| I'll be there in late April for 6 days and would like to check out a shop or two. Anyone been there? |

I haven't been to S.F. since I was a kid but I've heard some good things about this shop. I think the artists are on the traditional side.

I like their stuff, but Fly's looking at San Antonio.
I can't help you with there, but are you willing to drive 1.5 hours to Austin? |

lived in austin for 5 years, some dope artists out there. coughNICKBAXTERcough. Probably highly unlikely that you'd get in with him though. Worth a try for a world class artist. Also SA is less than an hour and a half away depending on where your at. I used to go back and forth for the weekends in under an hour.

Not strictly traditional, but Jeff Ensminger's there, too.

I'll be on the west side of San Antonio. Nick Baxter is great but not my style. I think I may head to Rock of Ages in Austin and hope to get lucky with Steve Byrne or maybe Tony Hundahl. I've always loved Byrne so I may as well go for it. Thinkin of an armadillo and catctus filler. Something fun.

| While you're there, Uncle Billy's Brew & Que is right in the neighborhood. They've got 5-6 excellent beers and some of the best bbq in Texas. Usually a band outside on the patio, too. |

I've always liked Steve Byrne's traditional tattoos. |

I always enjoy a few beers and a nice meal after a tattoo session, thanks for the info. |

| Of course Steve Byrne was on vacation while I was down there. I didn't even make the trip up to Austin. Going back in a couple years, hope he is still there next time. |
