If I were some rich fuck I'd pay whatever, but for someone barely getting by it feels way better spending your little bit of cash on someone who will take a walk in and still give a good tattoo for 200 bucks than some appointment only dude.
If you say you're passing by and traveling people seem to get you in faster, too.
I'm day drinking

Like I told my last wife, I says, "Honey, I never drive faster than I can see. Besides that, it's all in the reflexes."
How does this happen!?!? Its driving me mad. I go to tattoo shops, tell the guy im looking for a style, i know it when i see it. I am not seeing it. Really, there are a lot of poor quality shops. Where does this happen ^^^!!!!???? Does it always take appointments and waiting times of months and years to get something legit? I am dumbfounded and feel like i am struggling against an all consuming tidal wave of garbage and then i see this.
serious question. can someone point me in the right direction towards a shop or a person who is accessible within a relatively short amount of time? (not a year to get tattooed)...or is this the norm. i dont know how this highbrow tattoo thing works, but im tired of trinket tattoos that arent worth a fok. souther california. anyone? please?

If you like this, book an appointment with this artist. If you have to travel then do that. Don't go to look-a-likes.

yeah, if you want quality, put in some work! do your research, be prepared to invest a shitload of cash and time, good things take time... also, that backpiece is effin killer...

Southern California has a shitload of great tattooers.
So does northern Cali, take a drive man.
As far as the tattoo you quoted, Steve works out of Vancouver and he drew up 4 body suits (summer, winter, fall, spring) and I have no idea how he decided on who was going to get them.
The body suit (although I guess its only the backside, not full on body suit) he did for spring was done on the wife of the guy who runs the tattoo shop I've been getting work done at lately, thats how I stumbled upon that other stuff.
Send an email or make a phone call when you find somebody who's work you like. If they're stoked on your idea you may even get pushed up to the front of their waiting list if its something they've been wanting to tattoo really bad but can't find a candidate to wear it.
most people who tattoo, suck.
cats like that are the huge minority. 1 in 5,000.
do your research.
theres tons of good tattooers in california.
you WILL have to wait.
accept that.
look, we'll cross the "hesh accidentally shot himself in the ass" bridge when we come to it. no homo
*BLACK OUT POSSE*
I have a sleeve from Steve, it took me approx. 3 years to get in, but once you're in you won't regret it. Steve is not only a great artist but a very humble guy.
I have seen all the "seasons" back pieces Steve has done and they are all top shelf.
I think he has a few of them posted on his instagram.
Quality is worth the wait.
I hope to start a rib/leg piece with Steve in the fall.
Steve was telling me he gets about 1500 emails a month requesting tattoos and he only takes on about 30-40 new projects a year so if you want a Steve Moore tattoo you better have a great idea and a good chunk of skin.
