Tattoo problems?

[notasothers]

If getting fine needle work Dave McEwen is great but hes always booked solid.
I now use Gill @ Tattoo City in Cuba Mall, he has a great attention to detail. I've had 6 hours with Gill so far and its the best tats ive had to date... 25 hours and counting. Getting him to complete my sleeve over the next 12 months.

My one tip for people... NEVER EVER judge someones work by the photos in the studio. Always check out people healed skin. If you see a good tat ask where they got it. I have people asking me about my tats all the time... Im more than happy to point them in the direction of someone good and away from a butcher!

you are so right about Dave and his work, he has just latley finished my upper arm, 4.5hours of work, and just bloody fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!
and
yeap he is booked to the max, and that was the reason i ventured somewhere else (which will never happen again). But i'll get Dave to fix these.................. Rodger in Cuba St is only taking limited clients these days which is understandable, but i do know his work.

Far out, really?? I've always just wandered in there and had a yarn about this and that... Got a mate teed up for some work to be done before Xmas - my design. It blows me away to have someone want what I've designed inked on them!

Roger is a good 'un - one of the dwindling number it seems...

well well well,

the tattoo show was held in lower hutt last weekend, and guess who showed his face at the event, yeap the chap from the tattoo studio in alicetown, he didnt stay long, as i was working there during the weekend, and bugger me if he didnt take to kindly to being tapped on the shoulder and asked "so, have you come here to LEARN how to tattoo?". After this he departed the event - not to be seen again.

Today i popped in to see Dave at Tattoo Freaky to have the stuff up fixed - gee he's a great bloke. Oh and for the record, the latest tattoo that dave did on my arm - well it got 2nd place - Best Female Small Arm and 2nd place - Best Female NZ Related during the weekend.

Tattoo Freaky ROCKS!
