i found 1 that i go to here. He did almost all of my wifes stuff, and he is awesome. They approached him and a bunch of other artists to come “instruct” at that school. He promptly told them to fuck off…:lol

FWIW, I’ve tattooed before. I’m a perfectionist and I’m far too critical of myself to continue doing it… the fact is, if you’re dumb and not an artist you should never pick up a machine and try it. You need to have the ability. My cousin is what people would call a scratcher and that kid can lay down ink better than a lot of legit shops in the area. It takes a brain, not a 2 week course. LOL

Takes away so much from the soul and tradition of tattooing. Shit is a fucking joke. No one from that will be hired in any semi decent shop. Fucking bullshit.

The art of tattooing is about going somewhere and apprenticing under a legit tattoo artist. My artist Anthony Lawton had a guy, Jeff Raino under him like 3 years ago now Jeff works at All Star(Anthonys shop) and does some legit portrait work.

Dude it’s not even the people out of their homes, so many “legit” shops have busted ass tattoos coming out of them.

This^^

So many studios are horrible. A good friend of mine has always been an artistic person. He does them out of his home and he is pretty much booked non stop. IMO he does some of the best work in my area.

I disagree that you have to go to NYC to get a good tattoo, both of my artists are local and I can tell you both of my tattoo’s look better than 80% of what’s printed in magazines…

With that being said, there are some great artists in NYC a couple of my friends go to Tim Kern…

To each his own, I have two artists. One is in CA, one is in NYC. I investigated for a long fucking time. It’s gonna be there forever.

Not saying these dudes don’t know there shit, just who I prefer.
