Hardcore Ink

COVER-UP, WHAT COVER -UP!!!!!I went to see john on recommendation and on the strength of the images published on the Hardcore Inkwebsite.I have (like many) previously made some BAD tattoo decisions, However John does not judgeyou or make you feel foolish or indeed punish you financially . He was happy to spend as much time as it took to get the right result and what a stunning result it is. You really would not know its a cover-up, its ,just a great tattoo.

John is an amazing tattooist, and luckily he is local to me. He will go out of his way to work out a suitable design for you. If he thinks that your idea won't work, or wouldn't last long, or is just a stupid idea, he will tell you even if it means he won't get your custom at that time. He cares about what he does and he wants you to be totally happy with your art work. He is also great at covering up bad tattoos but luckily I havent had to do this. Even though I have moved from Dorchester I will make the effort to keep using John as my tattooist as I have total faith in him and his talent.

How does anyone know how to chose that person who they can trust to tattoo your body with something that will last the rest of your life?! It’s such a difficult decision, but I can say hand on my heart that after 20Years of having tattoos I have finally found my forever tattoo artist!! John is a down to earth guy with the most awesome talent in tattooing!!! I am so fussy and would travel and pay over the odds for quality art, but have found this man close to home (fortunately for me!!!) couldn’t recommend John more if I tried!! I have the most beautiful large tattoos on parts of my body which anyone can see! Getting compliments every day on how much people love them!! Thankyou John!! See you soon!! X

Best place I've been to personally to get my tattoos love the shop looking forward to my next visit

Great tattooist, thanks John for our great tattoo's we both love them, and very good pricing too, my own design which John advised what not to do which was helpful. Highly recommended, but does get busy but you can book appointmentson Wednesday's if you don't want to wait around. Jo n Lisa from Portland

I'm addicted, every time I go I have to book in for the next. Love the feeling a new tattoo brings, love the artist puts his heart into giving you the best he can especially if you need a cover

John is a fantastic tattoo artist. He will go out of his way to ensure you have the design that you want. The quality of his work is exceptional. He doesn't use cheap inks either, so some of his previous work I have had done still looks really fresh 5 years later. Definitely recommend to all. I wouldn't go anywhere else

I have been going to John for years and he is the only person I trust locally, his work is precise and looks amazing even after years....CheersKev
