Best Tattoo Artist Was a Good Choice

Dear Editor,
Re: “Questions About Best Tattoo Artist” [“Postmarks,” Sept. 11]: Marisha, thanks for your opinion; everyone has one. It is obvious that your opinion does not match the majority. Karen Slafter is more than a flash tracer. She is an artist who always puts her own special touch into her work. I have many tattoos by Karen and some by others in the Austin area, and the only ones that I am ever asked about or complimented on are those from Karen. The others I have are good work too, but Karen’s work is a step above the others. If you are in Austin and you want true custom art (not just a flash trace), then I would suggest booking with Karen. I recently went in with just a concept of what I wanted, and her creation is so much better than I could have imagined. That is a sign of a true artist!
