the selling of a name after there founder passed, in the vain of Von Dutch

He did, I believe.

fair do's

never made it commercially himself, but had a recipe. sounds fair

that said i like the new taste didn't like the original. too sweet.

Ta lileth, not sure about he diamonds - girls best friend - but skulls are me!

I noticed a post many pages ago mentioning the owner of "Prick" in shoreditch. He did my backpiece. Great work I love it, but he named the shop after himself i reckon! adn I dont want to give him any more of my money.

hence trying to find another, seen in2u mentioned a number of times and Frith street. I also randomly saw a place on mare street Hackney, run by a latino and his son I think. anybod know the place? the work?

and whats this fixation with sailor steve? he a legend for his work? or people just like his lifestyle! lol

I think the fixation with Sailor jerry is to do with his tattooing style, which is old skool, but appearing very mainstream now.

cool, ta

Some pretty awesome snaps from Taipai this year...

@ Mr G - I had a piece done at Frith St and the guy who did it was amazing but the owner was a total twunt and their 2 best artists, imo, have left now. I wouldn't recommend there.

I'd recommend an appointment not sure if they do walk ins....i booked as i travelled in from Essex.
They have a Flash Art Book of Sailor Jerry Tat's....also a few pics of them on their Facebook Page...search Forever More Tattoo

cheers nigel.
still can't find that flash book- either on facebook, their website, or their myspace.
or is it a physical book at the place?
either way I might just ride over today and have a chat.

if you search Facebook as Forever More Tattoo should come up...
Their website i think is being updated.
You Lucky your local'ish...if i was i'd be spending to much there

knuckle, is that your sugar skull tatt in that flickr stream? it's lush!!

Correct, thankyou, they are all mine on that flickr, all done by the same artist also. One before it was his job, a couple during his sort of apprenticeship period and now out on his own.

Quick and easy way to split your lobes imo.

Rubbish.

There's no reason to start small, I pierced and stretched straight to 5mm and healed in super quick time (which probably had more to do with the glass than anything else) you only need to go slow once the fistula has formed.

Totally agree, place has gone to shit recently. Xam is now at Family Business and others have left...

One a friend is doing at the moment, I love the eye Idea.

I went there to see JayJay Dallas. Nutter, love him. Had to have a bit of retouching as some bits were patchy, but that happens I guess. Really approachable and great to sit and work out designs with. Top bloke.

Watch it, he's a mate of mine

haha!

Fucking love that.

So?

I'll get him onto you, he'll chew your face off

Ha!

As with most people who seem like twats I'm sure if I knew him I'd probably think different. He does carry an air of arrogance and a rather large chip on his shoulder though.
