Interesting topic. I'd rather get a bad or OK tattoo from a great person than an incredible tattoo from an unpleasant or shitty person. That's just me though.

also I visited Scotland for the first time and was on a boat that played Scottish accordion music, and now it's my favorite genre. Sandy Brechin is a great example.
