I live in Massachusetts, where tattoos are very expensive. In New Hampshire they are much cheaper, so I’m planning to get my little hip tattoo done there. How do I find the right place for me? Will tattoo artists be able to take my own design and apply it on my skin?

On LA Ink, one of the workers told the new girl that is was a tattoo shop not a tattoo parlor, so I want to know what the difference is?
