Tattoos,
by Brent McCown
Tattoos have always been an expensive thing to collect, so you want to make sure the tattoos you are paying good money for are of the best possible quality.
If you are getting tattooed by Brent McCown then you can draw comfort from the fact that you are being tattooed by someone who has won several awards and has recently been voted by an international panel of experts as one of the world’s best tattooists.
He is in high demand so you need to book ahead, as he is quite often working the international tattoo conventions, you will need to find out when he is coming to a country near you. To find out, your best bet is to add him as a Myspace friend and ask, or check his tour dates.
