Whats worse? Bad tattoo shop with great artist or Great tattoo shop with bad artist?

[Asthma Inhaler Jim]

is there such thing? which is worse to you?

I'm not sure how anything is worse than a bad artist, but with all of the tattoo shops out there, I don't now why anyone would tolerate either. If you can't find a good artist in a good shop, you're not looking very hard.

Good artist is paramount. Once your tattoo is done the shop will only be a memory.

This is a good answer.

I think the artist is the main priority. The shop is irrelevant really as long as it’s functional and safe. The artist is what will make or break the tattoo.

The reputation of the tattoo shop is often based on the work of its artists. Even if the shop is great, a bad artist can damage the shop's overall reputation and potentially harm business.

 

A great tattoo shop will likely have higher standards for the quality of work that its artists produce. A bad artist might not meet those standards, which can reflect poorly on the shop and potentially harm future business.

 

A bad tattoo is a permanent mark on the body. Even if it's done in a great shop, a bad artist's work can lead to dissatisfaction, regret, and potentially costly removal or cover-up procedures.
