Now if you really want to get one is do some research for local artists online now I will spend hours days or weeks researching stuff. Now you found two or three artists you like now go out and check out the shops see if they are talk to the artist to see what kind of person they and also ask to see there books and see if you like any of there work. Now a side note on some artists is you may find some that are cocky or have attitude don't take that as them being jerks they are just proud of there abilities. So now you found your person to do your work explain to them in detail what you want heck find a picture you like and take it in. Oh another side note find out if they use new needles or just clean them I like new as they are sharper and don't hurt as much but not a huge deal breaker. If you are not happy with what they draw up don't be scarred to tell them. I also don't pick a artist by price I know most want to spend the lowest amount but you might get burned remember the book of there work I told you to look at well that will show you the quality of there work don't be scared to say thanks for your time and leave. Oh and another thing flip them another twenty when the work is done if you like it. Oh don't forget to post up a picture in this post when you get your work done. Sorry to ramble on.

My favourite tat is the word 'ronin' followed by the word in Japanese along my forearm. Total impulse move, took a half day from work walked into the studio and dropped 100 bucks to get it done. Was very relieved that I still loved it when my mood toned back some lol

My favorite tat is my first, a totem like representation of a crow over my right shoulder blade.

My favorite is my anchor. I impulsively bought matching anchors for myself and a friend. Well worth it. She's still a friend.

I got my first tattoo Sunday night I love it and loved the experience. no real pain mostly tickled. it's an anagram. not sure how the pic will turn out on here. it says believe from my side and dream from the other. uploadfromtaptalk1403000865727.jpg
