North Carolina shops/artists?

[sophistre]

Hey guys! I have a question for the experts. I have a friend in North Carolina who wants a tattoo. It's likely just to be lines, which you'd think would be easy, but most of the shops she's sent me the links for are not strong in the linework department. :/ I have terrible knowledge of which shops are where. Any suggestions for her? It definitely needs to be extra-good because she's in IT and wants something related to circuit boards, and obviously that is not in the least bit organic. (I don't editorialize what my friends wanna get, I just try to point them at somebody who will make it look as good as possible!)

Where in NC is your friend? Off the top of my head there are some great shops,

Triangle area I'd take a look at Glenn's in Wilmington, a walk from Chapel Hill.

Charlotte has Coast to Coast, a killer shop.

Asheville has Hot Stuff.

If your friend is willing to take a little drive Tony R. at Ancient Art tattoo in Virginia Beach is a very talented artist

Depends where in NC she's willing to go. I lived in Charlotte and Made To Last, 510 Expert, and Ace Custom are my favorite shops in town. I would highly recommend Made To Last, they're artists are all top notch. 

In Asheville, my favorite shop is Hot Stuff - they also have some of the best in the business.
