I have one who did my first… now anyone coulda done mine because it is very sweet and simple but i still made sure he could do at least that ya know lol. I only use him for certain ones I want only because he specializes in that particular style…. my next couple ones im getting ima use another guy who is known for his wrk around my town and is really good at oceanic scenes and very good with sugar skulls. So i think if you know different artists that are good, you always hear fantastic reviews about him/her , view their work coming from these fantastic reviews and see that they are good enough to do your next tattoo then go for it… its not like your cheating on the other artist lol your branching out for more styles and such.

wow i never heard of artists being like that. it makes sense tho i can see some artists being like that just never heard of it actually happening. hmph crazy i think. i think its good having multi styles of work on one canvas… makes it just as interesting and unique.

good luck… do you have lot of studios in your area? where are you exactly?

Exactly 😀

if your regular artist cant or wont do a particular requested style then it is not disrespectful to go elsewhere, it only gets touchy with some artists if one artist has started a piece and then you go to another artist to get it finished…ie.. you have had the outline and part of the fill or shading done by one person and want another to finish it off, thats when they many a time say they wont touch it, but if the last piece was completed and then you want to add to it for say a sleeve then that aint so bad and should not be a problem.

after all, you are a walking gallery, and what you display on the walls is upto you 😀

change of scenery and new conversations and such. i know what ya mean.

Yes I like that analogy I am in fact going to be a gallery LOL I agree though my artist all be it my first is amazing but if he couldnt do what I wanted I would go elsewhere in fact he is such a cool guy he would probably advise me on a good artist to go to:)
