Speaking from quite a bit of experience,hence the name INKED PARROTHEAD,my advice to you is do your home work,pick out a good artist with a reputable shop....and be careful with the chinese letter thing they are sometimes loosely translated and dont always mean what you are told,I have a large back piece,with a beach,ocean,palms,a carribean soul lizard(me),a pic of my wife in a sarong and bikini top,whales tale,half sunken pirateship and my childrens names scrolled in the sand all spread across my back looking like a buffett c.d. cover,plus a margaritta swilling parrott on my left calf....Im not quite done yet,they are addicting!!
Good Luck

On spring break a few years ago, I woke up with a raging hangover and a chinese tatoo on my back. My friend who was with me when I got it, wouldn't tell me what it meant, so it took me three days to figure it out.

i have wanted one for the lsat three years, since my son was born. its a basic interlocking initials design, but am still nervous about finding the RIGHT artist. what are some things i need to look for in the person who does this?

I ended up going and looking at a bunch of different shops. I asked around the area and finally I found a guy who was nice, showed me his work and told me exactly what to expect. He knew it was my first tat, and didn't get annoyed when I asked him to take a break cause it hurt (it was a 2 1/2 hour piece). Check their work, and if possible former clients and make sure that they are certified and state inspected. Make them open the needle in front of you berfore the tat and break the needle in front of you when they are done. Umm thats all thats coming to mind now...

i want something cute but beaching i live in the arm pit of hell...memphis...and im kinds stranded here for now ...so i have to have something to take me away....

don't overthink it. Just go into a couple places and look at each artists work. If they're working in a shop and have been there for quite some time, they're going to be pretty good at what they do. Since the tatt you want is pretty basic, anybody would do it. But for future reference, a lot of shops have guys who "specialize" for a lack of a better word, in certain types of tatts. If it's a decent sized shop, they'll have 1 guy who's the best at portraits, 1 guy who's the best at fantasy stuff, 1 guy who's the best at tribal, and so on.

Okay, I finally got my tattoo on my avatar.... I will be getting a new tattoo this weekend or next weekend... Can't wait

I know a really great guy if anyone in the Pittsburgh area is interested...I have had mine for almost three years now, and have no regrets...whatever you get, pardise nikki, make it unique and special to you
