POC tattoo shop recommendations? I've been having trouble finding a tattoo artist for a BLM tattoo idea I have. Does anyone know any artists I can reach out to?
Edit* I just want to clarify for those out there with privileges I don't have, every tattoo I've gotten in the Pacific Northwest there's been a swastika inside the shop. I would really like if I didn't see that when I got a tattoo that makes me feel empowered as a black man. Also, tattooing on black skin is different than white skin the same way cutting black hair is different than white hair. Just hoping I can find a shop that's accommodating to those needs. Thank you to anyone interested in actually helping me!

Hi /u/AlphaSunday Checkout [Black sparrow tattoo shop](http://blacksparrowtattooseattle.com/galleries/) I also highly recommend Chris greenwald or anyone [Super Genius](http://www.seattle-tattoos.com/) [Dzul tattoo](https://www.dzul.com/) They are all welcoming and inviting per my friends recommendations. I can't vouch for their skills tattooing on Black skin but I figure it's a start in terms of quality. Wish you the best.

Go up to Seattle and see Damon Conklin at his shop, Super Genius Tattoos. He’s world famous and an incredibly cool guy. http://www.seattle-tattoos.com/
IM looking for a reputable tattoo parlor. Doesn't have to be in MV. I want a clean, friendly establishment who will work patiently with me on creating an amazing design from the random ideas I have in my head.

Highly recommend Damon at Super Genius Tattoo on Capital Hill. He puts on the Seattle Tattoo expo. Might be expensive and tough to get into....but there is a reason for that. :). http://www.seattle-tattoos.com
