Yes, it is Ian. The shop moved to Oxford Road and it is called No Limits of Reading now, but if you look on the yellow pages website under Ian of Reading, you will get the phone number for the new shop 😀

thank you for taking the time, Matthew 🙂

I have to agree, after watching Miami and LA ink, I was not too impressed with London ink. I watched 2 episodes and it was enough for me.

For exact kanji translation and different styles of callygraphy, I always go to the same artist. She does an awesome job!
I cannot recommend Eri enough 🙂
