That is true. That's why you still do your homework. With mine, I've had at least two endorsements for both artists I've used.gut;1395107 wrote:I was just about to say that an unscrupulous artist could easily fake a portfolio. Buyer beware.
I had an acquaintance recently who chose the artist based on price alone. Someone said they would do her tattoo for $20.
Ended up looking like shite and has what looks like a rash forming around it. LOL!

Portfolio. Fuck that. I go to a guy that went to high school work my sister. I take zero chances when it comes to permanent.

Absolutely. But in my case I'd have to do some serious research to find people to recommend a tattoo artist for me. You still have sort of the same problem as far as finding qualified and experienced people to recommend someone.O-Trap;1395112 wrote:That is true. That's why you still do your homework.

I'm pretty sure Scott at Empire was the guy that gave my wife her first (and only) tattoo a month or so ago.

I saw this pop up the other day and was impressed by the fix. I've been itching to get another one but I can't decide on what.

I still know what I want, idea wise. Just need the right design. And I'm just waiting for a little bit. Don't have the expendable income for it right now.justincredible;1396272 wrote:I saw this pop up the other day and was impressed by the fix.

I don't know how edgy tattoos really are anymore. I just like them.
