So to resurrect a thread....
Now getting serious about traveling to the UK to get some tattoos (currently looks like by Stewart, Duncan X, and possibly one more). Planning plane, hotel, etc...all very exciting. The thing I am wondering if any of you ran into was how do you send a deposit? I am lucky to live in NYC, with a lot of great artists within a subway ride away, so I always bring my deposits in person.
Also might hop over to San Francisco possibly in January-February (work/funds depending).

Does it still count as a unicorn if the horn is coming out of his eye socket?

wow iwar, you must not have a bad tattoo on you, these are killer. hope you had a great time!

Sometimes I really can't tell the difference anymore. Tattooing is SO over saturated that it feels like i work at hot topic most of the times. I mean when everybody has a fucking tattoo what's the difference anyway? I've seen tons of kids with tough traditional tattoos wearing hipster v necks and thick rimmed glasses. But what about tattooers? Dickies and flannel? I mean fuck! It's all been done and over done. None of us are original, we might have got there sooner but does it matter anymore? How about we all dress like it's the 30's? Oh wait that's done... How about ties and button downs... Fuck another cliche. Today tattooing not just about the tattoo it's about the total image of the client wearing it... And I think that's bullshit. When "alternative" is the mainstream, what's alternative? I don't have a clue...
Side note: some of the above tattoos are really stupid!!!

I tried my best... this picture doesn't do it much justice though (Meyer piece on the right if anyone's wondering)

tattoos based around demons/death/skulls due to their powerful meaning regardless of region, religion, everyone has their own version even if you are atheist. Not a very big fan of horror tattoos though.

first one, from about four years ago. always took my dad's forearm tattoo to heart in school, and because skulls are rad...

done by Dennis McPhail of Artist at Large in Wichita, KS.

I will say that even if you are the best tattooer switching finding out from the customer that your not going to the original shop then jumping from shop to shop to "private studio", does hurt your reputation on a personal level for me. And I agree location does not effect ability (unless on the high seas!). It's not really about the money since 100 barely dents the cost of tattoo but more about it was offered then never received.

Perkele!
Where is the El Grimo tat?

"Nope not there either......where did my balls go?"
