I met Doc only last week but will never forget those few minutes with him talking knives and leather work, the fact he can immerse into conversation in some many areas is testament to his travels and passion in life, a truly inspirational man...

[@whiteroomproduction6931]

Thanks for watching! Doc is a long time friend of ours and this work tells a lot of stories of this gentleman. We hope you might be inspired to watch some of the other icons in our series.

[@mikebunczuk1382]

He did my first Tattoo in 1972. Looks almost as good today as when he did it.

[@ICONINKInterviews]

he's still at it! I'm sure he will remember you! (more or less!)

[@whiteroomproduction6931]

We hope you might be inspired to watch some of the other icons in our series. We are still going and Doc is too! Saw him last week. None come close to Doc of course... But some come close in their own right!

[@corditekid1]

Both of my inks are Doc’s work, looking as good now as when they were done in ‘76 and ‘77. Doc sir, you are an absolute legend!

[@kiddtee9226]

They don’t look as good now, that’s just a lie 😂 but they held up is what you meant.

[@ryancanby1240]

Got my first tattoo with Doc, down Union Street, Plymouth. You won't meet a more sensible and interesting man.

[@garyeasterbrook5159]

True legend 1 of the world's best true tattooist..doc son bill did all my tattooing when I was growing up I lived in devonport at the time and visited the shop many times a week..back then u could get a panther head or rose tattoo for £10 awesome days!! I moved to South Wales in 2007 always brings back memories when I visit family and g drove past tattoo shop..thankyou 2 bill 4 all my tattooing god bless u guys from big Gary

[@jefffrost6104]

What a guy. I had my 1st tattoo by him in1963 in Union St. Plymouth.

[@ICONINKInterviews]

I'm sure he would do another one for you tomorrow - he's still in action, better than ever!

[@cliffbeer494]

I've had 2 tatt's done by Doc and 1 by his son and although I think that Doc is the best tattoo artist ever i think that his son ain't far behind him with regards to pure artistic talent. They both have their own way of thinking about designs and if you ask them what they think is the best art for the area you want done they will both have a different but equally excellent suggestion as to what you should seriously consider getting. Now I'm back in Plymouth I can't wait to get back in the shop to get some more work done with them. We have a lot of tattoo parlours in Plymouth but Doc price and his son are without a doubt the best in the city and in my and many other peoples opinion the best in the south of England.

[@ICONINKInterviews]

Thanks for your kind words Cliff. See you soon! Make sure you watch the Ashley Cain video on our channel this week. Just a preview... and much more to come.

[@swisstoni2913]

I remember when Doc Price tattoo'd me. He's mellowed somewhat over the years.

[@ICONINKInterviews]

haha, don't we all!

[@jamiejim112]

Legend !!🔥

[@jimmajammer11]

The stories he would tell you would be insane!

[@ICONINKInterviews]

they are - it's 30 minutes, but listen to the man!

[@whiteroomproduction6931]

We hope you might be inspired to watch some of the other icons in our series. Few more insane stories! None come close to Doc's of course... But some come close in their own right!

A man in a billion. Was 88 this year and STILL GOING STRONG!

[@FrankSGuerra]

Had the privilege of hanging out with this dude for a few hours at a hotel in Vegas once. Eating, drinking, and bullshitting about martial arts, tattoos, and everything else. Really great guy.

What a video and look into this legends life and things he has experienced. Everyone in Plymouth knows this man as a tattooist but not everyone knows his story and how he became a legend in his profession. Amazing video and insite into the man, the myth, the legend that is Doc Price

Brilliant documentary im also dyslexic and all i done was draw as a kid it was one of the only things i was good at im 37 now and have never really much money of drawings ect 7 months ago i eneded up buying a tattoo gun 🔫 practiced on myself , the only thing i regret was mot starting 20 years or so ago , but iv put my experience in art into my tattoos and way past apprentice stage x

[@HeadofSails]

Beautiful... thank you for taking the time to make that. I've just text the studio to see if this Welsh buddhism-loving Japanophile trainee-tattoist can get him to tattoo her! I've a feeling we would have much to chat about.

[@BetterTattooing]

Amazing. Love this

Legend of Plymouth! Good interview guys 👌🏼

Had a few tats by Bill, always been happy in the shop and chatting to Doc. You get what it says on the tin. Shame White Room charge the earth then pass you on to their artists that are there for a week and mess up your tatts.
