I've had tattoos done at Robin Tattoo, Ibud Tattoo and Buddha Face - and dad had one done at Buddy Marley.
All were good work - except for the Buddy Marley one which was lettering that has gone fuzzy after just two years, and was not that evenly done in the first place.
My preference by far has been Buddha Face. Pristine clean studio - cleaner than home. Great work, great prices with no need to haggle much at all. I've had two done there now and would go back without a second thought.
Robin tattoo did good work, but the place isn't particularly clean overall, and they took days and days to get my design finished on paper - never done when I was told to come back, and Made was about an hour late turning up for my appointment, and had to be phoned before he actually remembered to show up. Plus they were forever trying to get me to buy them alcohol whenever I was there. Bit of a turn off really.
Ibud did good work, but only have a tiny tattoo room and there was another guy in there getting a huge piece done, so I was sat almost in the doorway to get mine done. They were also ridiculous with their initial price - 4 times what I ended up paying for it, which was a fair price and not cheap.
