Corey Miller's 25 Favorite Tattoo Artist

[Lochlan]

Did anyone see this list? I know there was some talk recently around Bob Baxter and his list here at LST so how about Corey's List for Complex.com?
I can't copy and paste so check the link above to read it but here is just the list ( I took the liberty to fix their spelling as far as I know):
25. Filip Leu
24. Suzanne Fauser
23. Jack Rudy
22. Dave Shore
21. Jose Lopez
20. Carlos Torres
19. Henry Powell
18. Guy Aitchison
17. Hannah Aitchison
16. Kim Saigh
15. Juan Puente
14. Clae Welch
13. Grime
12. Horiyoshi III
11. Tim Hendricks
10. Tattoo Mick from Zurich

8. Leo Zulueta
7. Greg Irons
6. Bob Roberts
5. Kore Flatmo
4. Bob Tyrrell
3. Chris Garver

I see some LSTers on here plus some of the tattooers have been interviewed by LST, did you watch them yet? Plus I see one person on the list who did an interview with us that we'll be being posted soon....can you guess who it is?

Does anyone dare try to make their own top twenty-five tattoo artist in their humble opinion?

[David Flores]

I would say I am way too biased towards the people I know to make an objective list. Certainly everyone that has been mentioned in this topic deserves to be on some kind of list.

I guess the only thing I can say is where is Rollo? I guess he was mentioned on one persons list but still.

[Ursula]

i tried to stay away from mentioning tattooers who've passed since i can't get tattooed by them.. that's why i didn't list rollo or jerry or any other old school dudes... the only one was Higgs who's living but not tattooing...

[Mel Noir]

I'm with David, I don't think I could make an objectionable list. I think mine would look fairly similar to those already up here, though. Perhaps with the addition of Philadelphia Eddie, Rat and Charlie Roberts. Crap... that's sort of a list already, isn't it?
