whoa man calm down don't fall into that "my guy is the best shit around!" i hate that no matter where you go or what you get somebody's always like man you should've gone to ______ they could have done that. take the suggestions ppl give you then search their work out and get a good tat. So many ppl have horrible tats and its sad to me. One person may be the best at this but not so good at that it all depends on what you want.
Electric blue in brandon is now something else i think Dan Fagan actually bought it, he has taken 1st and 2nd in the Jap sleeve at the convention, thats where i'm going next year for my sleeve (japanese) but i would not let anyone work on my polynesian leg aside from my guy in Jupiter Fla.
1st tat just think it thru really well!
oh and my buddy has 2 dragons on his legs from the Atomic in Brandon and let me tell you i feel bad for him they are not the most detailed dragons but we all say they are good what else can you do right?

Wow are you kidding me? those are pretty low level tats man i mean they may be better than some but i looked at all those and didn't like ONE of them. Some were better than others but.....whats up with the zombie theme?
The shark with shitty skulls in it was pretty bad, the dracula pic is horrible and i'm just giving my opinion i'm sure he does tattoo's better than i could but i would not pay for one of those....
For you first tat go to Fagan in this area i think his stuff ranks up there with Chris Garvers work of which is FANTASTIC imo.
Pine-ellas need we say more?

[hondatech101]

well i ended up going to imperial iron. Dan was going to do it but i was in a rush to get my first tattoo and while dan was out i has scott do it. turned out good. i have a design i made my self and will prolly have dan finish it for me. Props to scott though good work and he gave me the best price i could have gotten.

[christianlooney]

Dude! WTF? You don't rush getting a tattoo brother its there for life, i'm glad you got want makes you happy but shit never settle for permanant ink and its not real cool to have one artist start a tat and another to finish it. i don't think many respectable cats will even do that. Where are the pics of this first tat man we want to see it.
how much was it? how big is it? what is it of? come on man hook us up i love tattoo's

[christianlooney]

www.classacttattoo.com has a pic of my leg from the first/second setting we sat for 9hrs the sat (8hr of needle) and 6.5 sunday (5hr of needle) i don't know why he has not posted my foot,knee(front/back) and the thigh..lazy i guess. but if you want authentic (not tapped) polynesian this is your man. He lived in Hawaii, his friends are Samoan and the the cat that taught him is a big ol' Samoan brother....makes me look small...well they both do actually.

[hondatech101]

haha i know its small for now but as u can see im adding to it ill do it in stages. but yeah it was 50. blue devilwanted to charge me 250!!!! lmao

[Chris Beach]

Ed Powell @ blue devil Ybor. he's the one doing my sleeve and i couldn't be happier. pricing is fair. and by fair i mean not cheap...but for good work thats on you forever...i wouldn't want flea market pricing.

[christianlooney]

$250 for that lion is far from fair brother....esp for a 15 minute tat

man i'd like a pic of your sleeve those on his site aren't that good and i find the fact that he has a polynesian tribal tatt offensive. Any ol' tattoo artist should not do plynesian tribals......
whats his cost per hour?
Dan Fagan is 500% better than that for $100/hr
if anyone but you disagrees go look up both sites....its a no brainer.
If you like it great thats what matters...i mean i'm sure some will say mine is gay but hey i think its the coolest thing ever, right up there with the Rocks'

Everyone is going to have a different preference. My opinion when getting a tattoo is that you should check out a lot of artist's work and find a reputable artist who's style you really like. The saying "You get what you pay for" is so true when it comes to something that is on your body for the rest of your life.

thats true it all boils down to what you want and quality does come with the price unless you know the person tatting you another good place to get inked though is art explosion tattoo in peircings in brandon 212 robertson street a few friends of mine got inked there and they do a damn good job at a good price and they got deatail oriented tats but different artists do have different styles so deffiently shop around and word of advice when you do get inked dont move at all

[Hellaslow]

I like to get mine in jail... you'll always remember how and why you got it...

fuck going to joe blow tattoo shop and paying 3k for a tattoo!

so i guess i can say go to Florida state tattoo ..lol
