Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.
Nice to see the thread being derailed by interesting opinions. I had my sleeve done at Swansea Tattoo Co. Unfortunately, the chap who did it has since moved onto Swansea, but I highly recommend them. The shop is in the arcade in town.
Skin and Ink have fallen way behind the times , tattooing has moved on and left the tattooist way behind the times . I had a tattoo from Dai many moons back , the guy spent more time going for fag breaks than he did tattooing me. Stay well away. Chris Govier is an exceptionally portrait tattooist he is based on union street. If you are happy to go a bit further afield Will at Nebula in Bury Port Harbour is excellent and a really nice guy. Chris Jones in Cardiff is also excellent. My best advice is research the tattoo you want and seek out the best tattooist for that style , it’s ther for life and you don’t want to regret it. I don’t get those who slate those for getting tattoos , I’d rather spend a few hundred quid on a tattoo than chucking ale down my neck every weekend and slowly killing my liver. It takes years or hard work , graft and talent to become a top tattoo artist and many have waiting lists for months or years for a reason. Each to their own but there are some wonderful looking peices of work out there these days. Gone are the days of love and hate on your knuckles with Indian ink and you will find hundreds if not thousands of people in high ranking jobs with visable ink.
Good luck to those wanting to get inked. Personally I wouldn't unless I complete a major sporting feat such as an Ironman or similar. Then I may consider it. Possibly. I don't see the point in having pictures of pocket watches or stars on my arms. Each to their own though so good luck to those who are fans.
After all, who am I to judge you?
