Both me and my cousin are getting done, shes kinda scared of needles but she wants a tattoo really badly. Can anyone recommend some sort of distraction technique? Do you think listening to music would help?

The best 'distraction' I got was chatting to folk - the sessions I went to on my own were infinately more uncomfortable than those I went to with someone else. Even though Mark (my artist) was quite happy to talk to me I felt bad about distracting him so tended not to talk to him too much. | |

Hi there!
New here (I know Vi and probably a few others) and I thought I'd better add this www.inkrediblekreations.com or my other half will go in a huff!
I know I'm biased but he's a good tattooist and sometimes it pays to travel (all the way to Perth)!
Thanks  | |

You'd be surpried how many people are so concerned with the cost of getting a tattoo that they won't pay to travel.
But in the end - you get what you pay for.
We get people in everyday trying to barter, telling us that the bloke down the road will do it for £10 less! We tell them it's up to them then we have to charge em for the cover up or re-work a few months later. | |

Very very true. I can't understand people that don't research the artist/shop a bit before getting work done.

Just don't make a booking with Jamie for a Sat/Sun morning
