Default tatoo shop recommendation

So I think I'm having the old midlife crisis, my birthday is Friday and I think I want to get a tattoo done because I'm feeling old.


I live in the SE, any recommendations for a place to go, I've already picked a design.

Depends on if you're going for a realistic looking Tasmanian devil or a more cartoonish one.

If you have some time, I'd search around your area for tattoo shops but more specifically, the artists that work there. If you have your design then find someone who does something kind of similar.

For example, I have a super basic one and the main part is a circle, so i found someone who was really good at circles. Tattoo Artist is more important than the shop itself.

If it ends up being a bad tattoo, please post a pic.

Bad tattoos are one of my favorite things.

Check out Saga Anderson w Boss Tattoos. He's really good at realistic ones, with great color. Check out his instagram 'InkbySaga'. https://www.instagram.com/inkbysaga/?hl=en

John is also a great tattoo artist there (Parkland area). I got my first one done there, and have a booking with Saga next year for a calf piece

Whatever if you decide on, if theres any text maybe have someone double check the spelling and grammar.

Just in case.

How about a full sleeve dedicated to Alicia Silverstone as it is also her birthday on Friday.

Don’t go with a shop based on geography.

I have a dragon made out of gemetric shapes. Pretty simple colors. I saw the drawing and I liked it

Some word of advice, if you are going to get a tattoo in a language that you are not well versed with (Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Arabic, whatever), make sure you get multiple people whose mother tongue is in that language to verify them for correctness. I've seen so many tattoos that are poorly translated...
