So...I've been wanting to get a tattoo for a long time. Unfortunately I really have no idea about who's a good tattoer and who not, and what to look for.

A friend of mine has been to Italy recently and they found this guy right here:  www.unopercento.com

What do you all think??Is he any good?I think I kinda like his style..

Re: What do you all think of this style here?

Get something that is unique to you.  I LOVE cows, even though I'm a city girl through and through. My first tattoo was a small cartoon (very very cute) cow, on my lower back with a daisy by her feet. My 2nd was sorta a souvenir, a mardi gras mask below my hip/pelvic bone (when wearing low cut jeans, just the tip sticks out) that I got while in New Orleans. I made them draw up one just for me, wanted nothing "preset" from the wall etc. So far I have never met anyone with anything even close. Well other than my best friend who got a yellow smiley face wearing a mardi gras mask, while we were down there. LOL

Be yourself...... Everyone else is taken!

Re: What do you all think of this style here?

FairyGirl, by line work i mean any part of the piece which is made up of lines. say  the outside line of the fairy wing or the line that makes up the arm or the face. depending on what the line is part of there will be a certain thickness and that should be a continuing same width.you don't want the artist going over the line again and again. because the skin will be overworked and  damaged.ya see what i mean? from looking at the pieces this shop has put out and the fact that your friend has been there and vouches for the cleanliness, i don't think you've got much to worry about.good luck on that journey...juliek

Re: What do you all think of this style here?

Ah thanks for the explanation Juliek now I understand!Yeah I can see too that the lines are all about the same thickness and the skin isn't too red. Well, I'm getting more and more excited over this..he might just be the one lol

Re: What do you all think of this style here?

my daughter is a tattoo artist so i have looked at alot of work in her magazines, etc., and this unopercento shop has some beautiful pieces. when looking for the right person and place to change your body forever, it is important to check the shop for cleanliness. look at other pieces the artist has done, and particularly look at the line work in the piece. usually a pic is taken right after the work is finished, so you should see some redness, but if the skin is overworked with the needle, it will be extra red and sore looking. do you plan on going to this shop in italy? make sure the tattooer is using clean needles and gives you in depth aftercare instructions. good luck on your choice...juliek

Re: What do you all think of this style here?

My friend said the hygiene was absolutely flawless. So I guess that should not be a problem, I hope. 

What do you mean with the "line work" in the piece? Sorry I'm a tattoo-newbie Smiling

Yes I do plan on going there, I am planning a vacation in Italy anyways!

Re: What do you all think of this style here?

I like that one!  I want something similar in design/size, but I LOVE butterflies...problem is, it seems that a LOT of people have the butterfly incorporated into their lower back tats.  I want to be somewhat "different"....LOL

Re: What do you all think of this style here?

I think there's some really neat looking stuff on there. Some of it is very minimalistic, and has a decidedly feminine feel to it.
