I had my tattoo of the Disney Princess Castle by Tim. I called in the shop & spoke to him about what I wanted & left him with a few prints of the different angles I'd found of the castles. I booked into return the next day for my tattoo doing, he had everything drawn out better then I could have asked for. I told him of my budget. In total the inking session lasted just over 3 & a half hours, Tim kept asking if I was doing ok & took a few breaks so we could both have a rest. The finished product is even better then I could have ever wished for. I have previously had a tattoo by Tim here & also my brother recommends him Read Less

This is a review for Tim Brown who is a tattooist at Custom Tattoo.Tim has been tattooing since 1976.I knew exactly what I wanted and where.Tim said it wouldn't work as some of the lines were too close together.Within a few minutes we worked out a tattoo that would work and I booked myself in.When Tim had drawn up the tattoo he rang me up, I called in to have a look and approve it. As I was booked in for the next day. It was all systems go.The tattoo I wanted was to be placed over my ribs which is a very sensitive area.Tim recommended I use EMLA Cream to numb the area.He said it would only last until the outline was done but he advised and I am glad he did.Putting the cream on a couple of hours before and covering with cling-film was messy, but I am really glad I did.I got the cream from the chemist £3.11 a tube.Tim kept asking if I wanted a break but we pushed on only taking one break.It took 3 hours tattooing time.There are loads of free advice and any touch up work which may need to be done, is all included in the price.Tattoos may need touching up if the ink doesn't take properly or if you accidentally knock the tattoo before the ink has permeated properly.I was very impressed from start to finish.A very no nonsense 5 stars.
