Yes, it is Ian. The shop moved to Oxford Road and it is called No Limits of Reading now, but if you look on the yellow pages website under Ian of Reading, you will get the phone number for the new shop 😀

Hiya,

Grats on getting your new tattoo 🙂

In answer to your question, all I can do is to share my own experiences. I got my 6th tat done a week ago and it is on the peeling stage. So what you are going through is normal. About aftercare, each person is different and you will hear many different methods, however, I would like to refer you to the…[Read more]

Hi Guys,

Tat is finally peeling off and I was shocked at what I saw… the black n’ shading is so off, black does not look black at all, it looks more like a lighter, sort of “cloudy” looking shade and in areas it looks a bit dotted. My other concern was that the skin under the thin scab is really shiny and looks cracked.

Hiya,

I am no expert, but I always go to the same artist who is amazing.

Hope this helps 🙂

Cheers, Matthew!! I shall be staying away from that studio then. I guess the person recommended them because they are local to me, but after what u said and after reading those reviews, I don’t think i will be going there at all.

thank you for taking the time, Matthew 🙂

I shall give Ian a try… it is good you also suggested where not to go, as someone recommended that place to me yesterday. Any idea what’s wrong with No Pain No gain?

Cheers,

Thank you guys 🙂

Sherav, thank you for doing a research for me. I have uploaded some pics of my new tattoo in the user gallery if you want to have a look. It is black n’ shade, no colour. In the meantime, I shall visit Ian of Reading to check our his work and see if I can have a quick chat about this tat and how to improve the lines which are…[Read more]

I have to agree, after watching Miami and LA ink, I was not too impressed with London ink. I watched 2 episodes and it was enough for me.

I used to live in Miami for many years before moving to the UK and got a couple of tats @ Tattoos by Lou, I would certainly recommend them! 🙂

For exact kanji translation and different styles of callygraphy, I always go to the same artist. She does an awesome job!

I cannot recommend Eri enough 🙂
