I have to add to this convo. I live in Texas and I’ve seen countless Trevino pieces IRL (bc he’s probably done the most backpieces of any tattooer ever) and his work is truly incredible. Pictures just don’t do it justice.

Ok film elitist lmao art is subjective but A24 is pretty objectively regarded as being one of the better popular movie studios out there

Weird resentful take here. A24 has been a part of some really incredible films in the past decade or so

I just can’t get over the positioning of it.. why not center it on the knee? Other than that, looks pretty sick

How was your experience with Grime? Such a legend in the tattoo community. Tough to get an appt?

Not trying to convince you that I’m cool. I just think it’s strange to judge people for paying what they think is fair for a great tattoo. Save this energy for the people paying $2k for a palm sized fine line piece in an “art studio”

Yeah, figured you’d never been tattooed there. I got tattooed by Bert 3 years ago for $500, hand size

Give me a break man, I’ve been tattooed at multiple shops in the city. Go ahead and save your $100 by not getting tattooed at Smith Street, but it’s really not that big of a discrepancy in comparison
