Where to now?

I want to get some more piercings. The last ones I had done at Tusk in
covent garden, which I know is shut now.
Any suggestions where to go now?
I want a couple more lorum, working a small ladder.
cheers J

This is an internationally visited newsgroup. You'll have to give us a
geographic location for help.

Sorry.
I am in UK, London area.
Able to travel, if needed.

Thanks

And U.S. based. We are visited because we have the knowledge of
piercings and after-care.

Surely there are pubs, cafes, libraries, universities, etc. in London.
Walk around and look out for pierced folk.

I know there cabs. Or there were twenty years ago. A few years more
than that, actually. Took the train to London and then asked a taxi
driver to give me the tourist drive around town.

I'll bet he could have taken me directly to a local piercing shop if
I'd asked.

Best wishes. Please post a follow-up.

And, Kavin, don't be a... Kavin. :p

What's YOUR point? Since you seem a little dense, or "daft," I guess
I should spell it out. We are the people to visit for piercing and
aftercare knowledge. But if you want to know of a specific shop in
Great Britain, perhaps a "British" group would suit you better. I'm
thinking that since I live in Atlanta, GA, the odds of me hopping on a
plane to London to get a new piercing are slim to none. And listen to
Curt only if you wish your piercing to rot and fall off. He's
"retired" more piercings than you wish to know about.

OK guys, enough.
My question was serious, I didn't realize it was a US based group.
Fair enough.
A lot of the reputable places have shut here, or have moved to
mainstream shops, where I couldn't get the type of piercing I want.
Other places heve very mixed reviews and feedback.
I need a good experienced licensed, local authority registered piercer
who knows what they are doing.
It is a while since I had my last piercing, so yes I may have lost
touch with whats happening.

That's the general intent.

Moooooom, stop bossing us.

Do you know where the UK group wandered off to? Because there had been
a UK-based equivalent to this goup.

And, come now, they don't have phone books or directories in London?
You don't know any pierced people in your neck of the woods?

There are some non-U.S. folk who poke their nose in here occasionally,
so perhaps you'll get a helpful reply yet. Stay tuned!

Your reply was crap. And it disregarded RAB's full complement. What,
there's no one here from outside the U.S.?

Derrrr.

My "crap" is better than anything you have, or will ever, post.

Having read down the thread I will agree that
you perhaps should have stated Covent Garden
is in London but can't really agree with the
rest of the potty-mouthed crap about how r.a.b
is somehow the rebel yell of USENET.

It always has been an international group and
I am not aware of any equivalent in the uk hierarchy.

My suggestion would be that you treat yourself
to a day out in Reading, Royal Berkshire.

There is a regular coach service from Kings Cross
and last time I was there there were 5 tattoo
studios and several more dedicated piercers
all within, or within easy walking distance of, its
pedestrianised centre. (yes, that is spelt right).

If you stay on the M4 until junction 12 you should
find yourself going into the centre by way of the
Oxford Road, on which at least one of the tattooists
is based.

Despite not having any work done in Reading
myself, the studios I saw all looked clean enough
and the bodyart people wear in the place also
looks of a high standard.

To what extent this is because of the presence
of world-renowned artists such as Ian of Reading
whose work has featured across the range of
the American-based "Tattoo Magazine" stable
of titles published by the EasyRiders group as
well as in the UK and European tattoo press, but
in what is quite a competitive market sector my
feeling is that he will provide a benchmark to
which other artists locally will aspire or, to put it
bluntly, go out of business.

Whereas I should not recommend approaching
random people with extensive bodyart work
hanging out on street corners in London I can
say that getting recommendations when you
are actually in Reading itself should be easy
enough as it has quite an informal and friendly
atmosphere (despite an increase in reported
crime) and it is a pleasant day out with friendly
pubs and affordable coffee shops and so forth,
including some really rather old ones built, for
some reason, next to its ancient places of worship.

It's mainly because it's about an hour away from
London - and, let's face it, you'd spend more
than an hour in London checking out all the
possible places to get work done - and is small
enough to be easy to find everywhere, yet has
an international reputation for top quality work.
