Any decent fine line artists northern suburbs in Cape Town? Looking for something similar to this and I understand lettering too close will bleed together.

Both Wildfire and Metal Machine in CPT have been around forever and have great artists, they should have and be able to recommend an artist in their shops that could handle fine text.

Something I found that was interesting.

I find that an issue by hour 4 or 5 for sure. Hurts more than the needling itself. I've never done back to back days, I'd likely die. I'd rather sit one full day, get it over and done with, and then heal up and go back in 6 weeks for next full day sitting. Usually 8 until 5pm, obviously with short breaks in between and a longer break for lunch.

Famous last words @SAguy , I just paid deposit to confirm booking for 2nd and 3rd February 2021 to finish my sleeve

Look for minimal tribal. Or minimal geometric. You may like what you find.

Yep, still going, just moved shop physical location. Derek is an institution in CPT tattoo scene still I'd reckon? IG account for interest's sake.

Shouldn't the idea be your own? Since it's your body?

Idea can not be valid unless tested with comments

I cannot get a tattoo.
I don't think I like one design long enough, plus I'm 40 so by now it's something I can enjoy seeing and appreciate
