Hi Leila,

You'll find this group is pretty much dead these days, although there
may be a few of the old guard lurking.

What are you looking for in the Reading area? Tattooist? Piercer?
Something else?

Doh! I didnt specify did I! A good tattooist, I am pierced enough (for
now) but want to have a specific design tattooed.

Thanks for being alive on here, I used to come on a lot several years ago
and found people here much more friendly than some of the other sites (waves
sardonically to some of our american chums (not you Curt, you have always
been lovely )).

I am happy to travel to Oxford, Bristol or London though live near Reading.

Cheers

Leila

Well, 'good' is a relative term, and mostly driven, in my opinion, by
style. For instance, for really good black work, you might not want to
see someone who is really great at abstract colour.

UPB has been through the full circle from nothing, to something special,
to hell in a handcart and back again.

I can't even begin to profess to be up on who's hot (or not) in the UK,
I haven't lived there for 5 years let alone shown any interest in
keeping up to date.

Woody in High Wycombe has, apparently, developed an award winning talent
for his custom colour work. Shame, I got my black work from him when he
was a relative newbie to the scene.

Ian of Reading, always had a really good reputation - as a general all
rounder if I recall correctly.

I don't recall anyone special in the Oxford area, but, you're close to
London which opens up the options for some seriously good talent, again,
depending on what you're looking for. 'Into You' being a studio of good
repute.

Hope that helps, and a happy new year to you and all.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate the advice and will explore the
different options. Well done for sticking with the group and heres hoping
it has an upturn again.
