Yes, most definitely 😀

I look at it, and can’t believe it’s mine 😀

It is a nice studio isn’t it 🙂 depending on which artists music is on on the day!

I think I must have been in on two days when Jim was picking 😉

I shall definitely be going back 🙂

I follow Jeff Gogue on Instagram and he posted a picture of a piece the other day which he was just finishing four years after he started it!! The perils of having a large peice by a very in demand artist I guess.

I have a half finished peice at the moment – going in on Tuesday to have it finished. Two of my tattoos have been multi-session; I…[Read more]

I thought it was Jesus covered in a bedsheet, helping a prisoner who has a dislocated shoulder… and possibly a broken ankle as well.

Jesus has a claw!

Wow, that is proper laugh out loud funny. I don’t know whether to pity the owner, or think that they probably got what they deserved.

There seem to be quite a few good artists in Eastern Europe; particularly of B&G work, or maybe it’s just my perception.

Thank you, I can’t wait to have it finished – part a part of me will be sad because I will have no more appointments to look forward to! 😮

I can highly recommend Instagram; so many great artists use it 🙂

I know a few tattoo haters in my circle of friends and family, who have been brought around to tattoos by my showing them good work. Not that they would run out and get one themselves, but they appreciate the art or the skill involved.

There are far far more bad tattoos around then good. Sometimes I wonder where all the people with good tattoos…[Read more]

I agree with you all but I also think its perception, like we are tattoo enthusiasts so we dont mind waiting, spending more and researching artists to get the best. But ask me about buying cars I will get the cheapest one that works and won’t give me many problems and get me to A to B…

I think that’s a good point…[Read more]

It isn’t finished yet so I have been waiting to post pictures until I go back on the 4th May. If you follow David on Instagram though, he posted a picture of it as it is now – if you want to have a look at an in progress pic.

I love it so much already :D. I had the best day, which exceeded my expectations in everyway!

I see so many poor tattoos on people, and I do find that quite sad, but sometimes, I don’t think they realise that it is poorly done.

I don’t think the majority of people appreciate the amazing work they can get if only they exercise patience and research their artists. So often you see people being put off by a waiting list. What’s a year or…[Read more]

To be honest I have been lucky in that I have booked in with artists I really wanted for the pieces I have had done. I do love the work of Carlos Torres, Mike Devries and Jeff Gogue.

Was supposed to say ‘forward’, but the predictive text on my phone took over!

I really like this concept; look coward to seeing how it progresses.

It is your tattoo, make sure you are happy with it. I think the second picture looks good, but that’s probably because I am a little OCD myself 😮

I don’t really see the benefit of the final suggestion though, but that’s really up to you. If you would be happier by changing it, do it 🙂

I had tried three or four artists when I was trying to get an artist to do my new piece. After a couple of months of disappointment, I stumbled across David Corden’s work and sent off an email, not expecting much of a reply.

I was actually at work when I got a reply. I think I actually jumped up from my desk and did a little dance 😮

Sofia Estrella was in New Orleans when I was there; used to work in Reykjavik, but I think she’s based in Florida.

Why should there be an age limit? You live once; if you want to so something, as long as it isn’t hurting others, do it!

Will do 🙂
