SPIDER MURPHY'S TATTOO
TATTOO-U II
For Vallejo i say go down to Hotink 818 marin St, Vallejo Ca 707-648-2070, thats where I have gotten mine.
For San Francisco, i heard Black & Blue Tattoo also Lyle Tuttle tattooing
For San Jose, i have to say Humble beginnings, my freinds got thiers done there and for what they paid, its worth it.
depending on the style, here are a few shops i would suggest if your not trying to travel out of the city
skull and sword
blackheart
tattoo city
7th son (orly also works here from humble beginnings)
everlasting tattoo
diamond club
and there are much more. you just have to get out and go check em out. ull find the right artist if your serious about it.
Does a tattoo hurt?
There's no real answer to this question. Everyone relates to pain differently. What I CAN say is that certain parts of the body are more sensitive than other. From personal experiences and from what I've seen/heard...the neck, inner arm, chest, ribs (esp.), lower back, hands, and feet are the most sensitive areas. Everyone will experience some sort of discomfort or pain, so that debunks the people who say tattoo's do not hurt at all (bullshit)
How much does a tattoo cost?
This depends on many things such as the size, detail, amount of color, artist, etc. Most shops I know usually have a base price and/or charge per hour. Just remember, CHEAP TATTOOS AREN'T GOOD AND GOOD TATTOOS AREN'T CHEAP!
"My tattoo is fading. Do I need to get it touched up?"
Not necessarily. Tattoo's will eventually fade over time. Maybe years down the line you might want to touch it up. Consult with your artist first
How do I choose an artist?RESEARCH. DO YOUR RESEARCH. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people come in for cover ups because they didn't like the way the artist did their tattoo. Ask around. Best way of referrals are word of mouth. Also, make sure the artist has a portfolio.
How long does a tattoo take?
Once again...depends on what you want. Most reasonable sized tattoos can be done in one session/sitting but larger pieces (i.e sleeves, body suit, etc) might require multiple seatings.[/size]
- Here is a word of advice to minors - Please wait until you are 18 to get tattooed, being that most reputable shops won't even tattoo you even if you have parental consent. Why would you want to compromise when you can just wait a few more year(s) to go to any shop? The ink will stay on your body for the rest of your life so be smart about it!

NEW YORK
I usually get all my work done at Last Rites in the NYC. Best Tattoo Shop in the USA with the best tattoo artist ever who works there, Mr. Paul Booth.
They charge $225 an hour for regular artists and $300 for Paul. Paul has a 2 yr. long waiting list though.
Here's the beginning of my new sleeve. 8 hours in. Done by Little Dragon.
Top class work, worth every penny:

I just saw a few pages back somebody asking about tattoo shops in Queens...
First thing is first.. Monster Tattoo is f*cking terrible and so is every other tattoo shop in Queens.. Real talk.
The only decent, and I repeat decent shop in Queens is Red Parlor and I still wouldn't get tattooed there.
As far as getting tattooed in NYC goes.. There are only 5 shops worth going to..
In order...
1. Last Rites - Hands down the best shop NYC has ever seen. Every artist is reputable and has their own shop.
2. Tribulation Tattoo - Tim Kern is the truth.
3. Smith Street Tattoo - Awesome classic stuff.
4. Dare Devil - Terry Ribera is man.
5. Adorned - Only for guest artists, I wouldn't go to any of the resident artists.
6. East Side Ink - Bang Bang is decent.
Remember, whatever you're getting is going to be on you forever so don't go to some low budget bullshit shop.
If you're trying to get a cheap tattoo why even bother.

I skimmed through and I see a couple of decent ones but that's about it.
Word of advice to people who want to get tattoos.
1: DON'T PICK YOUR TATTOO OUT OF A DAMN BOOK. Flash tattoos never work out.
2: DO YOUR RESEARCH. Make sure you've seen the artists work and that they are familiar with the style you want.
3: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I understand names/text being cheap, but art/portraits/custom should never be cheap. The truth is, anybody can tattoo but not everybody is a tattoo ARTIST.
MOST tattooers only care about money and not about the art. They will put ANYTHING on you. F*ck, they'll put a dick on your forehead if you wanted. Those are the artists you stray from.
Real tattoos costs thousands, not hundreds.
4: Last but not least. KNOW WHAT YOU WANT BEFORE GOING

The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters.
