Scratcher

A scratcher is a tattoo artist that does extremely poor, jailhouse quality tattoos—often out of their homes.

A general rule with tattoos is you get what you pay for. That means: Shop for quality, not for price. If it costs more than you can afford, save up for it.

A cheap tattoo is not good; a good tattoo is not cheap.
