I often tell my better half, if the day comes that I start acting negative and miserable about everything and everybody, like I so often see on here, to please put me out of my misery.
So many nonsense (and often negative) opinions about tattoos, smokers, whether we wear shorts or not in the winter, which restaurants suck and why, golf cart traffic enforcement..and on and on..
There, I've shared my thoughts too, and behaved like so many others...jeesh.
(Sorry dad, I didn't listen this time)
Uh, no Idea where a good place is to get a tattoo, but hey..go for it! Great idea regardless of what your neighbors and "friends" on here think. Live your life and enjoy it till it hurts. I for one, do not judge people based on the color of their tattooed skin.

I have to agree, so I'll answer the question raised by the OP first. I really like Stan's Tattoos in Daytona Beach. He is an artist and did my first tattoo almost 20 years ago. He's still in business today and my tattoo still looks great.
Now I'll chime in on the negative comments regarding tattoos: If you don't want 'em, don't get 'em. If you don't like seeing them, don't look.
Finally I'll raise a question: Why would you pre-judge anybody for any reason? Some of the kindest, most intelligent people I know have tattoos and some of the biggest dirtbags I have ever met do not. Pre-judging someone for having a tattoo is akin to pre-judging someone based on their religion, where they come from, or what kind of car they drive (I left out the color of someone's skin because there is no choice in that). The word "prejudge" is the root of the word prejudice, something the world needs a lot less of. Why would anyone knowingly want to be prejudiced? My momma always told me, "never judge a book by its color" and I've tried to live by this creed for all of my life.
