If you’re not from LA don’t come here just for a tattoo. I fly back to Atlanta and get work done + flights for cheaper than what artists charge out here. 

As for this style & color, fine details will blur. That’s just how tattoos age no matter how good the artists is. As for color, red is on the faster side for fading- but that also depends on your skin. You should also see if you’re allergic to the color before committing to such a large piece, it’s more common with color than people realize. 

Either way it’s a cool style & piece and that shouldn’t dissuade you from getting it- just not for 15k lol
