xDamerx Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 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!Word my brotha from anotha motha!

Guest Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Sorry to bring up an old thread. Just thought I'd say, I got a tattoo done at Richards and he was quite short with me during, but I wouldn't call him rude or even a dickhead.He was perfectly nice afterwards and to be honest, I'd rather he just concentrated on the task at hand. Very pleased with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali1501 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 i didn't realise how hard it was to take a picture of your arm by yourself. haha. i know i look like a twat.I love this tat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbroken Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Paul Slifer at Red Hot And Blue is doing my arm, and he is just awesome.His work is unbelievable. He managed to do a piece on my arm, going from wrist to elbow on my inner forearm in 2 hours. That was linework, shading and colouring.Couldn't recommend him enough.

Him and Richard seem to be 2 of the most regognised artists in Scotland. Im not really into old school like he does but really keen to get something from Sarah and Red Hot and Blue.

You have to make sure you get exactly what you want, to the standard that you want it.I'd probably suggest Richard's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality guy, really, really friendly and a stonking great tattoo artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
