I have been tattood pretty much all over the state.
I have to say there are some great shops in the atl and athens area.
Timeless tattoo is great cap is an award winning artist for many many years.
13 roses soul is BAD ass so is lil d
psycho is great too
all or nothing is a great shop good people
Black cat great shop been hanging out there for years
pain and wonder is great
american classic is really good
but alot of these shops have high shop minimums.
I have a shop in gainesville that has been filling in my left arm did some color work on my leg.
that shop is called new vision, Robbie is the artist to get work done by there
I know I have left off a lot of shops that do great work
if you are wanting to get a big tattoo look through the books of the work from that artist, ask questions if there is anything about the shop you dont like go to another shop. Also figure out what kind of style you want then start asking who is good at that style.
if you need ideas or shop reviews go to
www.bmezine.com that may help you get an idea if you need one.
