Check out yelp. there are some shops/artists that have phenomenal ratings but have a 6 month waiting period.

It would help if you posted what style tattoo you're looking to get, and maybe a picture of your unfinished work. Most of the top artists will be very reluctant to finish someone else's art; can't the original artist finish the work?

aren't there 3 or 4 of these threads. Do a search. You questions will be answered.

Bottom line... best shop depends on what style you want and opinion.

I for one have plans to get my next 2 tattoos from two different artists in santa cruz. After that I have a couple more planned for one dude in particular and I'm looking for a missing piece of artwork and an artists for one more. Basically have the next few years already planned out as one dude has a 2 year waiting list... though I can probably get in in sooner.
