Default Tattoo Parlor Suggestions?

I want to get a tattoo tonight but I don't want to go back to Jade Dragon because it was damn expensive. They did a good job though.

Any suggestions on tattoo parlors that have the same quality as Jade Dragon but just a little cheaper?

I was just going to reply with "Jade Dragon."

However, I think when you are looking at a permanent addition to your body, the cheaper you go the better.

There should be a few around the Diversey/Clark/Belmont/Sheffield/Broadway area.

I don't have a sketch but I have an idea of what I want. I want a tiger in a crawling/prowling position on my left shoulder blade. I want it in a tribal style in black.

I heard of Tattoo Factory and Chicago Tattoo. How did you like Tattoo Factory?

Nice.

I also have a dragon, but it is not traditional, and it is full color.

I like it there. I mean, the area isn't the best but the work of art they do is awesome. I dont recall the price i paid for my tattoo but I believe it was fairly reasonable.


And Jade Dragon does cost a grip. Went there once to look and never went back.
