The all things tattoo megathread

[Sheff Laser]

Any one got any suggestions for a good clean hygienic tattooist for an intricate word art tattoo? Dont fancy sitting in someones kitchen either.

 

Used feline previous with no problems but are there any ones that specialise in written verse tattoos ?

 

Cheers

Hello

 

My wife would like a memorial tattoo and has never had a tattoo before, she is aware it will hurt however would like to find an artist who will be respectful and sensitive not one that will laugh (as found when been for quotes before) when she asks for numbing cream for example. Shes been through enough emotional pain and I would like to find a tattoo artist who can treat her will some respect for the reason she is having this done and cover her foot in numbing cream! or knock her over the head before he/she starts LOL. You know what I mean though.

 

many thanks in advance

would she consider another area of the body which is not as painful - after a short while she will get used to the pain

Thats very helpful. However her foot is the only place she would like one, she doesnt like visable tattoo's on woman on a daily basis, but wouldnt mind one on her foot to show if she wanted to wear sandals. The other parts of her body wouldnt be appropriate for this kind of tattoo really I dont think. Im hoping with the idea she as it doesnt have much detail and its fairly simple so as painful as it will be it shouldnt take long, and hopefully some strong numbing cream will work.

From what I am aware of no shop uses numbing cream anymore!! It isn't that bad on the foot, but maybe she should have it on her lower leg, less painful there for first timers.

Why doesn't she buy some numbing cream and apply it herself before her appointment? I would suspect it takes a while to work anyway.

Check out the tattoo megathread for recommendations.

Mr personality at woodseats uses it if you ask him before hand, and i believe van sheiks at hillsbrough also.

I've had several tattoos and i've took paracetomol before hand it doesn't take the pain off complely but helps a bit.

if it's your wifes first tatt tell her to have a fizzy drink and a mars bar to keep her sugar up it's quite a shock on the first 1 especially on the foot.
