Probably A Long Shot, but...

...is there anyone on MFP from the Middle Tennessee area?

Don't worry, I ask because I want to get a new tattoo and was wondering if there happened to be anyone on here from this area that could recommend a tattoo parlor. The last one I went to, I loved the artist, but he has moved further out that I want to travel.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

    If you are getting a tattoo, it's worth traveling to a good tattoo artist.

    This is true and while I agree, there is a history there that I would prefer not to rehash over a tattoo. Though I am sure that I am probably making a bigger deal than necessary, I just want to keep that door closed if at all possible.

    I don't typically, but can. Sometimes, just hearing from real people makes all the difference, especially when the decision is as permanent as a tattoo.

    Yeah. Research is important. I've seen alot of tattoos where I think the tattoo artist must of really been bad.

    And Instagram. I have found that if I have found a parlor that suits my fancy, I will look them up on IG...they use have more of their portfolio on there than any other social media outlet.

    yeah, that's a good idea too. But they filter their own instagram accounts. Reviews from other sources are good, and paired together with browsing their IG pics is probably the best you could do as far as due diligence.
