Ray Karpis Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 36-year-old lawyer from Little Rock, Arkansas. Got my first and only tattoo in college and am getting back into the chair sometime soon. I would love to get recommendations on artists in my area (and surrounding states), so I look forward to meeting many of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Karpis Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Thanks for the recommendations. I had not seen Travis before...pretty good stuff. His color blending is really good. He's one of the better artists I've seen in Arkansas. I will look into him a little further. I have looked at Caleb, and I think he's generally okay, but his stuff hits me as a little dark and muddy. As for what I'm looking for...traditional gypsy/lady head but customized to resemble my wife. I need a good, solid traditional artist with great, bright coloring, but that has the portrait skill to get a solid likeness in the tattoo. Make sense? My first choices would be Valerie Vargas on the traditional side and Liz Cook on the realism side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
