Go where you feel comfortable. Nothing more, nothing less. If it takes a drive 4 hours north, then that is where u go.

Anything less and one of these days you will second guess your decision.

I have 7 now, and every one I have been comfortable with my artist. These days I am lucky enough to have a guy whom I trust implicitly.

When you get to a point where you can place that kind of trust to your artist, the rest is easy, until you get to that point, you will be asking questions.

In short, find someone you can rely on, and go there. No matter what it takes. You live with these decisions for the rest of your life.

Hope that didnt come off too serious, but there is really nothing more serious than a crappy tattoo you are stuck with for the next 40-60 years.
