Shaun1105 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I can't seem to post links very easily from my wife's iPad - but I am a fan of Joe Ellis (Sacred Electric in Leeds, UK). He was an apprentice when I first became aware of him a couple years ago. For a sample of his work check out my Rock of Ages in my gallery. cltattooing, Gregor, Jackrabbitt666 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrislj54 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 The photo of the snake and frog under Alex was posted by Matt Howse a few weeks ago from his Instagram account I believe Matt is the artist. In the storm of crap, sometimes it's nice to recognize the newcomers who are doing well and give us things to look forward to for the future of tattooing. Here are some tattooers who have been at it 5 years or less and are doing some really great work. Feel free to add! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motsimus Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 yeah you are correct @chrislj54 , he tattooed it on Alex Matus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cltattooing Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 @chrislj54 Hahahahaha, you are absolutely right.

chrislj54 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 No problems, great thread. I just wanted to make sure credit goes where it's due. Matt is a great artist and an even better person.

gougetheeyes Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Daryl Rodriguez at Hold It Down in RVA seems to be able to do anything and getting better all the time. Met him super briefly at the Philly convention two (?) years ago and started following him on instagram afterwards. http://web.stagram.com/n/daryl_rodriguez/ cltattooing and CultExciter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironchef Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Zac Scheinbaum at Saved. I believe he's only 23 or 24. My second or third visit to Kings Avenue Long Island, I had the pleasure of sharing a LIRR train ride back into NYC with Zac. He's got full sleeve from Rubendall. This was before he started at Saved. I now see everyone's influence in Zac's work from Tamez, O'Donnell and especially Hooper. Really cool kid. gougetheeyes, HaydenRose, cltattooing and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a lot of good work is coming out of that shop, although I definitely dig Daryl's versatility and his lady heads are really cool. Sometimes it gets tiring to see the same lady head over and over again, looks like he's keeping it fresh. gougetheeyes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironchef Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 There's this kid I stumbled upon on Instagram from the UK that does AWESOME looking work. He goes by the name Akuma Shugi but not sure if that is just a anime/cosplay moniker or his real name. https://www.facebook.com/akuma.shugi AKUMA SHUGI Instagram Joe Shit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
