Tattoos

I wish Jacksonville got some good guests. I never see or hear of them or know if they are even a thing.

Sorry for spamming, but I'm really excited that my backpiece is going to happen from April on. And it was awesome to see uncle allan's conspiracy inc. - an awesome huge house filled with all kinds of interesting stuff (and in the house where David Bowie and Iggy Pop lived a while). Definitely worth a visit, if you get the chance.

I feel you, I like jason donahue and holly ellis tho, but thats coming from someone who has no really traditional tattoos. I've only got work from erik jacobsen and someone that was guesting. 

 

Only other shops ive got work on were at Analog (Mutsuo, three tides, guest spot), Castro (friday the 13th $13) and Everlast (Stefan Johnnson, hes kind of a resident). Analog is a beautiful shop, more like a gallery. Castro - I wouldn't go for anything other than the $13 deal. Everlast - Cool little shop. Stefan used to be there every Friday, not sure he still does. But he;s a good option for traditional stuff.

 

Edit - Chuck Donahue is gonna be here in March I think. Not sure where. Might be up your alley

 

 

^spider murphy's in san rafael

 

 

Austin Maples though! I really like his style. Really clean traditional work.

 

 

I watch Austin Maples stuff.  It is just a good bare bones traditional it has this really tough appeal to it, almost rigid

 

 

They're doing 'get what you get/want' tomorrow by the way

 

thanks for the suggestions guys. i actually took my friend to idle hand this weekend because she wanted some ink (http://instagram.com/p/yi-Q0iBuFw/?modal=true). i actually like that piece a lot, so maybe ill consider a walk-in for something small when i'm in the area or something.

 

anyway its been a while since i posted any ink in this thread, so here's a shitty pic of a little thing i got from eli in october or november. inner bicep

does anyone know what this is called or does it just fall under 'blackwork'?

with this particular one, the line with the zig zag and the circle under the chin, i've seen that in a lot of buddhist imagery. anyone have a name for it?

^looks like a lot of what guy does, and he told me he's "only doing Tibetan" stuff now so.. for whatever thats worth.. 

[teeo]

ya, those are all guy's pics but i've seen lots of other blackwork artists utilise that 'design'. 

[Marw]

Just started planning my chest piece with an artist I haven't used before! Really looking forward to it. It won't until late summer early fall though!

[imsinking]

Got an appointment set up with Sara Fabel doing a blackwork leg piece in April. Way excited

[Moriarty]

i might be missing something here, but are there any really good trad artists in the bay area? hopefully i'm just not aware of them, but i'm really missing the ny guys right now. quinters, boltz, cross, even hillary... any suggestions?

idk if anyone got to you yet, but warhorse in berkeley is fantastic.

^ i got my first "real" tattoos at warhorse by paul bosch. He's no longer there i believe, but steve campisi is amazing imo as well. However i don't really recall the shop being a destination for american trad style stuff..

 

 

 

Also- i may have asked this before, but suggestions for best b/w portraiture tattooists in NYC?

Sorry late to the party but if you want to give that a name they look like Moroccan wedding henna tattoos... This might help you with the design. http://www.kenzi.com/LearnMorocco.html

Funny we just talked about Bailey H Robinson the other day! Seems he's coming to Oslo this summer! Hopefully I'll get something done by him. I was supposed to take a break from getting any more work. But right now I have about 4 new ones one the horizon. Nothing is booked yet, though! 

[FLDenim211]

Bailey Hunter is another dude who does really solid no frills american traditional style tattoos. I again wish some of these guys would visit Jax

[Marw]

Just booked an appointement with Rich Hadley for August! Can't wait!
