DJ Jo-D Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Can't see any pic's booo!!I just got one done in Metallergy in Dundee, my DJ partner in crime has a piercing and tat shop and have met the guy who designs them for you so are unique. Amzing artist, I really didn't see anything I wanted but sent loads of designs, went there and he free styled on my back with biro, then over with ink....LOVE IT, better than I would have imagined.....will get up a photo if I can work out how to use my phone!! hahaHighly recommend Metalergy in Dundee, lovley shop, people and ok there is a waiting list of about a month or so, but it's worth it!!

CJ1980 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Just joined the forum and saw this thread...Im a big Richards fan-have 1 from him and 1 from Jimmy but plan on a fair few more...I read alot of tattoo mags and they speak very highly of him and he is also regularly winning awards despite not attending many conventions himself.A couple of my friends have a lot of work from Draconian...2 full sleeves, chest piece etc and the results are VERY mixed. Some are very good but some very bad!Fair enough Richards can be quite grumpy and the studio layout doesnt lend itself well to a warm layout...BUT Id rather sit in silence and come away with a better piece than talk all the way through my session whilst Stix's mum brings me cups of tea and worry about the potential disaster of my tatt!

reido21 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 all 9 of mine are from draconian, never ever had a problem, i get treated like family in there anyway!been into richard's and a couple of others (rapport being one of them) not a huge fan of rapport, the guy always seems to want to change your design to make it easier for himself!!draconian will do there best to get the EXACT design you want if its humanly possible.

Guest Savant Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I went to Draconian for that one - Styx did it - what a dude! Totally cool and friendly. But I still think I'd go to richards for other ones cos they seem to prefer working with colour.PS I hate when I dunno who people are but they know me...been away from this site for too long!

GirlsBike2 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 A fair few of my friends have had tattoos done at Richards, and the general view is that he's nicer to guys than women. I've got 4 tattoos, two by Ash and two by Lee and they're both great tattooists. The ones by Ash are more bold, and Lee the more delicate designs. I went into Draconian with a uni chum, and when she showed them her design she wants they basically laughed, looked at her as if she was a stupid little girl and asked "are you sure that's something you want done, it's a bit big love". She went to Retro's and they said that it's easily something they could do for her. Draconians has gone downhill recently and just looks a shabby place where kids hang out because they think it's "cool".I'd stick with Retro Rebels, Richards is a horrible atmosphere and you don't want getting a tattoo to be torture or an experience you'd rather forget. Plus Ash and Lee are both really professional and make it as quick and painless as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empty-words Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Do you not need to complete an apprentiship of some sort to be a ''professioinal'' artist?if i go buy a saw and some bits of wood an i now a ''professional'' joiner?no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Savant Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Yeah but you can't do a course in tattooing at college, can you?And 'Profession' just means that you're doing it for a living, no? Your main job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Karloff Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 No thats why you do an apprentiship is it not?From the Collins dictionary :professionalADJ1 of a profession2 taking part in an activity, such as sport or music, as a means of livelihood3 displaying a high level of competence or skill ? a professional and polished performance4 undertaken or performed by people who are paid ? professional golfNa professional personThere are many, many careers that do not involve an apprenticeship.

xDamerx Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Just noticed this thread. I have quite a few tattoos and can tell the difference between a quality tattoo and a amateur looking tattoo. Richard produces very very high quality tattoos, oppose to Draconian who's tattoo's don't stand out at all. There's a reason why Richard's tattoos make it in magazines! Ok, Richards is quite straight up, cold, lifeless and not too cozy to be in, and so I've heard that Draconian serves it's customers better, but are you gonna want to have that comfort for an hour, and a shit tattoo for life, or have a an hour of getting tattooed by someone that won't talk to you much, but puts more concentration into you having a great tattoo(unless it's tribal! hehe)I now choose to go to a world famous tattoo artist in Copenhagen called Uncle Allan, and get work by him, cause he's rad! So that's my opinion on this matter. Opinion only.Word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
