Benji Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Reminds me of my holiday in Turkey when I was 18. I got a henna tattoo of my then girlfriend's name tattooed on my chest to show her (for a laugh mind) when I got home. Apparently you're not meant to wash them for an hour or 2 after. I went in the sea not long after and funnily enough it got all blurry' date=' went back to complain and had to pay the full whack of a fiver or so again. Got home, got dumped (apparently I was meant to call her "at least once" when I was away and she'd had time to think etc) and my tattoo faded away sadly like our love. [/quote']Aww. Lol.I also had a henna tat in Gumbet, turkey. And like you I had to wait 2hrs for the scabby bits to fall off. Only I had it done in the early hours of the morning, and once I got to my hotel 10minutes later I ko'd. Waking up with a sheet stuck to the tat wasn't the best like. And I had to go about wearing a top untill it faded. It was a quality henna an all, of Che guevara.. well smudged it though.So aye. I think Draconians is the best bet, although I'm intrigued to see the attitude on the boy Richard, maybe slap him about for his crimes against you all. Anyone got some tat pics?

Lemonade Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Here's my chest one, I got it done when Chinese writing was all the rage. It means Peace and I got it over my heart.As you can see it's a little bit patchy, as you can also see I am quite pale, hairless, and have saggy tits.

Chi 666 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 what about ash from retro rebels..? i have seen some amazing tat's done by himthat may be, but no way near the quality of stix, kev or even dick(head).Draconian is the bomb, they are really helpfull in there and they let you have a break when ever you want. Stix did my last one and he is a sound as fuck guy.Fuck Dicks! i hate every member of staff there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afro Droid Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 My Batman sleeve, not the best photo admittedly, and it's not finished, but you get the idea. Done at Richards, he was a grumpy bastard, but it looks ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
666 Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 mmmh, so how does one fight bad attitude?i mean, from whats being said here, Richards does not seem a nice place to get your tattoo done, but surely, you must be able to level with them, right?

KarmaTsunami Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 i got my last one done at Red, Hot and Blue Tattoo Studio in Edinburgh. I am unbelievably happy with the results and will be going back there to get more work done on my back. I've been tattooed by Ash at Retros, two nautical stars when I was 18. I was also tattooed by Kev at Draconian. Richard's work (the stuff i've seen in tattoo magazines) is brilliant, but I am put off going because of what I've heard about his attitude. Here's my tatt, as done by Paul Slifer of previously mentioned Edinburgh studio.http://www.redhotandbluetattoo.co.uk/root/images/zoom/QFYEMQ/viewsize/pict0006.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psydoll Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 http://www.redhotandbluetattoo.co.uk/root/images/zoom/QFYEMQ/viewsize/pict0006.jpgLooks very good in the pic, most colourful I meant to ask earlier in the thread if anyone had any slightly out of town preference like Glasgow or Edinburgh tattoo artists.Also does anyone have any pics of tattoos that Ash has done out of interest?

Guest bluesxman Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I've had no problem with piercings from Richards, though I'd rather go to Daryl at Retro Rebels these days. Richards does the best tats by a country mile, and let's face it - he might be abrupt, but you're not there to have a nice chat about the weather. I'd rather have good work done by someone who was a bit off than shoddy work done by someone who was nice.Exactly. He did my girlfriend's first tattoo a while back and I'd warned her he could seem a bit offhand but he was really nice to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon Of The Fall Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 i had mine done at Draconian a few months back and was so pleased with everything (including how friendly all those guys are) i wouldnt even think about going anywhere else for my next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 that's the same reason i'm going back to paul. he made me feel so incredibly at ease while he was doing the work...it was just such a relaxed studio. draconian was alright too, but one day i want to go to King of Kings in Holland to get one.

Gumpy Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I had mine done at rebals and ill definatly be going back.Richard is seemingly once of the best tattoo artists in the country...but as everyone has said, he is meant to be a bit of an arse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger_Snaps Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 So far all i've really read is ,if you want a good cup of tea go to Draconians but if you want a shit hot tattoo go to Richards. I'd have to agree with the people that said the work done at Richards is untouchable by the other studios standards. I got my first tattoo from Draconians and was happy with it but then i got a half sleeve done at Richards, man i'm just embaressed with my first one, so much so i've asked Richards to design me a cover up. It's just far superior work.,Draconian should stick to what their good at, maybe open a cafe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntereR Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Has to be DraconiansI've got friends whose had tattoos done by richards and have faded quite bad and to repair them he was going tocharge full price again.I got Li II (a giger painting) on the back of my leg by Styxx, I didn't have much money so he let me doit in installments, once a month for three months, said it was better that way, because before he did more he could see how the rest looked, and so therefor the last time was just a touch up, he always offered me breaks which I declined but was nice to be offered.And at the end when I asked him if I moved at all, He said sometimes I spasmed but that it was no problem, spoken like a true professional. I live in france now but when I getmy next tattoo, I'm coming back to Drac's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
