“Dear PoPville,
I was looking through the archives and it looks like the last tattoo artist rec post is pretty old; can we pop this question up there again? I have an idea formed from a watercolor flower illustration that I’d love to get tattooed, but I have no idea where to start looking for someone who can do fine line/watercolor/super colorful, etc. I’m willing to travel for the right artist, but I’d love to stay in DC or nearby if at all possible.
Thank you for considering posting, and thanks in (far) advance to the PoPulace for any recommendations!”

Do you know what happened to Aurora Market in Park View? It was a cute bodega in an area with limited grocery options. They seem to be permanently closed and now there’s a sign for a liquor store above it. (more…)
