1st tattoo

3 messages · last activity 8/21/2004

Hey! I just spent the last 5 months traveling around the Hawaiian Islands and Australia and soon will fly to L.A. and N.Y. for a couple of days each before heading back to Austria. At the end of this trip I wanted to get a tattoo done and since it's going to be my first I'm anxious about making it 'perfect' (new-by:). I want to get a sun going over into some kind of cave and thought those are two of the best artists I could find on the internet: www.zulutattoo.com www.nickbaxter.com What I liked most about them is that their tattoos have some kind of deeper meaning (e.g. Nick's 'Fetus' just totally blew me away). Hope you experts could give me some kind of advise. Thanks alot in advance! Aloha, Phil
I would definitely call Nick Baxter and set up an appointment during your stay in the New York area. Hes a fantastic artist and will do a very powerful sunset. Amazing artist with a great head on his shoulders. He can draw up anything you want. You should also check out Boris when you get back to the other side of the pond. Your one lucky(or smart I guess) person if you have nick do your first tattoo!
Thanks alot Gabe for your help! What hourly rate does darkside tattoo have? And how long is a detailed sun tattoo on my shoulder probably going to take? Phil
