My parents went abroad recently and my Dad had a tattoo done there on his arm which was pretty good quality. They were chatting and he mentioned that I'm in Aberdeen and into tattoos and the guy actually recommended Richard's down at the docks because he trained Richard! I don't think I would go there now after what you guys have said about him, the tat artsists back home are cocks, they are really rude and their language is degrading and absolutely foul, even for me, and I swear like a good 'un! I hated being in their company and I am sure they over charged me just because I was a young female. I do love the tats they've done though. Ash (Retro Rebels) is really good at colour work, he did a lovely cover up on my shoulder that everyone makes cool comments about and I love it to bits. He's such a sweet guy too, quite quiet and polite. I enjoyed being tattoo's by him. He even did a touch up of another tat (wasn't originally his) at the same time as my cover up for free! I've not been to Draconian, mainly because I can't find the place!!!!! I've been all the way up George street and not seen it... If anyone goes to Edinburgh and is looking for a new tattoo, try Tribe, one of the stores is on Cockburn Street below the clothibng shop cookie. There's a guy there called Erik and he is amazing at black work. I have three done by him and I love them all, my bf has one by him and another done by a woman who works there (who apparently has a rep for being a bit rough, but the bf says she was gentle) and she's really good too. Personally I prefer to put the care of my body in the hands of someone who is friendly, I couldn't trust someone who is being rude to me, I'd be paranoid that he'd cock up cos he thinks I'm a twat or is having a bad day....
