Jnvlv Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hey guys, I just recently got a few tattoos and love them!! I am lucky that I found local place that I like very much to get any work done. I am 24 years old and only have had piercings (industrial, eyebrow and left lobe) my parents were not fans of those so I can't imagine what they'd say or how they would react to the tattoos (I can but unsure of what it would actually be like lol) Yah I haven't told them at all but they are visiting in February from CT so they will see in person sighthound 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun1105 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Welcome! I like your cobra/ankh tattoo. I was just visiting the Phoenix area last month, though I didn't get to see a whole lot because I was only in town for a few days and had a wedding to attend. (Of course I got tattooed though. I went to Immaculate Tattoo in Mesa - found it as a result of LST!) Reyeslv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jnvlv Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 For the snake/ankh tattoo, it was 120/hr and took about 3.25 hours so I paid 390 for it Do you think that makes sense? I do and I am OK and proud of it, she did an amazing job Some of my friends say I was crazy and other people I tell say the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyeslv Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 A place in Old Town Scottsdale called Old Town Ink I have a cousin that had some work done there. Her work done by Christine.... In the Phoenix Area you HAVE to go to Immaculate Tattoo in Mesa. Aaron Coleman is a master and he will not disappoint.

Well a guy named Aaron "Bubba" Irwin, who is part owner of the shop did the Scorpion and Christine did the Snake/Ankh They are all very awesome, there are 3 others there. I really felt comfortable with them and they are funny and talk to you during the process. They build good relationships with their customers. I am one who once I find someone I like I usually don't ever stray away. I do this with my hair, Drs, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do and I am OK and proud of it, she did an amazing job Some of my friends say I was crazy and other people I tell say the same While we generally don't like to talk specific numbers/prices around here, I would say it makes sense. Most people have no idea what a quality tattoo costs. It is going to be on you for the rest of your life - going cheap makes no sense at all.

Dumpleton Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Another vote for Aaron Coleman, people fly from all over the world to visit tattooers such as Aaron Coleman. Reyeslv and Shaun1105 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jnvlv Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Dang yah the people I go to usually have to plan a good full month ahead. It will give me time to think and save $$ though :p Thanks for the info guys and the intro here. I am glad I found this forum. I feel like almost everyone has tattoos but only a handful of people really CARE and cherish their art and who actually know what they are talking about. Good to know those people are here cltattooing, Shaun1105, Gregor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
