When your kid informs you that he's now legal and going for a tattoo, don't freak out, and just…read morecalmly suggest this place. In fact, offer to help pay for it. Because even if you don't agree with him or her making one of life's irrevocable decisions at such a tender age, you can at least ensure that the result will be beautifully rendered. Tony and Tim are master artisans and fine artists. In fact, Tony taught studio art for eight years at Vassar. For them, it's a collaboration; they're proud of their work, and they don't do ugly. They ask that you be thoughtful about your choice, and they'll adjust so that the outcome is something of which you'll both be proud for as long as you inhabit your skin. Their lines are insanely fine, like those in a Rembrandt etching. I can't emphasize enough how absolutely stand out their work is against what you usually see around the Hudson Valley. Also, you'll get good advice to make sure it lasts. In my son's case, they advised against his late summer timeframe: the sweat, discomfort and healing process don't work in longevity's favor, so he did it over Thanksgiving break instead. I have no idea how their price compares to other shops but as the parent who reticently gifted this to her child, I can say that I'm really happy I steered him here.
