ive gotten a couple small silly ones at Scorpion Ink, never super expensive and Curtis and Oso have never done me wrong

I'd recommend against getting a dumb tattoo.

Silly? Sure. Goofy? Why not? Zainy? Go for it. Weird? What is weird anyway?

But not dumb.

Never get a tattoo you know you're going to regret later.

As to your actual request... I haven't gotten any ink in town, myself, but I've seen several pieces of good work that came from Ink Ink and Bearded Lady.

My wife has had a couple done at Kaleidoscope, but the artist has moved on. That said, clean and professional setting.

It's a little off your geographical request, but August at Olympus Heights in Ozark is great. He's also doing a flash art raffle you can take advantage of if you take a look at his Facebook page. It's OrbitalMucus Tattoos, this is the last day to enter the raffle

Loveless ink on Battlefield and Campbell does good stuff, including the exquisite "Danny Dorito" tat they gave some guy and have pictures of in the studio. The owners work is great and usually pretty cheap

Liberation downtown does walk-ins on Friday and Saturday. I highly recommend them!

I always go to Hearts of Fire in downtown Springfield

I'm just asking for where to get one done not asking for your opinion on it. Also you have no clue what I'm getting. I could have used literally any of the words to describe it that you said are fine.

Hey, you're the one that described the idea as dumb. I don't care what you're getting, I just wanted to warn you about regrets.
