[chrishiggins]

Hello all first thred. my name is chris higgins i am a eugene oregon tattoo artist just started about a year ago in this shop black magic tattoos our web site is www.blackmagictats.com. or look me up on face book to see my newer tattoos i been doing.

well this post is about promoting my self what would you guys recomend i am a good artist and my work is getting better every tattoo i do alot of cover ups from the tattoo shops around. there is a few shops around doing good work but there is not many most do crapy stuff. my boss does radio starting this week and the web site. i have my facebook with alot of my friends and client that helps alot. we also pass out flyers with 20% off. it works but i want to get my name out there more. the clients going to the other s&!tty shops around i do not think know any better. goal is to be the go to guy around town. i sending off to the magazines soon to get published will be nice but for the general clients i do not think they look at who did the tattoos in the magazines they just think oh pretty tattoo next page lol.

artist look and like oh bad ass who did that one lol. so just trying to get some more ideas of promoting for my self and ways to get my name out there more. thanks for your time guys
