Tattoo Artists I Like... Inspired by Lone_Wolf's "Tattoos! WTF!?" Thread
Call.Me.Ishmael
Rhode Island
I did one of these threads a while ago when the usual suspects were whinging about tattoos on dancers.
Anyway, here's a selection of tattoo artists that I like. It's obvious that I lean towards black and grey over bright color artists.
I'm not going to win over any haters, but perhaps correct some misconceptions about the level of work that's available. I'm a solidly middle aged man with many tattoos, and I'm picky about what I get and from who.
Whereas, most of what you see in strip clubs does not represent the pinnacle of tattoo artistry.

Perhaps more effective if incorporated into a red cross or medical symbol, or spelled out completely.
So, if the concept art isn't their cup of tea (for whatever reason), they'll take a pass. They'll also take a pass if the style isn't in their wheelhouse. I wouldn't take a woodcut tattoo concept to an artist known for bright, full color anime / cartoon-style tattoos, because that artist would (rightfully) show me the door.
Don't look for the best tattoo artist in X area. Look for the best artist in that particular style, then see if that person can recommend someone in your region.

I'd be pissed if this one gave me a tattoo. She really fucked up on one of those tats.
Her tattoo had a guy with 4 eyes. That's worse than a 6th toe or 2 left feet.
