Default Tattooist......

I am looking getting a new tattoo done and was wondering if any of you fine people would be able to recomend a decent tattooist?

I have got a 4 already but as i got them done when i lived in Dagenham i was hoping to find one a little closer to home.... (Basildon)

Welcome to CosmicTattoo.com

Leigh Oldcorn. One of the best tattooists in the country, Won loads of national and international awards. Only bloke i've ever let tattoo me and he's a total car nut as well. Last thing i heard he had a very sorted R32 Skyline, after owning scoobys' Evo's and even the odd BMW

I have to agree with you on this one, Leigh has done many of my 17 tattoos and Julie who works along side him has done some for me to. I trust both of them completely.
Would not go anywhere else TBH now,
His work is in my opinion fantastic.
In the car world he has moved on to a very tasty Audi RS6, IIRC

No M8 he gets V booked so you'll need an appointment. Last time i was in he was charging £50 an hour. (that was about a year ago so he might well of put prices up since)
