Reputable Tattoo Parlor?
Mine is on my right outside ankle. I have three roses with vines connecting them. I have had mine for about 10 years so it could use some color touchups.
I got mine at a small place in Joliet, they are closed. Sorry I can not help you in a good location.
Just make sure the place is clean, clean disposable needles, etc.

Biscuit, I have a couple of tattoos. My latest being on my left outside ankle. It is a rose with a banner across the bottom with my hubby's name in it and an ankle bracelet around it of vines. It is absolutely gorgeous! I had it done at JADE DRAGON by George Pappas. Everyone has their own opinion and favorite place to go. I highly recommend JADE DRAGON! They have done all of mine and my husband's tattoos and I have never been disappointed!
As you can see, everyone has their own favorite when it comes to who puts on their ink.
My best advice is to make sure you are completely comfortable with the artist and ask to see all of their work, not just the flash on the walls of the parlor. If you go to someones shop and you do not feel right, turn around and walk out.
Go and watch them work in their parlor a few times. See how clean they are and how they treat the customers.
Talk to them to be clear on what you want and what you expect. Get to know their style and what they are good at.
Best of luck,
Miss Avery
