My aunt who was like a mother to me past away in December. I want to get something done in memory of her, this will be my first tattoo and I want the best possible work. I don’t care about price really, I just want what I pay for. Let me know.
Thanks,
Nick

Be prepared for a list of (almost) every single tattoo artist whom ever lived.
I have gotten all six of mine done by Skyler Townes of Sky High Ink in Perry, NY. I drive an hour an a half to get work done. I’d rather have it done right than just have it done.

Ha. We should just make a tattoo directory…
What are you looking to get?
I’d recommend:
Hands of Doom
Divine Machine

divine machine or beyond divine machine tattoo (beyond dmt). If you are under 18 tho they wont do it, even if your parents consent to it.

there are places that allow you to get tattooed when you’re under 18 with parental permission? i don’t think so.
