after doing alot of research into various local and not so local tattoo artists, i finally made my mind up and decided that fabio's in cambridge would be the best place for me to go to for my first full sleeve tattoo. i wasnt disappointed, i was initally greeted by a very friendly person by the name of Alec on the front desk, i discussed my initial ideas him, he recommended Vic to me as the artist and showed my the guys previous art and tattoo's, i was impressed, so i booked my first appointment for 4 weeks later. I was looking forward to the first of many sessions. The first Session was basically Vic going over the ideas and how he was going to fit it, after all of that all the outlines were tattooed onto my arm. I booked my appointments for pretty much every week, so we could really get it done whilst it was all fresh. my second appointment was cancelled initially due to vic being unwell, which is fair enough as he takes alot of pride and concentration in his work. and i'd rather he'd be in the right health before continuing on what became a superb piece of art. As for the rest of the tattoo artists and the owner being unfriendly as others have said in reviews, i'd say that was rubbish, they are all very welcoming and friendly. my sister had a small piece done by johnny, and my aussie friend had 2 pieces done by alex. all look stunning. I will be back at the end of august for my next sleeve, and no doubt back again next year for my back.
i'd recommend to anyone who is looking for the best in the cambridge area, but you've got to realise high quality costs the money and if you want something custom be prepared to have to wait, Patience is a virtue. afterall it's going to be on your body for the rest of your life. so you may as well do it properly the first time. read more
