The way I put it simply after dealing with a so so guy getting a tattoo is don't do it. If they suck up front don't think it's going to get better with time. There are tons of awesome tattooers that are cool people. While they are people and people have their personality quirks sometimes these cannot be overlooked. Out of the 4 people that have tattooed me only one sucked; Stewart, Matt and Regino were awesome from the get go, the other dude not so much.
