 |
|
I want to get my first tattoo, im stationed in California and got suggestions from alot of people about places. But am still not 100% sure
I dont really care about price.

Thats the basic idea of what i want.
Laugh now cry later. I like the skulls, dont want the jester stuff, and want some writing on it.
Any suggestions would work.[/url] |

That might work with the right artist, but you might want to consider going bigger. |

| agreed, and the drawings Terry has been posting are incredible. The ones he has been doing with the Marlin, Tuna, and Eel with the Jap waves are just sick. |

No doubt Terry Ribera is an incredible artist but do yourself a favor and look into Guru Tattoo in Pacific Beach. THEE best shop in town. Nate Banuelos does all my work.
