[dELfONiK]

When I used to live in Jacksonville, I had a friend that did work on the side. We did this piece at another friends house. I paid $200. My friend has since moved to NJ, and I'm looking for similar work. If you know someone that can do this type of work, send me a PM. Oh, BTW... My piece says DeL.

karmic tattoo in mcdonough, Joey

Same guy did a buddy of mine's tatoo. This was my first experience with tatooing, and I have to say I was impressed with karmic and the people there. Joe did an excellent job imo. We took to different designs and merged them, and it came out great.

[Scrappy]

All or nothing has a from me for my back, and will be going back there to get the rest as soon as i can get tats again

13 roses tatoo in atl is where i got mine. Hours of research. They were the best.

[The Ninja]

13 roses for the win. Got my first tattoo there....got dah hookup cuz i'm under 18...but the thing is. I'm not getting tattoos in GA again because of their regulations. Not because u have to be over 18 but because of the cleanliness factor. Check out the laws on tattooos man.

Yea. I hate getting tattoos in clean parlors. I'd rather go to some seedy, shit-stained joint in the back of some shack in an alley and get mine done. Later, QD.

don't try to purposefully misunderstand me. I meant the fact that the laws for Tattoo parlor cleanliness are very slack in GA.

Any tattoo parlor that will do tattoos on minors will do pretty much anything to make money and I dont feel they can be trusted. just my opinion. Got mine done by Will at Puddy Tats in Buford, well three out of my twelve, so far hes been my favorite and he will do all the rest of my work.

its cuz i knew one of the artists and he hooked me up. not releasing any names or anything...u might also want to try out "Planet Ink" i think its called. I've heard some good things about them.

[joesblk_teg]

i got mine from ink wizard on 78, they did a good job, and it was very clean, sorry picture is alittle big

You paid a shitload for that, too. I guarantee it. Ink Wizard people are assholes and very over-priced. I can't comment about the others as I have never dealt with them. All I do know for a fact is that several of those I called and none could come close to Black Cat's prices. I even left my main guy for this one, lolol. Later, QD.

Pie.

[3.14]

Pie.

wtf mate?

QD, you paid 100 at Black Cat? that sounds like its on the low for a back piece outline. i am looking for a 1/3 sleeve w/o colour. so i am just trying to feel out places. obviously the cheeper the better but if more money gets me better stuff than more money it is.

[fawk_you]

wtf mate?

3.14=pie, apparently you didnt like math in school too much. Sorry I found it very humerous.

[Scrappy]

dude that paid 100 for that little star thing... you got kinda jipped... i got my huge back cross for 175 and that was with the 50 tip included... the others i have didnt cost me, but the ones i am getting i got quoted today and in total it still seems NICE price to me from ALL or NOTHING still... 450 for the 3 i am getting soon after i get back from vegas... heres my cross

hunny, my last name is 'pye' so i get the pun. its on purpose. and 3.14 would be 'pi' in math class. i am glad you found it humorous, that was my sad attempt at humor.

Give him a call. It can't hurt, lolol. They've been around for 18 years. Later, QD.

most intelligent thing in this thread....all this talk about $ is stupid, if youre gonna have something on you for the rest of your life why not spend a little extra to have it done right and how you want it

as for tattoos and pricing goes, it really all depends on what type of tattoo you are getting, i have intriquite stuff to small stuff and ive used several different guys, its all about whose the best at what you want, i dont have more than one tattoo by the same person, i have, however, gone to the same shop for the past 6 years and wouldnt consider going elsewhere

i mean if youre looking for simple outlined black/colored letters any yahoo can do them, if you want protraits then you need to scope some folks out, same w/ more intriquite work, i have a half sleeve in progress now thats been worked on by two guys, the first guy did the kanji letters for me b/c he was $40 cheaper than the guy who did my koi but did an outstanding job as its just simple outlining/coloring, and the guy that will be doing the water scenes is also a different guy, all handpicked in the shop by myself

now i have my sons name that runs down my ribcage and i made a mistake on that, not by quality or price but i let an apprectice do the work w/ the owner of the shop watching....shouldve let a pro handle that sensitive of an area, but i paid for it in sheer pain

the unfinished koi have sleeve...the letters were done about 2-3 weeks before the koi was done...and i will be going back after the closing on our house in october to begin finishing it $60 for the kanji, and $200 for the koi


i have a couple more, not sure if i actually have pictures of them or not....doesnt really matter though, didnt get them to show them off

[nitrousfed]

joey at karmic

Or, why not shop around and get the best prices you can for what you want? Ink Wizard wanted $300 for the same thing I paid $80 for from another, not as known tattoo parlor. And the artwork and job was done quite well. No reason to pay more if you don't have to. Later, QD.

[{X}Echo419]

^people pay more because the shop knows they will. it's kinda like Mercedes. those cars are trash. but the only reason people buy them is their expensive, so they think it's a good car.

did u ever get it filled in? i saw th outline and was wondering if u were getting it filled in. got pics?

[joesblk_teg]

if you paid a 100$ for an outline thats not a great deal even if it is your whole back, or was the 100$ include the filling it of the tattoo

[quickdodge®]

Actually, it is a good deal. No one else would do it for less than $200. Including Ink Wizard. Later, QD.
