Which studio is it that's closed? Saz in warrington is really good, and Shaun at 72 tattoo in Urmston. Both good at what they do, both have a huge waiting list. I think there is a last called hazel who works with saz and I've heard she's amazing too. Hope it helps

If you're willing to travel over to Leeds, Black Crown is good. Dave Bewick has done all mine but any of the other guys are good too.

Everyone will have their own opinions and their own favourite artist.. Depends what you want, different artists are better at diffrent technique s.. Be it line work shading, solid inking the list is endless... The only thing I will say if you want a portrait research well look for websites, a decent tattooist should have one! Portraits are hard... A botched for want of a better word ..flower, butterfly can be fixed... But a portrait hmmm, I am an apprentice tattooist... Love it.. But would never pick up my machine and tattoo someone with something I would never be proud to wear myself! Be wary it is done sorry I rant but this is something I'm passionate about... Research please and be wary .... X
