I'll do tattoos for free with a BIC pen..

or if you want bigger lines, a fat marker could be requested..

no the kid had a rare disease. If I remember right it was something with his blood and it left him open to illness. I can't remember exactly how it went, I'll look up the articles later....I read them as they were coming up in the papers.

Basically the shop was not at fault. They didn't do anything dirty or have any bad practices. The kid had a condition. When asked he did not inform the shop. He sadly paid the price of a poor judgment call on his part. Sucks.

Let me re-phrase myself. My tattoo means a lot to me but the artist was a buddy of mine (ex-tattoo artist) and it's 95% what i wanted and wasn't done in a parlor. Occasionally i regret it but it's a part of me now and it holds a lot of meaning to me.

Anyway, my point is be 110% sure of what you want. Goto a tattoo artist and have them draw you a design if you can't be creative. Look at his portfolio etc etc etc. don't jump the gun with a novice artist. be sure your **** is straight mentally and physically before you get it.

If you're 110% sure, have a design you want, have a good artist then you'll be okay.

my friend is the nephew of Mike Rose. Unfortunately, Mike Rose is not local to here, but if he was in the area, i'd see about getting you in touch with him.

Another vote for Everlasting Tattoo in San Francisco. Everyone that works there is an amazing artist. George Campise is my man but I would also highly recommend Mike Davis and Giant.

My best suggestion is take your time and select a tattooist like you would research a new car. Check as many portfolios as you can before you delve into ink.

true...true....most regrets I have come across this is what they are. My first one is very meaningful to me but it needs to be touched up really bad. It was a friend of mine that did it and it was my first so a mix of not being his most solid work I probably didn't take care of it like I should. Either way I don't regret it. But sometimes I'm bummed it's not perfect..haaa.

Oh....and Mike Giant is amazing. Great artist all around. Great graphic artist....inspiration to any artist.
