shooot, if your gonna do the scar thing i think you should try it out on something small and little that you can hide just in case. id hate for your back to turn out bad. it would be cool though. branding sound way better though. id personally rather be burnt than have chunks of skin cut away!

@ roxy stardust -- there are definitely some out there, but a couple stand-out strong for me. Jacci Gresham was THE FIRST Black sister to kick down the doors of the "old boys club" of tattooers. She was the first to do professional tattoos and cultivate her own studios. She's an elder now and she's been slinging ink for well over 30 years. Her home base is New Orleans (I specifically sought her out when I moved down there in the late 90s for my first piece). She lost 2 of her studios in Katrina, but she fought back hard to revive her Rampart Street studio (AART Accent Tattoo) off the French Quarter and she's still going strong. Sweet, wise woman. Great stories, great talent. She should be up there with Jack Rudy, Sailor Jerry and all the other so-called big names as an originator and pioneer. The other stand-out fave in my heart is Teresa3D. She works out of Black Orchid Tattooing in Burbank, Cali. Amaaazing artist. If you can afford a trip to see either of these women for work it's totally worth it. Here's hoping there are many more inspired sisters out there (maybe working waaay "under the radar" in our various cities). I'm gonna go and pay my yearly visit to Musink in a week or two down in OC, who knows what talent will be brewing.

New here, saying hi :)
Quick question - any of you guys have recs for tattoo artists in the NYC/NJ/Philly area? I've found a few that I like, but I always like hearing about artists that have experience with AA skin.

@ c.g i've never been "branded," but i have had a cesarean section and the smell of burning flesh was sickening for me.
