Default Tattoo Shop?

Well, I am looking to go with yet another tattoo. There are 2 places I usually get my tat's done at. Spider's in Berwyn (Moved shop over 100 miles away). And Brother E's in Downers Grove. Went to Brother E's last night and their prices are thru the damn roof. So I am looking for other places that do good work and don't charge an arm and a leg.

Screw Jad Dragon, Rising Phoenix don't mention them

It is actually Rockdale, not Rock Island.

They do really good work. They were the ones that pierced Tony's dick.

I know it's a ride for you, but there's a good place in Champaign called Altered Egos. If you are ever in the area, check them out. I got a whole shoulder piece done with six colors for $300. "Stump" is guy I'd recommend, plus he rides a drag 'Busa on spray.

I got one done at the zone. Mine was good...I've heard a few others complain about them, but I really have no issues at all. There's Pores of Color in Frankfort, they did a really nice job on my cousin's tattoo.
