Vikings are all the rage lately. Methinks it may be a response to the recent attacks on masculinity in this country and other parts of the world, but as an apolitical business, we certainly don’t take that stance officially, it’s just an observation. What do you think? We’ve done a lot of Spartan and Viking-themed tattoos over just the last couple of years and that trend is showing no signs of slowing down, maybe that’s a sign of pushback? Who knows, we just think this tattoo is totally rad.

Consistency in execution is of the utmost importance, especially in tattooing. If you have an artist that can do well but occasionally kicks out a stinker, then you really run the risk of getting that stinker. Don’t do that to yourself. Find someone with a portfolio of high-level and highly consistent work, and get what you want. It’s certainly better than saving a few bucks to fan the stink off that turd you just got for cheap!
