I need a solid traveling tatt artist, im not a fan of the studios around here and most artists I've come across had the killa tay mentality
for some reason i thought you were closer to the southbay
I fucking HATE most tattoo artists. Overly cocky, douchy, just all around lame folks. That being said a few of my best friends in the world do it. But I always think its funny when people (usually girls) brag about someone being a tattoo artist. Cool now I can basically assume they're lame. I really only go to those two guys and they've been solid good friends of mine for 10+ years. Whenever I'm on a trip I check out some shops and try and get something done, but more often than not the dudes bug me and I leave.
Are you in Phoenix?
tat artists are dicks.
reason why I didnt work at a shop for long.... I was giving serious thought to getting back in, & make a career change, but I'm still on the fence.
the guy who did some of my older ink, total douche.
but he watches his lip around me because i got him where he is with doing ink & I'll slap the fucking taste out his mouth if he ever got cocky with me.
that being said my other 2 artists are super humble, great people, & very talented.
one is a super beautiful blonde/blue tall curvy but skinny white girl & the other is my youngster who is a massive samoan.
downside is one is in Tracy (the valley) & the other is in OC (Socal) so it's hard to be impromptu getting ink unless I wanna pay a shop.
which I refuse.
I only paid for 1 or 2 tats, ever.
LOL yeah lower back is a no no, in the 90's White boys were putting their last name on the lower back to be different than the Mexicans and I thought it looked goofy
EDIT: I got my whole back done, & on the bottom across it says in 6 inch letters NOR CAL... nobody every says anything, because the rest os covered too.
