Tattooist in uk

[panntastic]

Can anybody share any decent tattooists info in the uk preferably west mids area but can travel.
I'm after portrait work so they need to be spot on.
I've got tons of ink and this new work is going to be somewhere it can be seen by everyone so it need to be the best

There's a guy on the Hagley Road, Quinton (I think) who is highly recommended, I've seen his work but don't have any.

Do tattoo artists make decent money if they get a reputation? What if they are just run of the mill artists is it like a 10 dollar an hour job for them in that instance? Just curious

Dude it depends if its your studio or you rent the chair...
EG where I had my right sleeve done the guy who owns the studio won all sorts of accolades and prizes (& I worked with him as an acid tanker driver ) he opened it ete he doesn't work there any more sore the other artist rent chairs off him and they basically give him 75% of there earnings everyday

If your really good with a massive rep as in Kat vondee ,Chris garver the guys in London ink Louis especially Ashe does a lot of celebrity ink you can charge what you want

I don't think there is a 10$ job as an artist lol

Not ink free no. I have 3/4 sleeve to finish (Japanese) but my artist emigrated. The guy I want to finish it is in London and I've just been too lazy to go see him, I'll only need another 4 hours.

Have a 20 year old tribal design on the other arm which is ok but may get removed at some point.

Love ink, wish I had the bottle to do more!

I'm nearly full up from neck down to feet but so far none outside of collar length.
But want my hands doing now so would like and amazing artist to do them

Andy Morris from NativeInk Sedgley. He's amazing but got quite a waiting list.

I don't know what the 'take-home' is for tattooist, but my guy charges £40/hr or £35/hr if you book 8 hours!
So I imagine that the salary is semi decent, providing you're a good tattooist!
