Finally got my SG tattoo...and the damned thing got cellulitis. Three tats from the same guy, and two got infections. Out of the six I have, he did three, and two got infected.
NOT a good ratio or track record. He's a good artist, but after doing some asking around, I've heard some really bad infection stories about the place.
On the plus side, Lifetime Member! Yay!

Yeah you really must be wary. Some artists do great artwork and do work that looks good. But some don't sterilize well and some don't tattoo well, and by that I mean poking too many holes in the skin (by going to many times over a skin spot). I was tattood 4 time by one artist, and I realized that three out of the 4 times, my tattoos healed badly. I have twelve tattoos and all the other ones healed well...so...yep...be carefull people

It's healing now; I'm on two different antibiotics. I'm just hoping that it's not TOO damaged....it's bad enough getting fine detailed work retouched; it's worse taking the pics of the original, and asking someone else "can you fix this".
