Does anyone know anything about it and if it's any good? I'm planning getting a new one in a couple of weeks and I don't want to give that miserable cunt at Richard's any more of my hard earned cash for a shit tattoo and a big bucket of attitude.

Raport its called.
Daryl from retro's does the piercing there (and tattoo's?)

i think they aim to give you a unique tattoo. thats the impression i got from hearing them speak to customers when i was in getting a piercing. i've not heard of or seen any of the final artwork though. sorry.

I'd be interested to know who does the Tattoos there as well. They look like quite a professional little outfit but I was under the impression Darryl just does the piercings there.

Guy called Woody. Not sure if he posts on here. He's the main one. There's another guy too though, I'm not sure of his name.
I'm only ever in there for piercings, or just to see Darryl, but he's assured me on numerous occassions that the guys are really good and that if I ever wanted a tattoo, he highly recommends them. (Which he wouldn't say unless he really means it.)

From what I know, they are either exclusively 'freestlyle' or 'freehand' tattooists. I forget what the word is, but I'm sure it's one of those. Basically, although they still have a book of ideas, they won't tattoo you from a picture. You can bring in a design, or show them something you like, or describe it, and they will create an original piece for you, adapting it until it's exactly what you want. I could be wrong though, but I'm sure that's what they're about.

Obviously, best thing to do is give them a call, or find people who've actually had tattoos there.

I know it's not much, but hopefully that was a little bit of help.


Oh, and no, Darryl doesn't do tattoos, he isn't even part of that company, he rents his piercing room from Rapport, and pierces under the business name 'Tattooed Freak', or 'T2F'.

the guy who does the tat's hangs out in the moorings. james i beleive it may be. long hair, nose percing perhaps?

.

What if the design in the book is exactly what I want?!?

Then they'll give you exactly what you want, but just not the same as what you want.

[Lucky Rathen]

Then surely they are just giving me what they want.

AS far as I'm aware, Woody will try convincing you to get something unique, but I'm guessing if you want EXACTLY what is in a book (or your design you bring in) he'll try and do it.
