PORTRAITS WERE MADE FAMOUS BY SUCH ARTIST AS JACK RUDY, MARK MAHONEY AND FREDDY"COYOTE"NEGRETE. NOW THERE ARE UP AND COMING PORTRAIT TATTOO ARTIST SUCH AS JOSE AND CHUY.NOT JUST ANYONE CAN DO PORTRAITS. SEARCHING FOR AN ARTIST LOOK FOR THE SKILLS NOT THE LOWEST PRICE. IF THAT FAILS CALL YOUR LOCAL TRAVEL AGENT AND COME SEE ME.
