So...as the title says....

Where's a good clean place with talented artists? Cannot seem to search from my phone, window won't open...I'm sure this had been asked before.

Thanks
Mike

Used to be Paul Jeffries at Smilling Buddah. Not sure if he's still around. You could try googling him.

Really all depends on what style you want and what your looking for. I looked for about two years before I found the artist for me. In that time I spoke with allot of artists that were talented but just not the style I was looking for. So while one may be great at his/her style, they may not be in another style type. Take your time and visit lots of shops. A good tattoo and cheap and a cheap tattoo an it good.

As was said, you have to decide what style you want. Every artist is unique. When I lived in Calgary (wow, been almost 5 years now) I was quite impressed with "Strange World" Their artists were great, with a few traveling around the world competing and learning new techniques. In fact the only reason I was able to get in was because the artist I wanted wasn't even back from Europe and had just started taking clients again. But like I said, this was a few years ago. Shops change. But I would at least take a look at them.

X2 I have a half sleeve from there. Very happy. I believe they're recovering from a building fire right now, but they may be open again now. Dave left and opened his own shop called TenSpeed Tattoo I believe. He's great.
