I think I have seen Prem in there, on the odd occasion that I have come in. Shaved head? Late 20's/early 30's? Perhaps a tattoo?

Steve

Prem does fit this description but he does not have a tattoo. That is Kevin, Prem is the Polish one.

Thanks for the heads up there, Russ.

'Tis always possible that I imagined the tat.

Possibly because I am thinking of having a new one done.

Talking of which (for anyone in that area), have you noticed the new tat shop that opened in Darly Road, there was an aquatics shops there before, but they didn't last more than a few months. They were called PH7?

LOL nah you are not imagining things, Kevin has a tattoo down his arm.

I have not been in lately so not seen the new tat shop but will defo be going to have a look to see how much they want for my next one. PH7 lasted about 2 months before it shut, and before that was a hairdresser that did not last much longer so if you are thinking about going in for a new tat I would do it quickly as the history would sugest that it wont be there very long!!! Seems to be that people open a shop there that has direct competition within a matter of minutes form them.

I thought that before PH7 was a aquatics shop, it was a shop selling birds?

I remember going into PH7 when it opened.

I wanted to give them some pointers on how they could make the shop grow, but they assured me that it was in a strong position.

Guess what - it closed!

So, now it is a new tat shop, with another, just mins along the road.

My new tat is just ten words, which I am going to have done on the underside of my arm.

How much do you think that would be?

The bird shop was before the hairdresser. Shows how long the hairdresser was there eh?

I suppose it depends on the place. I wanted my name in arabic on my arm and the cheapest i got quoted was £30 from Ace along near Greggs. I would not even like to hazard a guess. Depends on the size and placement as well I think.

Ace (in Gorgie), allegedly water down their colours, mate.

Just passing on what I was told.

Yeah the one in Gorgie. I have not heard anything about it. I got my one done at Tiki Monkey just up from the new place. Seemed not bad.

I went in there one day, and happened to chime into a conversation the staff were having about one of the staff members contemplating suicide. It didn't inspire me to have one done, by them!

I settled for a pie in Greggs.

I also thought about having one done in white ink, but apparently they look rotten.

That does not exactly fill you with confidence eh? Think the pie was a better idea. I think it is tough to find someone decent who instantly comes across as decent tbh. My OH just got one done at Dragon Heart in Portoberllo and it was decent. Bit out the way for you tho. Not sure about the white ink never seen one so not sure how they look.

You're just lazy Russel. Red Hot and Blue are a 20 minute walk away. They're at the town end of the Meadows/Tollcross. There's the wee one on the Grassmarket.

Ph7 has now become a tattoo studio. From the window art - I can't say I was very impressed.
