Anyone that can't wait 3 months for a great tattoo that will be in your for life does not deserved one :ilied:

Tbh 3 month wait for an artist is nothing. A lot of local artist already has 3 month waiting list. And 3 month is plenty of time to plan your trip etc.

Realistically an artist on the caliber of Niki you are lucky if I can get in at 3 month. I'm thinking at least a 6month to a year wait

Wait a few years. You'll be old enough to get one without parents permission, and might be able to tell what a shit tattoo looks like by then ;)

any recommendations fro arabic script tattoo locally

Jesse Strong at STC is known for his script work. If you can provide the script he can ink it I'm sure.

If you find one ... let me know ... I have been hunting as well. Money isn't a consideration if the work is flawless. It took me years to learn to write in Arabic-Farsi and calligraphy is something I will never be able to learn. I'd like somebody that has some experience. Have been looking since late-2013.

Getting ready for a long session of tatoo
 

I recommend not too much fluid. going to the toilet during the session is a hassle.

Good thread, I've gotten a number of pieces done by Andrew Warren, however he has decided to go out and move to St John's, Newfoundland for family reasons.
Been on the look out for a new artist, however finding the quality in this city leaves much to be desired.
Might very well opt to take some day trips out to Seattle for sessions instead.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions for an artist or shop in Portland? Thinking of getting one down there this Summer.

I believe Jeff gouge is in Portland. Good luck getting an appointment and I heard he charge 400-500$ and hr
