looks really good. I am impressed
If there is anything that 'you get what you pay for' refers to the most it would be tattoo work. In the shop I co-own with my exwife we see stuff all the time on people coming in wanting something covered up that they got somewhere from a friend or cousin or just a hole in the wall shop somewhere for cheap and it looked,cheap. Good work costs money. You have no idea what a nationally or internationally known artist charges,so feel lucky that you found a great artist local who hasnt had any national exposure,yet. Believe me,when they get famous the price goes way up and access to them is almost impossible. Ive been getting tattooed since 87' and I will and do travel almost any where for great work by someone I really want work from. 3 artists on my bubble I want work from right now are almost always either constantly booked or not taking any more clients in for awhile, and if you do get in you would have to take out a loan to get work done by some of them. But theyre that good.He's kind of expensive but he is worth every penny.

Really nice work you got there.
I have a few that Im not so proud of. Got when I was younger and my brother needed some practice.
Haha. Yaa,me too. I practiced on oranges and stuff when I was first started apprenticing in my first shop in San Francisco where I started working right out of art school. I did a little practicing on myself but my dumbass friends who wanted 'free' tattoos got the bulk of my first pieces. Lollll. We always have giggled at the old saying of 'you know how good your artist is by the work they have on them'. Sometimes it is,Ive seen some artists with really bad work,but usually it isnt really true. Some of it may be from them when they first started out but most like me were probably lucky that alot of their work was from coworkers trying to help train you.
Do you have a portfolio?? I want to see some of your work.
