Default Tattoo artist help required

Can anyone recommend a good tattoo artist, Im after a Haida style tattoo if that has any bearing on things.

So far, Ive been recommened a guy called Rob Doubtfire in Bradford but Id prefer to get one done a little nearer to home if possible as Id imagine there might be a couple of visits required.

Cheers

Jeff.

Yes, but personal meaning doesn't have to be written or printed on you IMO.
Your physical presence should be able to make a statement as it is
I am not a great fan of tattoos.Sometimes I feel like getting one but no! I can paint a washable one for decorative purpose if I want to.

I don't like them to be on me permanently.On certain occasions,I would not want them on me at all.Sometimes,I may fancy a snake on my arm (if not in my sleeve )
Temporary ones are ok for the likes of me.

Thanks for the positive comments
As for the other replies....

And just to point out its going to be my first tattoo and I dont intend on getting "mum" & "dad" or "love" and "hate" tattoo'd(sp) on my hands or anything like that nor am I intending on getting covered head to toe either!

Yeah i know what you mean, when i was 15 i did a star and a love heart on my hand, thought I was well ard Now at 38 i work in an office and have to keep them covered up. People get the wrong idea about you, first impressions and all that.

I am having them lasered off at the moment and they will gone in a few months.

I have full sleaves on both arms but i can keep them covered and no one is any the wiser. It's quite addictive when you start.

Unfortunately, I wear pants (not Y-fronts) and I wear socks with my Converse All-Stars.

There's contraception for you.

Why bother posting on a thread that you consider 'chav' then

FWIW I have the site of a well recommended guy in Ware but I think Herts is a little too far for you seeing as your location is Lancaster.
