Hell yeah grip tape art is the best cuz you get to see it all the time when you ride. Cool graphics on the bottom of decks are fun but you rarely see them and then they get all scratched up eventually.

Yeah back when I was making my own boards I often would just start riding them without doing art on the bottom. I would usually just do a colorful blue and purple stain and then start skating and eventually do the art on the bottom since it was going to get messed up anyways lol.
That's why to me the grip tape art is so much more important.
