every one has their own personal preference. check outa few places, look at all the artists previous work and go with whomever you trust. and if the artist is booked for a while, don’t get mad. be happy. that means they’re good and people trust him/her. ---

I’ve given up referring people to the best place in buffalo. Cause everytime I do, they get pissed they have to wait ~2 months. And end up going to HOD, or American Skin Art, or Cooper @ Cowpoke…or even worse Millenium. Now, I’m not saying those places are bad… I’m just telling you which I think the best for what you want. ![http://myspace-337.vo.llnwd.net/01191/73/38/1191478337_l.jpg](http://myspace-337.vo.llnwd.net/01191/73/38/1191478337_l.jpg) ![http://myspace-953.vo.llnwd.net/01191/35/98/1191478953_l.jpg](http://myspace-953.vo.llnwd.net/01191/35/98/1191478953_l.jpg) ![http://myspace-282.vo.llnwd.net/01191/28/29/1191479282_l.jpg](http://myspace-282.vo.llnwd.net/01191/28/29/1191479282_l.jpg) ![http://myspace-111.vo.llnwd.net/01191/11/10/1191480111_l.jpg](http://myspace-111.vo.llnwd.net/01191/11/10/1191480111_l.jpg) ![http://myspace-551.vo.llnwd.net/01191/15/51/1191481551_l.jpg](http://myspace-551.vo.llnwd.net/01191/15/51/1191481551_l.jpg) ![http://myspace-125.vo.llnwd.net/01191/52/11/1191481125_l.jpg](http://myspace-125.vo.llnwd.net/01191/52/11/1191481125_l.jpg) Thats just one of the artists’ work.

If you want it to look realistic…go to Corey Cudney. Hands down, one best realism artists in the nation. Ask EZFD about his brothers Clint Eastwood tattoo. :ohnoes: But you’re also have to remember…you gotta pay to play. ---

You also have to remember that Buffalo is way way behind with whats “cool”. The people here also, get very little amount of different things. 90% of the people have the same thing or a spin off of the same thing. ---
