Interesting story: I visited some friends in the middle of Eastern Pennsylvania and we walked along Main Street of this bumble-fuck town. I stopped in this little tattoo parlor.
First off, I need to say that the interior was incredible. The parlor was formerly a bank. Like, old-school with the vault in the middle of the room. So cool.
Second, I never saw so many pictures of naked women in one case in my life. Apparently the same man who works in this establishment pierced a lot of porn stars' tongues.
Third, this same man tattoo'd the members of the bands Slipknot and GreenDay. I mean, on their web site they even brag "We have Tattooed and Pierced some of the biggest names in porn: Jenna Jameson, Shane, Janine and Kendra Jade." This tiny, tiny town is tattooing so many famous people. Wow!
Ok, so my point is that Chris, they guy who runs this place and tattooed the above names wants to do MY tattoo. Hoo-Whee!! He's a fabulous artist and he's quick! I watched him do an arm piece in under an hour. WOW!
It's clean, it's respectable, it's quality work. They aren't expensive, either for the quality of work they do. Chris was very reasonable. For my back piece I was sure to pay 400 bucks (and take at least two days), and he told me flat out, "I'm not letting you pay 400 dollars for that tattoo. I'll have it done in one sitting, if you can take the pain." I feel special. If he can crank that out in three hours, then he is a god.
