as with most art, "best" is really subjective. each artist has a different specialization.......portraits, graffiti, scripts+fonts, Asian-influence, etc.
i know it sounds like a cop out, but, honestly, i personally do not know enough about each artist in the shop to give my opinion on who's the top dog. but if you check the website, there is a hierarchy and a lead artist. there are also examples of each artist's work.
these guys aren't claiming to be Mark Mahoneys or Mister Cartoons. but they do have experience and do good work that people should feel confortable having done on their bodies. again, art, esp tattoos, is very subjective and personal, so it's absolutely prudent to consult w/the artist(s) before having actual work done.

heads-up: talked to my friend and talked him into offering BAIC'ers a discount on tats+piercings! he hasn't figured out exactly how much yet, but likely 10-15%, which is pretty decent considering their pricing is already real reasonable.

interested parties, leave your email, & i'll give you more info, incl the 'secret password!' lol sorry, i don't do PMs much, and my box has been full for a while anyways. i usually post from my phone since i'm on the go so much and, for some reason, i can't clear my box out from my phone.

btw, too late now, but they were running a killer promo for the opening.....1st 20 customers got FREE name tats. my boy said it was hella crazy in there!
