There are various tattooers that do UV ink, not quite sure who in London/England does it, but not many, because some tattooers will argue that UV ink may not be safe in the long run, apparently cancerous, so the jury is still out on that one.
I'm not going to get one until I know more about how safe it is. -
Anyone know any amazing Japanese style artists in Leeds?
Already had some work done by Diego which is brilliant but looking for something from someone else, has to be immaculate!
I can't recommend these guys strongly enough, if you don't mind travelling to Sheffield

*We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to amend current Employment Descrimination Law to protect the rights of People with Tattoos and Piercings. More details
Submitted by Anna Invernizzi of Fighting Against Workplace Prejudice for Alternative People
Modified people are not being protected by the law; Companies and organizations face massive implications for not hiring a person based on their age, disabilities, sex or gender, race or religion, sexual orientation or criminal past – but appearance is not once mentioned, and there is nothing to stop an employer from witholding a position based on how someone looks - the only exception being if a body modification is in contravention of health and safety laws. People with tattoos, piercings, unusual hair style and/or colour should be given the same rights as everyone else, and should be protected by the law to avoid mindless discrimination whether they are seeking employment (to include a prospective employer witholding a position) or are employed and experiencing descrimination from their employers (to include witholding promotion or experience of bullying from colleagues) based on their appearance.*

I have no problem in hiding my stretched ears, my tattooed arms and feet. It's fine by me, I dont mind looking "professional"
However I do think it's annoying that they will judge you on something silly like a nose/tongue piercing, hair colour etc."
Interested in hearing your opinions though with "Mods" Vs Workplaces/Jobs

I should describe it better:
biomechanical in tattoo terms means a reimagining of machinery in a biological setting- which i think is lame.
but I mean like a cut through the skin- so more towards anatomy.
imagine an MRI image on the exact location of the vertebrae and the acromioclavicular joint and all the ligaments there in.
Like a Da Vinci, but on the skin:
thats the true meaning of biomechanical. the mechanics of the living things, in this case the arm.Just dont get too caried away

Thou Art are great - my mate Becca used to work there and she came back with some excellent work from the guys in that place.

Looking at getting some work on my chest soon so I've been searching around trying to find someone in London who's good at black and grey. Whilst internet searching I stumbled upon this guy:

His stuff looks incredible! I've never really seen tattoos like them. Like a cross between the tattoos you see in those russian criminal tattoo encyclopedias books mixed with medieval woodcuts.
I don't think he's in London at the moment, if he was he'd be getting a phone call from me soon

Oh shit sorry. Think that's the first repost I've done, I feel ashamed.
