G’day Les and Crew
 
The croc tattoo has healed beautifully.  Mate I can’t tell ya how much I love this thing…..well actually I can.  It’s awesome.  From conception to design to finished product you have absolutely nailed it!  It may sound clichéd, but it is almost as if you were in my head seeing what I was thinking.  It is a big call to produce something that has been on my mind for so long with a subject that I am intimate with.  So many croc drawings, and especially tattoos, fail miserably….this thing rocks harder than Max Cavallera.  
 
So thanks again for a brilliant job, and despite the pain and discomfort I enjoyed the 2 days immensely.  I hope we get the opportunity in the not too distant future to get back for more work, we are always thinking of new ideas.
 
Take care and all the best

When it comes to getting a tattoo there are 2 types of people: those who just want to get it done, and those who are after a piece of art. I am in the latter crowd, and when it came to getting my sleeve done I investigated a number of tattooist who had a great reputation, but with 2 years of looking I never found one I was happy with. I came across Les Rice by chance, and right from the start I knew I was dealing with a professional. We met and discussed what I was after and Les provided great direction and feedback. In no time my idea had become a true individualised design and I am continually receiving comments about it.
I cannot speak highly enough of Les’ ability to design and apply a tattoo. He is an artist who plies his trade in tattooing, and this is only something you can truly appreciate by seeing him at work. If you are after a piece of art to add to your body, rather than just a drawing, then you can’t go past Les. I believe he is the best tattooist in Australia!

thanks for a great tattoo. It was the most professional and accurate work I have ever seen and I am forever grateful. Your new shop is the bomb and Angus and Charlie are awesome. See you soon….

Through sheer luck I stumbled across the Name ‘Les Bowen’. Though I am a true beleiver that everthing happens for a reason and the people you meet come to you for a reason. Having researched many portrait tattooists throughout Melbourne and for that matter Australia, I contacted Les. From the initial concept to the final shade, I could not have been happier. A professional.
 
Prior to getting my full sleeve people would tell me, that’s it your going to get sick of people asking you what it means. I knew from the outset that should Les be able to pull off a true piece of art, people wouldn’t ask what it is and the meaning of the tattoo though they would just appreciate the art work in its true form.
 
Once again thank you champ for an amazing experience – will see you soon no doubt for more work.
 
 
Yours in Health
 
All the best
