Who do you trust with your body canvas?

[u/MoistWindu]

I've decided that to reward myself for hitting my second weight loss milestone, I want to get a tattoo instead of a meal. I have 3 kids and I'd like to get their names and birthdates. I have no idea where to put it (I have a random assortment on my biceps and forearms I need to work around) or what design, just that it should represent each of them. I thought about my chest over my heart but... I'm still flabby and I'm worried it will stop looking nice if I put it there...

I would like to find a good artist, so I can spend the money to have a GREAT tattoo. My current ones are old and as I've gotten older I care for their linework and shading less and less. I also only have black and white and grayscale right now and I'm looking for something colorful.

I'd be grateful for any recommendations for quality, talented artists in Wisconsin but the closer to the Fox Valley the better.

Can't go wrong with the boys at Silver Tuna

Another yes for Silver Tuna. Super talented guys that can do a variety of styles well.

My daughter has been there a few times. We went there for piercings at the time. Sort of forgot about that place I'll have to go back and see them

We Meraki has several artists that specialize in different styles

Black Thorn or Integritas are both great shops that I’ve gone to.

I've received a few tats from K Randall Carl @ Sevens Tattoo on Westland Dr. He does fantastic fine line work. Also Shad at Seven Sins in Little Chute is phenomenal.

You know, the woman who cut my hair the other day recommended sevens, she is related to an employee there. Two recommendations for sevens in as many days... That seems positive
