Do you even have any tattoo’s? I’ve been getting tattooed in our area for the last 10 years and all of mine have come out just fine. There’s absolutely no reason to go across the country or to NYC to get a tattoo. I think a couple people mentioned The Dead President’s Lounge. There’s a place in Schenectady that a bunch of my buddies have gotten work done at (the name isn’t coming to me at the moment) I find it pretty hard to believe that you have to travel outside of our area to get work done.
