How does one go about finding a reputable tattoo artist in LA? Do you have to wait for ever to get someone who really knows what they're doing? I don't know anything about this but am seriously considering getting one.

600$ is a more than ample budget for the size you're going for with a talented artist. i go to Taka Tamada at www.bodyelectrictattoo.com on melrose. the guy is a jack of all tats and has great range and execution. i get stopped on the daily for my tats by him, and have sent plenty of people his way that were stoked with their pieces. if color didnt matter www.jamesspencerbriggs.com/tattoos.html is a black and grey god. he's pricey though.
