    ,Evil from the Needle ,Camden . Jolie Rouge ,Holloway . into You ,Old st . Family Business ,Exmouth Market . Old London rd ,Kingston . these are all international award winning shops ,not like some scratcher from your local High St .
    Nine in Brighton is a very good freindly shop too.
    Buy Total Tattoo ,Skindeep ,or Skinshots magazines and get an idea of the amazing artists out there, dont go to whatever is cheapest or nearest . ( i go all over the country for an artist if i like their work ).
    Good luck and do research on people before you let them ink you .

      Cheers Vespa - I know Lal Hardy through other friends but he's never done a QPR one before!

        There you go , look no further ...Lal Hardy is a legend , watch out he dosnt give you Spurs one ! I wouldnt worry if the artist has done a Rangers one or not , just go for good quality. I had a QPR supporting biker ink me in my teens ,and it was the lettering from the old badge too funni
        ly enough ,and that has long since been covered over ,with some much better quality work .

                Totally agree,
                I had my badge done by my local shop n to be fair it`s OK could be better but could be a lot worse.
                But now I travel to get any work done.
                There are some great artists out there you just need to hunt them out or word of mouth works (check em out online, facebook etc beforehand).
                Good luck with the TAT...

                  Mo Copolette at family is a real traditionalist and can refuse to do certain things...
                  Evil is ok but not as good as it used to be
                  Check frith street although their waiting lists are stupid.. Alternatively wait until 26th-28th and go to London tatto convention and pray for space for a walk in...

                      F**k me. Doherty's tats are hardly a recommendation. Used to do better ones at school with a compass, a bunsen burner and blue ink!

                      Thanks chaps!

                          To be honest i wasnt thinking of Mo ,for a QPR tattoo , thats not his thing at all , but any of the artists there could pull off a Rangers tatt to a higher quality then your average high st flash shop,
                          As for Evil being only OK ,i take it Jeff Ortega still tattoos and runs the shop , he is a quality artist ,has done a sleeve ( and half my other arm ) for me and is certainly better then OK.
                          From Frith St ,i only really know Valerie Vargas `s work and i cant see her being into doing a QPR tattoo.

                            I have no ink on my body at all after all these years, after my Wembley adventure I am considering getting something QPR done!
