Whats worse? Bad tattoo shop with great artist or Great tattoo shop with bad artist?

[Asthma Inhaler Jim]

is there such thing? which is worse to you?

I'm not sure how anything is worse than a bad artist, but with all of the tattoo shops out there, I don't now why anyone would tolerate either. If you can't find a good artist in a good shop, you're not looking very hard.

Good artist is paramount. Once your tattoo is done the shop will only be a memory.

This question is subjective and depends on individual preferences and experiences. However, generally speaking, a bad tattoo shop with a great artist may result in a great tattoo.

On the other hand, a great tattoo shop with a bad artist may result in a poor quality tattoo or an unsatisfactory experience even with a clean and professional environment.

This is a good answer.

I think the artist is the main priority. The shop is irrelevant really as long as it’s functional and safe. The artist is what will make or break the tattoo.
