Skin Creation is very good although John is a moody get :lol: If you are after Japanese style or portraits he is your man.Ask for John Treharne.I have had 3 done and all by him.

I wouldn't touch Doc Graham now personally as i have seen some of his work :o

Send Ely Trendy a pm on here as he has been to a few in Cardiff .

A good artist will charge between 65-80 pounds an hour.If they are really cheap stay away and beware :ayatollah:

I got my full sleeve done in a small place opposite the castle in Cardiff. He's only young but the best tattoos I have had it's called silverhand. He's much better then skin creation and doc Graham in my opinion

I know its not in the City but CHAMELEON in Broad Street Barry is very good, if a bit pricey.

Apparently famous for Jonah Lomu coming over from NZ to get work done.

I've just booked in 4 Dai Fleet, may was the earliest app. That Sassykats that some1 mentioned looks good but there seems to be a bit of a waiting list there.

Everyone thinks there's a massive waiting list at Dai Fleet's but the wait is only really if you want him to do it. Yes his other artists also have a bit of a waiting list but they are not as long. My view is he'd only employ them if they were up to the mark, after all it's his rep that would suffer if they weren't.
If your tat is a quick small one then you might even slip in there and get it done there and then between their appointments.
