Richard

Richard has been a professional tattoo artist since 1984, always maintaining very high standards in all aspects of his life.

Striving to improve his work technically and artistically he has travelled worldwide to exchange knowledge with some of the most highly regarded artists in the tattoo field as his awards demonstrate.

He is equally happy pleasing the customer who chooses a small personal design to the discerning customer who wants original large scale Japanese body work.

Richard splits his time between tattooing and goodluckiron where he designs and manufactures tattoo hardware for other professional tattoo artists worldwide.

Jimmy

“Ever since I saw my first tattoo I wanted one. Ever since I got my first tattoo I wanted to be a tattoo artist.”

At Aberdeen’s prestigious Gray’s School of Art, Jim’s fascination with tattooing increased with most projects involving this subject in one way or another. With Jim’s strong drawing skills he can turn his hand to most styles and is happy to create a design that is perfect for you.

“When I started working at Richards my drawing and tattooing went from strength to strength. It has always been rewarding as it is a studio of very high standards, not just artistically but also in all aspects of hygiene and safety.”

Custom Tattoos

Tattoo Design & Styles

We cater for a wide range of tattoo styles from black, portraits, Japanese, traditional & old school, neo-traditional, watercolour, black & grey, realism, geometric. It’s best if you have some clear direction and ideas for the tattoo you want. Ideally collect some picture reference from books, the web etc.

It’s important to know where the tattoo will go (placement) and the overall size.

How Long Will it Take?

It very much depends on the size and design of the tattoo.

The larger and more complex a tattoo design is the longer it will take to complete. Very large scale tattoos such as full back, arm (sleeve) or leg will require more than one sitting to complete.

Sessions can be from half an hour to several hours.

How Much Does it Cost?

The cost of a tattoo is based on the time it takes to complete or per session for larger work.

There is no fixed cost or price list, instead we provide a cost based on the agreed design. What determines the price of a tattoo is the size, colour and complexity of the overall design.
