Fuck, the tattoos in the link look like shit.. I'd like to withdraw my last comment please.. ;)

Agreed.. The first pic looks as though he is trying to reinvent the wheel.. I can see why it would appeal to some ppl but I'd prefer the second one personally.

This likely the case with 'tattoo shows' but before assuming a shop owner who doesn't tattoo is doing while the 'fad' lasts could likely be pretty far off base.. If a non tattooing person owns a successful shop, my first assumption would be he/she has a passion for tattooing but is not artistically inclined enough to tattoo and do a good job and instead employees ppl who can and 'lives his dream' through them.. I say that because I know a guy like this..

Welcome! Great looking tattoos!

Welcome! The tattoo looks good. Whenever I've been slightly unhappy with part of one of mine, a buddy has always said 'just get another and you'll forget all about it'.. It works too ;)

......

Excluding blatant work of scratchers, art is subjective in any form, tattoos included, always has been, always will be.

About 30 miles SE of Raliegh in Smithfield, I get tattooed in Raleigh though.

Welcome! I'm from NC as well :)

Welcome to the show! Your tattoos look great!!

The tiger with the hour glass is cool stuff! I just followed him on IG, love seeing quality work!

Welcome to the site finally! ;)

Well there ya have it.

Pictures?

Lots of people do it either way.. Some stick with one artist while others collect from various artists. My artist has done all four of mine but his wife is extremely talented and I'm hoping to get tattooed by her as well and in the future I plan on being tattooed by other artists in The future. I don't believe most artists would be offended by collecting tattoos from other artists. If you want work of a certain style you should go to an artist that excels in that style, simple as that Do you believe your artist is responsible for your infection!? That's the vibe I'm getting?

Ha! My money is on this hurting the worst, or best.. How ever one chooses to look at it ;)

Bike batteries are sensitive, many times being drained once can damage it, good thing for warranties right? Sounds like trucking or trailer ing to the shop will be the safest bet

^agreed! Wouldn't change anything.. Being I'm not two years in that's a good thing I guess. All mine have turned out great so far.
