Pumpkin … works looks clean, but certainly nothing exceptional out of any of these guys.
Redemption … better than Pumpkin, though again, nothing phenomenal. Also, it looks like virtually all traditional work, which your phoenix is not.
Stingray … I only went through the first 5 artists. Definitely not impressed with these guys.
With all of the fantastic artists in New England, there’s definitely no need to settle. Pretty much anyone at Off the Map could do better than any of the guys at all 3 of those shops.

Off the Map is on the other side of the state, and without a car there’s no way I could get there.
I have about 1000 to my name and that’s going towards the tattoo. I’d rather find something somewhat in the area or reachable by subway than blow a chunk of the money on car rentals or cab fair.
OK, I can understand that, considering that I ate ramen noodles about 3x a day while I was in college. However, $1K for an entire back piece doesn’t seem terribly realistic if you want a good artist anyway. You kind of put yourself in a pickle here. Has anyone provided you with an estimate of what it would cost to do that whole thing? Maybe ask Lynch at Redemption if he could transform it into a traditional piece and see what it would cost.
Might be none of my business but… If you are a poor college student it seem’s a bit stupid spending all your money on fixing your tattoo. Yes get it fixed BUT the tattoo isn’t going to go anywhere just get it done when your a bit better off with money when your in a full time job for example 🙂
Just seem’s like the more common sense thing to do considering the tattoo isn’t going to go anywhere :)….. Saying that what would i know i have “white boy” on the side of my finger 😉

I’m glad I was sitting down for this…Wardy did you just offer sound tattoo advice based on common sense?! I’m impressed but also a little confused…c’mon you have a reputation to uphold, you wouldn’t want to blow that now, would you? 😀
Just kidding of course, actually good advice. If you’re not financially ready for the investment, maybe it’s better if you wait. Only you know where you’re at though, just plan your priorities accordingly.

haha 😛 thanks man 😎
I know this may sound weird but I’m not looking for the worlds greatest back piece. I’m not a tattoo enthusiast, I just want a good looking phoenix that won’t cost me an arm and a leg. I’m not trying to impress anyone with a spectacular tattoo, I just want to be happy with it myself. And for that I don’t think I need an entire new cover up, I think a big adjustment will do.
