In progress, done on the 7th September by Jeff Customs @ Restless Soul Realistic Tattoo in Worthing, UK.

My girlfriend and I will be there on the Saturday... our first time at a tattoo convention!

How do people generally get appointments with artists for these things? Just e-mail around who you're interested in getting tattooed by, way ahead of time? It would be awesome to have some work done, but I'm sure it's probably way too late to sort something.

I hadn't seen my Mum for about 4 months and I turned up home with a tattoo of Pac-Man on my forearm. "Are you sure you're not going to regret that?" was all she said. She's never disapproved, but always told me to be sensible with the ones I get. I've no problem talking to her about appointments, ideas I have, etc.

I've never spoken openly with my Dad about tattoo's. I know he's seen the ones I have... noticed him looking when we're sat in the pub, or having a meal and i've forgotten to wear long sleeves. He's never said anything about them though and I don't know whether i'd feel comfortable talking about them with him.

Hi Neil, and welcome to the forum. Lucky man, Stewart's artwork is fantastic! :)

Nice ink Janessa, and welcome to the site. :)

Welcome James! Where are you going for your coverup? There's a lot of great tattooers working in your neck of the woods.

Thank you. :) There are indeed alot of great artists around here... and many that I hope to be tattooed by in the future. I'll actually be going outside of London for my cover-up though, it'll be done by Jeff Customs in Worthing - https://www.facebook.com/jeffcustomtattoo.

Hi everyone, I'm James and currently live in London, UK. I've just come across this site today, it looks great and I'm sure I'll gain lots of valuable and insightful knowledge while I'm here. I'm really just here to browse and take in as much amazing artwork and information as I can. While I'd love nothing more than to be covered in ink, I've currently only the two tattoo's, one of which will be covered-up in September. :)
