onewheeldave   22 #4525 Posted January 8, 2013 I doubt you'd ever see a decent tattooist in Meadowhall. Good tattooists charge a lot, and are not interested in passing trade as they are by appointment only and have waiting lists for months. People travel across the country for a good tattooist, and don't care where the shop is so it makes the most sense to keep overheads down. Meadowhall's rents a far too high to make tattoo shop's profitable there.  I didn't specify the 'quality' of tattooist though, did I? There are plenty of tattooists not in the 'fine art' category who do make use of passing trade, and, who would happily set up in Meadowhall.  But you're right- the type of tattooist who are primarily appointment only, would probably not be interested in setting up in Meadowhall.

A tattooist would have to charge an enormous amount and be constantly full to make any profit. People won't pay double the normal rate to use a poor tattooist whilst shopping in Meadowhall.

CrystalGirl   10 #4529 Posted January 15, 2013 Has anyone had work done by Joe Frost at Thou Art? His portfolio looks great but when I've spoken to people out and about one of the ladies I spoke to was very disappointed by him (her tattoo wasn't finished). But I've also heard good things.  Joes work is amazing, he's only been tattooing a few years & has won awards competing against world famous artists - not many folks in Sheffield can say that! If the lady was so disappointed she should have said something to the artist, I certainly would about any of mine if I wasn't 100% happy!

Chains always have high profile shops that lose money for tax purposes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Fair enough, if you provide some proof or a link, then you may have a point: personally, though I don't know for sure, I really do doubt that the meadowhall pound shop makes a loss.
