tattoo goo is just some gimmick.

and if you decide to have that tattoo touched up then go to another artist. if an artist can't make straight lines on the first shot then he won't be able to do it on the second shot either. a tattoo is on your body forever-- you want it to be perfect. an unskilled or out of practice tattoo artist can leave scars on your body.


if you need a recommendation for good artists in your area let me know. and congrats on getting a first piece.
