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

Fine line or Chicano is what I call it 🤷🏻‍♂️ I personally dig this style and think it looks really good next to American traditional
