Ok...I know I'm probably going to regret starting this thread, but I need some help. Many who know me, know that come Thursday I will be leaving on a road trip with my mom and my sister. We will be leaving from South Carolina and travelling up the east coast to Cape Cod and NYC. Country coming to town, doesn't even begin to cover it...lmao.

Anyway, my sister and I have decided to each get another tat on the trip. So here's my question...or my favor...whichever. Is there anyone here, who lives along the route who can recommend a good tattoo place. I'm very finicky about my tats, preferrring artists who freehand their work and colors that do not appear cartoonish. I also like clean, professional shops...not going to walk into a rat hole.

Any advice or suggestions would be helpful since we are both completely unfamiliar with the area.

 

That's a bit out of my way, sully, you gonna pay for the gas if I ...ummm....pay you back later?

 

ROFLMAO....you didn't even ask where it's going!:twisted:

 

An old partner of mine works in a shop in Columbia SC. His name is Shane Anderson. The shop is Animated Canvas Custom Tattoos. Here is the contact info for him.
1209 Park Street, Columbia, SC‎, (803) 758-6002‎. They are a mile or two off I-95.

 

Thank you so much Twisted...I'll check it out.

 

Damn...Thanks Twisted...just checked out their website, and I really like their work....your boy Scott appears to do exactly what I'm looking for.

 

Sorry to burst your bubble, but downtown Columbia is nowhere near I-95 more like 2 hours from there.

 

Is quite alright OU812, since my trip will actually BEGIN in Columbia.:excited:

 

Damn what a relief this was. :excited: Here I was thinking that you were going to solicit sex along the way..... :excited: :twisted:

 

Ha! I've already set up my boytoys via pm's

 

There is a good one on the A435 opposite the Kings Head pub. Spear Studios run by three women.

Pity it is in the middle of Birmingham and so far out of your way.:excited:

 

Yes...sullygom mentioned another that was quite off my path...hehehe

 

My advice while in Columbia, SC:

No matter HOW BADLY you might be tempted to cut down the flag in front of their statehouse and set it on fire, don't do it! It REALLY annoys the locals. :excited:

And they're armed...!

 

umm maybe you should tell us who they are so we can give them some much needed advice.....:excited:

 

I'm a vet myself, KN...so that would REALLY annoy me too

Nope...you'll just have to hear about my sexual antics when I return...lmao

 

Well I suppose the best thing to do is put out an purple alert along the atlantic coast......"BEWARE" she is coming through your area.....

 

I strongly doubt you're a vet of the army they're saluting!

 

If you already have some tats, why not go back to the shop you have already used? There are a couple in VA that are good, but too far away from 95. So where exactly are you going to put the tat...and are you going to display it upon your return for our viewing pleasure?

 

Well maybe you can stop in and cut it down yourself...or better yet, carry your ass above the Mason Dixon and don't return. I mean, Michigan is such a lovely place.
