There are loads of tattooists in Manchester, only a few though stick exclusively to the traditional style. I visited them and asked about techniques used in drawing flash and painting, how they get influence for a design, where they look for it, what makes a tattoo traditional and for anymore information on the history of tattooing. I learnt the basics of tattoo design, using watercolours and a lecture on the biggest change in tattoo since its origin; hygiene.
Manchester Ink is located in the Northern Quarter and accomodates all different styles of tattoo.
Blue Blood Tattoo is in Wythenshawe and specializes in traditional tattoo.
