This is a pretty common thought from clients.......
......I explain to them that tattoo "collectors" are different than people with tattoos....
I push clients to explore the world of tattooing and collect tattoos from folks who create the kinda stuff they dig. Especially if your already interested in travel. Work a tattoo appointment into a vacation..or a trip.... Get work from outside your bubble.
So...whether it be from 3 guys in one shop.....3 shops on one block or 3 shops around the map.... The goal should be to get excited about your collection.
Any shop that has tattooers tattooed by many, should endorse you getting tattooed by ANY...
As long as it's good solid work.... Go get it... Anywhere you find it....

Seems obvious

Bob Roberts.... Stan Moskowitz.... And my pal Tattoo George Benjamin.....
This coming year I'll be adding Tony Polito for sure......

My sentiment exactly.......
My local BOH regs state walls must be of light color.
My guess is they feel a brighter, lighter area will be less likely to hide biohazard material splatter..and also must be sanitize able 36" from floor level...
This is probably some sort of OSHA reg from Food service areas...made to adapt into tattoo shops..
Like I said, they adopted a lot of outside information into the local regs...it's insane.
I'm preparing certain change proposals for next year...along with a couple local guys.....hopefully if all our ducks are in a row we can make the changes without screwing ourselves with these people.
- - - Updated - - -
To illustrate further the out dated regs we have...
We originally had beautiful pressed tin ceilings in the entire shop. They had a great vintage feel..and actually had to be dry walled over because the BOH felt the ceiling should be free of texture to prevent bacterial growth....lol....unreal....
One of the changes we will address...hopefully

The general public......and the tattoo community are two separate concepts.
I don't try and push people around with what they should and shouldn't get, I'm not a social worker...... But I do try to present them with options when I can.
I still give em the haircut they ask for....... I just try and comb it real nice for em.

Well... I might push a little.... Lol
