Princeton Printing space
FYI: Apparently a tattoo parlor has expressed interest in the Princeton Printing space. (This from a zoning board notice on an upcoming hearing.) Nice addition that fits the Davis vibe, yes?

That's shady as hell, and even though it was a while ago, I'd personally rather take my business to another shop that hasn't ever demonstrated that kind of shadiness.

i don't know if owen still works at chameleon but when i couldn't get to my regular piercer (joseph yglesias of evolution in providence) to have a seamless lip ring put in, he was nice and did things by the book at least. that place is CRAZY overpriced though, in addition to being just downright lame once you've known good artists and shops.

What's "the Davis Vibe?"

Mick's like the opposite of what most people would look for in a tattoo artist - he's OK at designing custom stuff, not amazing but OK, but if you give him clear source material he is a total technical geek about it and can crank out fine detail in like no time at all. He was honest about how bad it was gonna be when I got work done in a really painful area to tattoo. He's also honest about his limitations - he sent Sean's sister to another studio/artist (I forget which) when she requested something he didn't think they could do at Pino's. Turned out like 3 different studios couldn't figure out how to do it right, but he was super up-front about it and cared more about her work than his income. I love that.
Nick @ Dragon's Lair is who I last saw, though, and I looooooved him, extremely fast and a light hand. My blackwork was almost totally healed in like a week.

I've seen work he's done on keloid-prone people and it looks good, too. I hate to sound like an ad, but I'm not gonna reign in praise for a really worthwhile artist.
