Graven Image in mtn view is good (a bunch of my friends have good work from them). If you're 16 and you want a good reputable and clean shop to do the work, you're gonna need to get your parents to go with you.

guys at temple are good with that stuff. did both my old roomates sleeves and they were almost all religious pieces. Including a bible verse in a scroll. dope.

What verse?

yeah take a parent with you and you'll be all good.
choose carefully. Think it over.

go see clint in petaluma, at the eye-spy. he is always featured in magazines and does not charge more than the average artist. he does some amazing things.
