Hi there I have some questions

[Esaxon]

Hi there I'm getting ready to get my first tatoo of many and I I have some concerns about the person doing the job at the moment the guy I'm getting the tattoo from doesn't have his own shop so he's doing it out of an RV is there anything I should look out for ?

unless this is a joke,

personally for me, a guy doing tattoos out of an RV would be a red flag.

Especially for a first tattoo,I would do some more research of artists that you would like to get work from.

I would look at established busy shops.

You should look out for artists working out of an RV!

You don't want to gamble a lifetime of visual regret (never mind the possibility of infection, etc) based on saving a few dollars. You're going to wear the results for a lifetime.

Don't go there. Please.

I wouldn't even know where to start. Go find an actual brick and mortar shop with professional tattoo artists that have verifiable experience and a portfolio that you can look at and can't drive off when you get the worst tattoo ever. Do some research, this is such a terrible idea I can't believe it's not a prank.

Here's what you'll wind up with:

You should look out for a real shop with actual artists that have good portfolios and then go there.

Best thing you could hope for in that scenario is that you'd get to meet Walter White. You only use RVs for cooking meth.

This is definitely not a joke but shortly after I  posted this I contacted a shop near the shop he used to work at and found out he does amazing work and just don't have the ability to be in an actual shop yet due to where he lives  I do appreciate all the advice  yall rock if I don't see a sketch of the tatoo I am wanting I won't he going

He has the means to run around tattooing in an RV, but he doesn't have the means to get to a shop? Run Forrest, Run!

Coming soon - is this a blowout, is this infected, can this be fixed?

drawing does not equal tattooing ability or safety

You asked, and we answered. If you still go there, you are crazy.

I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

Go to a reputable shop.

See video for what happens when someone tattoos you in an RV - or in this case a car.

It's the acceleration, corners and braking that usually cause the issues.

It may be possible on a long stretch of highway - but still not usually recommended.

skip to 35 seconds in for the educational bit.

Isn't Timothy Hoyer traveling around in an RV or something like that? But, i mean... he would basically get his pick of shops anywhere he parks it.
