Chinese Tattoo Artist (or tattoo recommendations in general?) Hey there! I'm new to the area and hear the tattoo scene is big here. Asking as a Chinese-American, are there any tattoo artists who won't butcher a modified Chinese character tattoo? Also any advice about the tattoo scene here in general?

Don't have any tattoos myself but hear unanimous praise for [Folk City](http://folkcitytattoo.com/). There are 1 or 2 tattoo arts festivals in Hampton Roads every year: Hampton in March and Virginia Beach towards the end of summer, IIRC, not to be confused with the [Virginia International Tattoo](https://www.vafest.org/tattoo/) going on in Norfolk this weekend.
Can anyone recommend good tattoo artists in southern Virginia/northern North Carolina? I live in Clarksville, VA (not too far from the state border) and have been looking for a good shop with talented artists. Does anyone happen to have any suggestions for places to try out? Feedback would be greatly appreciated!

If you don't mind a drive to suffolk, http://folkcitytattoo.com/ Logan did a nice piece on my mother and was a great price. As soon as I get some money together I am going to see him myself, Logun restores my belief there are good artists out there and not nickel and dime shops filled with Scratchers.
