Myachi,
Thanks for the advice! I am working on a very large piece comprised of numerous smaller pieces that are all symbology from runes and older deeper symbols! They will be connected by single lines and all will branch off the pentagram on my right side! Yeah, ink link is still there and they have one in Gastonia as well. I am not really looking to go to an artist again though besides my gf. I need to get the ink so she can get a good feel of the guns on human skin, but I am confident she will do ok. Funny, the other day she met a “tattoo artist” who told her that she needed to pay at least $1500 – $2000 per gun if she wanted to take tattooing seriously! I found that humourous! Thanks for your post! Take care!
