Reply to 'Touchy Subject... Tattoo Prices' (128 words)yeah, i like per-tat prices too, always works out cheaper!!
but hey, in the case of wanting a particular tat by someone who has coined an amazing personal style, i cant blame you. tim hendricks does amazing work, and nobody does it like him. hell, id love to be tattooed by him. but definitely not at miami ink. anyway, if ......
I think you can. I know a dude who got a DUI on a skateboard. ...
well.. i watch all the shows just cause it involves tattooing.. miami got stupid cause it's all about staging stuff now.. like nunez gets a speeding ticket every morning.. so amy buys him a day at the race track.. it's just moronic.. and la ink makes kat von d look like such a bitch.. she treated pixie like ......
so the shop minimum was $200? i get tattooed at true tattoo in hollywood and i think the shopp minimum is $80. this is the shop where both kat von d and chris garver worked before miami ink.. and on a side note... i watched a youtube video of kat von d doing a dog's portrait on some dude ......
exactly.. i have a portrait tattoo done by a real dude from a real shop and it looks amazing.. kat von d never came near it.. but everyone tells me it is the best portrait tattoo they have ever seen.. and you know what.. it only ran me 350 bones.. plus snacks, scotch, and tip....
point proven. people are stupid!
(dont get me wrong, Kat von D is a GREAT tattooer, so are all those guys on tv, but no better than your other great tattooers. theres guys in my town that im pretty sure could blow those tv guys out of the water. [well, except Garver, that dudes somethin else.] point being, they're ......
correction.. he said he would only let kat von d do it and no one else.. he wanted it done by the best.. i didn't explain to him that japanese work probably isn't her specialty...
yeah dude.. i used to work with a dude who didn't have any tattoos but said that mine looked badass so he was gonna get one.. but only a half sleeve.. he said he wanted his entire upper left arm to be all japanese.. he wanted a bigass dragon or koi or something.. he wasn't sure.. but he ......
yeah.. had that tattoo worked out.. you would have smiled everytime you saw it.. i can really admire a lot of tattooers out there that have all kinds of shitty and obscure tattoos with great stories behind them.. i recently saw a kat von d clip on you tube where she explains a tattoo she has of a deer getting ......
i can't recommend true tattoo is hollywood enough.. it's owned by the amazing clay decker and some of the best artist have worked there.. just to name drop.. it used to be kat von d's l.a. shop before she openned her own.. also.. chris garver, tim hendricks, a ton of really cool people work and have ......
