[MdR Dave]

OK, you know you're inked up. What's the best parlor in LA?

[Mayrah]

LA Colors is the best:p

Do they have Hello Kitty? If not, I'm going to have to go for something permanent . . .

Seriously, though- anyone have an opinion?

The best shop in LA? That's a tough question.
There are many great shops,the best thing to do is go visit some shops you are interested in and check out the photo albums of the artists.
If you are a seasoned tattoo collector that's old news.
I had some work done at the old Sunset Strip in Hollywood and the work was great.
Gregg James is top notch. I'm pretty sure he owns the place now.

Gregg is awesome. I don't know who else works there atm. Juan Puente works at Bob Roberts' place, and is as cool a guy as he is a tattooer and machine builder. Not that you probably need a tattoo machine but... lol

You look like a damn fine endorsement for whoever did yours, Nicole.

Who did yours, if you don't mind being asked, that is?

I never imagined I'd say anything remotely close to this: Thank you, cheesenuts!

And welcome aboard.

I'll skip my usual routine on your intro thread.

Thanks, Ms. Dupre. Rhe website is nice- and the owner- with Zappa and the New York Dolls, not to mention the others? Talk about cred. . . that's punk!

Big names don't mean much these days. There are holes in walls all over the world with great artists. Just do a little research, most likely you won't even end up at a well know place. And most books in lobbies are loaded with bullshit flash you would probably do better asking the artists themselves where they got their work done or to see their personal portfolio,that is unless you want a Tasmanian devil or Betty Boop.

[MdR Dave]

Betty Boop.

Who told you?

Good point- Nicole and cheesenuts were also focused in the artists it seems.

Damn, it's just FUNNY to say cheesenuts!

Tag, anyone? Cheesenuts is "it"!
