London tattoo artist recommendation

14 replies

Hi - I am looking for a particular type of tattoo. It will be a few letters, drawn thick rather than a line drawing; coloured not black. I know roughly what I want it to look like and it's quite simple, but needs some design. It may be my only tattoo ever so I am willing to pay for a good artist and to have a good experience! Image searches online so far don't show anything at all similar to what I have in mind. Can travel anywhere in London. Any recommendations?

I can't see any artist specialising in that kind of work or having something similar in their portfolio. It's very generic.

I'd just go to whoever is recommended in your local area. Although you could try doing a search on tattoodo.com.

Hi yes it's very simple, but I don't know how to get a good recommendation?

Just... Ask people locally. Anyone you know with a good-looking tattoo. The local Facebook group. Read the Google reviews.

I would search on Reddit for recommendations then check the artists IG to see their work. Good luck!

The feel of the studio is important to me, somewhere friendly and not intimidating- willing to pay more for a more luxury / comfortable experience…

George Bone - 58 Boston Road, Hanwell.

Google him, you'll see his pedigree.

Try Daniel Brod, he is great, very meticulous and patient. He does free of charge consultations first for large pieces so you know exactly what you get. He is based in North London, Kentish Town. ig: danielbrodtattoo.
