Good looking y'all.
I was thinking of going to my original Tat guy back in Chicago, @pkrolartist on IG at Krol Body Art. Just would need to travel back and forth to complete it or try and get it during the Summer and take a week of Vacation off.
Any other shops/Artist y'all recommend in Miami

Going to Miami in a few days and booked an appointment with @fatt_macc. Being that it will be my first tattoo, I was wondering if most tats need to be 'touched up' once they are completed?
I'll be flying back to NY the following day

Yeah i DM'd his personal ig page and i sent 2 texts msgs to his personal cell phone posted on his ig acct. I kind of dont want to drive out 1hr one way just to finally speak with him either.

In my personal opinion you gotta be straight to the point and contact them with professionalism. Tell them exactly what you want and where you'd like the piece and include reference photos. Nikko and Jun cha both got back to me within a few days. If you've done all above maybe they just aren't feeling it.

Also be persistent. These guys get thousands of emails a day so maybe it was overlooked.

Damn really want Chinese calligraphy done by Joey Pang at Tattoo Temple in HK but $4,500 minimum for 5 hours and 2 year wait sounds ridiculous for a simple piece.
Anyone know any other artists?

Yeah i might just call his cell or even the shop. I tagged him with his own photo he posted on IG saying i wanted something similar in a different area so all i need to know is his rate and booking wait time.

Seriously, the best artists shouldn't be chargin this much (I'm assuming $4500 USD?) . You can get the same quality or near the same for half the price if you do your research.
I got Steve Butcher at $1000 (New Zealand dollars) per full day session. $4500 is highway robbery.
