First learn to spell Tattoo. Then check yellow pages.

Jeff: remember the guy next door to Amattos? Ask him for samples, maybe he's got some good work done. I think McDrama knows the guy that works there - can't remember the name of the place though, it's slipping my mind.

I got my tattoo done at Industrial Strength Tattoo in Berkely. It turned out just as I wanted it too. I love it.



Its still scabbed up there so it looks kinda weird.

Yours came out pretty nice Dan.
Charlie I rember that shop. Just looking for other suggestions. Most of the time peeps find a shop they really like and continue to go there. That's what I'm looking for.
Lurk, I hope you, your friend and his shop find yourselves in the middle of a freak hurricane. Keep your comments to yourself.

That looks really nice! Does it carry over into a sleeve? How much of your back?
BTW there is nothing Ghey about a family crest. The high res is awesome. The latin translates to "Honor is aquired by virtue". of course my family name in the lower banner.

Yeah, took about 3 sessions to do it. It doesnt look so big because its on a big *** back (I'm just large, as is my back). All in all, it was about 7+ hours of tattooing.

I really recommend the shop... I plan on going there for future tattoos. I'm not a big fan of shading and such in tattoos... I tend to go for the solid stuff, like my tattoo, and the guys there have a lot of experience doing it. My tattoo artists' name is Dan.

Oh now you're impressed. Hah. It carries over into a half sleeve and wraps the shoulder and onto the chest.

Thats not cool dude... You may not like his tattoo design, fine... But if it means something to him, then more power to him. A lot of people don't like mine... They call me a ****, etc... But thats just them showing their ignorance. I dont care what ANYONE thinks of my tattoo because it means the world to me... Its a permanent reminder of my fallen family members, and shows my pride in my roots.
