Lol I suppose the P does look a bit odd if you look at it like it's a B. As mentioned in the posts before though, that's what I was after with the tails of the letters being extended and shit so I think it looks shit hot
It took a little under 2.5hrs to do and cost £200, as opposed to the 240 I was quoted. I'l can't wait to see it all healed up and the shop do free touch ups in case any of the ink comes out in the scab so that's something I'm not having to worry about which is a bonus

I know it's a bit much but tbh I'm not surrounded by people with real life experience whose tattoos I can see and judge for myself. My sister had a written tattoo done there 3yrs ago and it still looks great so I went there - I thought that if I could be sure that I was going to get what I wanted I wasn't going to let the price put me off too much. I maybe could have shopped around and got better prices but the whole thing about knowing the shop and knowing their work was the main factor.
Also thought what's £200 if I'm going to have it for the rest of my life?

Price should be so far down on your list of requirements when getting a tattoo. It is etched on your fucking skin forever 100 quid here or there should not even be blinked at

No m8.
If I like lyrics or pictures I buy a frame and put it on my wall. It means when I don't like the lyrics or pictures, which is the nature of life, I will take it down and put it in the bin.

Tattoos always scare me. Some random geezer drawing on you in permanent. What if he's having a shit day, runs out of talent or makes a mistake??? You're fucked.

And so will be his or her reputation and job / business. The good tattooists always get recommended in magazines, word of mouth and the internet.
Unless you go somewhere that has a bad rep then thats your own fault.

Agreed, but I know what you're saying Ben. The best driver can still lose control of a car, in the same vein I'd assume a good tatooist could maybe make a mistake every now and again. It is a lot about trust but as scooter says 99.9% of the time you get a tattoo from a reputable artist it'll be spot on. I can't really remember hearing of a tattoo disaster at all from any sort of known good artist tbh
