Tattooists in London

[Poxican]

I'm planning a new tat for my birthday in August. Can anyone make any personal recommendations for tattooists in London?

I've been tattooed at Eclipse in Camden, which I would not recommend. Uppity arseholes in there. I've had other tattooist tell me they've got a really bad reputation as well, so avoid. Getting tattooed in Camden was a silly idea in hindsight, but I'd only been in London a few days and didn't really know where else to go.

I've had quite a bit of work done by JJ and Wez at Blood Brothers on Holloway Road and they're bloody brilliant there. The studio is super nice, they make you tea and get you food and the vibe is ace.

I'm happy to go back but I just wondered if anyone else had a favourite in London? I'm getting writing done so if there's someone whose specialty that is, cool.

Happy Sailor on Hackney road. Had 4 done there, brillant every time.
