Thank you!! Much appreciated.

I knew I shouldnt have opened this thread! I did obviously out of my own concerns. Which were all just very validated. My partner is smack in the middle of his back piece adventure and doesnt seem to mind. I however have a horrible large lower back tattoo that will need to be covered in the process. My fears of having to get my ass tattooed are a reality im going to have to face. Aside from the hesitation due to the pain involved, its a huge commitment. Im not set on any one image, that actually changes depending on the artists i'd have to choose from locally in order to get it done in a timely fashion. With all of that being said I know once its finished I will be a VERY happy camper! ;)

Lots of great tattooers and shops here. Stop on by anytime you're around! - - - Updated - - - Thanks for the welcoming posts! Definitely a street shop, all kinds of crazy requests. My portfolio is all over the place ;)
