history: I am pretty happy with my tattoo artist. He is not charging me a lot work great work I am really happy with my tattoo artist. He is not charging me a lot for great work That's great.  I don't have any tattoos myself_comma_ but a lot of people I know do.  And it seems expensive.  So I'm glad he's not charging you much.
