Dude, just spray paint your face and call it a day. At least go to someplace that reputable and that you can sue if it gets infected. You'll never be able to find the people from the gathering, and you have no real way of knowing how clean their shit is. They might have the best of intentions, but since you're gonna have this forever, splurge a little bit on yourself. Nothing looks worse than a tattoo that looks like it was done in prison when it wasn't done in prison.

I am new to this area and with all the tattoo shops around, I was hoping for a few recommendations from the fam to assist in narrowing down my search.

I WANT to, but I have never saved the money for it.

 

do NOT get your first tattoo at a festival, you will regret it

 

Do your research, find a good artist who knows what they are doing and remember

 

good tattoos are not cheap, but cheap tattoos are not good

go to a shop.  

a nice, clean shop, with talented and knowledgeable artists who dont use the word, 'tat'.  

where they will invariably charge you a lot of money.  

money which is well spent, considering youre talking about an image that is permanently embedded into your flesh.  

  

whenever i do get my first tattoo, you can bet it will not be on the side of a dirt trail, with drunken juggalos walkin by, throwin water balloons and poop dollars at me.

When I got mine I waited until the last night during the main stage and then didn't get soaked during ICP.  Then after their set i went back to my site, covered the bitch with a paper towel with a bit of A&D ointment the ninja who inked me hooked me up with (again why its better if its not some random ninja youve never met doing your shit) and some medical tape.  Normally Ida let it breathe a bit longer, but an open wound at the gathering did not seem too appealing.  I lost some ink but nothing that wasn't touch upable by our in house Tattoo guy here in VA.  If anyone is fixing to try this I hope it helps you keep yourself from getting infected, but the main point is don't do it until you've got the gathering down to a science or  ia strong possibility youll regret it.

i think there was a booth for free tats.one year i went garrettesville but line was too long like a day wait

@garrettsville you could stand in line for a free tattoo but that idea was scrapped because of the long ass lines im guessing...they havent done it in years...maybe it will come back with more power available in Missou...but I doubt it.  At Cave in Rock prices were shop comparable unless you know a ninja...

Do one experience at a time...its better that way.

I have some homies that are big into tattoos that might be going, and I was just wondering for personal knowledge. But for all of you Sage-alo's who have the knowledge of many years at the gathering: are there actually any decent artists there? What are the prices like? Anywhere I can see some of the work that has been done?

I got a milenko on my shoulder a few years back...but we knew the ninjas who were doing it so he did mine for 20 bucks...The last year I went the people I knew were gone...but there were differnt ones in the dark forest that had more official looking trailers...but they said the minimum was 50.  I wouldn't advise getting ink there though its easy for it to get dirty and infected if you forget to take care of it.  @piggofdoom do you have any ink?
