Suprised he didnt do just that, tbh.
He has the money to get a serious piece done that he can just add to when he wanted.
And from a male perspective, not a bad canvas either.

Not sure if its the light, or if Beckham's had his backpiece in grayscale rather than black, but it looks fairly faded in that picture?

The angel is a very grey shaded piece mate. Not a lot of solid black in it at all. The quality of the shading is one of the things that makes Louis's work stand out amongst the crowds

So, how much do you reckon his hourly charge is...?
Im guessing somewhere between £250-400 an hour. Scary I know, but status and reputation and all that.

What do you reckon, and more to the point, anyone out there been inked by Loius already ?


i know colin molloy his brother very well as his son is one of my best friends, he has had a tattoo done by him but it was a freebie so i am unaware of the cost

the tattoo is perfect tho the line work is very very sharp

Not a fan of fine line needlework, Ive had 3 done now, 2 in Plymouth (Doc Price?) and a small cover up in Hants, funny enough, the guy who did the cover up, knew the other tat's were done by DP straight away,

Ive heard that Darren Stares? in Pompey is very good, certainly some of the artwork ive seen on a guy i used to work with was superb, almost made me want to have another one done
