I’ve been tempted before but have never pulled the trigger on getting a tattoo. But I know that if I ever decide I want to make it happen there are lots of talented tattoo artists here in East Texas, and specifically here in Tyler, Texas, that do a great job. Recently in the ‘All Things Tyler’ group on Facebook someone asked where to go for a good tattoo at a fair price and there were lots of suggestions on where to go for a tattoo.
