Which Tattoo shop - Brighton or Hove

[Seagull58]

Excellent. Do you have a shop, or just work from your bedroom?

I don't want someone doing their own design, I want someone to do what they're told.

He does exactly what he's told to do. That's why you get a discount if you let him design one.

I can second Dan, he did my Albion tattoo. Talented and a nice fella to boot.

I don't have any tattoos.
I don't want any tattoos.
I don't like tattoos especially on women.
But last time I was in Brighton I saw Punktured, cool name, it's not been mentioned unless I missed it, is it no good?

 

[StonehamPark]

What are you getting done anyway, Trig?

Something sentimental.

Top side of wrist, or underside?

An Alan Partridge tatt would be First Class. Thought I would go for the classic but there are some great options out there..

Its a well known tattoo parlour who's made their name in london and set up a satellite shop down here; my impression was they're a little to cool for school.

Nice. I'd go for the underside.
More discreet and personal.

Thanks. I think the wife feels the same. It's not her wrist though and I bet it feels crap having it done there. If I wanted it discreet I'd be better having it somewhere people never see it, but then I'm not wanting a tattoo so that I can then hide it.

Surprisingly the needle on the underside wasn't anywhere near as painful as I thought it'd be.
The bone at the edges of the wrist was a killer!

I've got tattoos on both arms, right arm is underside of the wrist and left arm has both under/top sides done.
No real preference from me, each to their own.

Get it done wherever you'd most want it done.
If you want it to be visible, get it on the top.
If discreet, underside.

Not too much difference in pain levels.
Under is more tender for sure, but not among the worst areas I've had them done by a long shot.

Unrelated, kind of.
Just saw this on Facebook which tickled me.

Anyone mentioned the Tattoo convention next weekend?

Also,

A friend's Dad owns and runs Tattooing at Gunpoint on Kingsway next the the King Alfred.

I could never get any work done there as they were always booked out when I wanted one done.
I'll actually inquire here before Sideshow Tattoos to be honest.

Worth having a look?

Never been there myself but I know a few people who have had quite a bit of work done there, always been pretty impressed with their tattoos.

I'm looking at getting my 2 kids birth dates tattooed in Roman Numerals. I want them to look roman but be bold and clear. The only question is both on the top of one arm? Or one on each? Also I would like to have to option to add to it, which is why I think maybe both on one arm so I am not stuck with one particular style on both arms? Also not sure where to go for this. I am quite close to angelichelltatoo but would be open to recommendations. As you can probably tell, this would be my first Tattoo.

 

[Captain Sensible]

Also anyone got any experience of https://www.needforink.co.uk in peacehaven? I was quite impressed by their work in the photos.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

My only advice on getting a tattoo is make sure you really want it and think about where you want it on your body.

Or do what I do, and think less about the tattoo itself and more about the artist. My last one, I didn't even know exactly what I was getting until I turned up on the day. Just had supreme faith in my tattoo artist. If you don't attach any overly deep meanings to tattoos, they're pieces of art you own, just hung on your body rather than your walls. (God that sounds wanky).

If you only have 2 kids, 1 on each arm sounds good, but it would be weird if you then have a 3rd kid. I take it you're too young to wait until you know how many kids you'll end up with?

I wasn't impressed with Gunpoint. Call me dull, but I'd rather my tattooist didn't answer the phone and chat while he was still tattooing me.
