    I would say Barbers are by far better than powerline. But if you are in Uk why don't you try TCGB ones? The quality is really good and they are not expensive. And they make next day delivery.

    Just search Tattoo club great britain on Google. I allways contact them over the phone and they do most of the groupings. I came across them in a convention. And I think that you get value for your money. I would not say that are as good as Mithra for example but I would recommend you to give them a try.

    I don't think very highly of Mithra at all. Worst needles I ever tried.

    Really? What do you normally use then? I had a really good experience, but if you say so, I believe you.

    The funny thing about Bond is, his entire reputation (@ least the positive end of it) only exists because he convinced everybody he was great just by running his mouth. He figured out that if he keeps talking about how great he is, & keeps telling people that they are getting the best from him, they will believe it. The intelligent people just walk away,the ignorant people hang around & give him money & hang on his every word. The ignorant people are just that, ignorant on that subject. There is nothing wrong w/ that. We are all ignorant on plenty of subjects.
