I looked at lots of tattoo places before i made my decision on where to go. Cheaper does not equal better

If your selection of an artist is based more on their rates then their portfolio then you probably need to put a little more thought into what you are doing…

That being said Daniel at Star city does the most amazing color work I’ve seen. I got mine done by Tom Little at Alexs and he did a damn good job but the work I’ve seen from Daniel just looks like it’s on a entirely different level from everyone else.

I can picture you having some sort of chinese kanji characters on your neck seeing as you're a pitbull breeder.. Pictures of your free ink please, Lil Scrappy.

I can see you wearing latex pants listening to techo seeing as your a hacker zero cool.
