Dave is a great Artist! My husband, our daughter and I have all had tatoos done by Dave...not only is he a great artist...he also understands when a break is needed or if he needs to move from one spot (that may be getting a bit too sore) to another area. This might not be pertinent to you tough men and women but for people who have never gotten a tattoo before or if they are sensitive to pain...this is a GREAT plus! If your interested in utilizing Dave's phenomeonal abilities...you best hurry...rumor has it that he is moving west very soon. Good Luck!
