hogg Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I think Kim-Anh Nguyen (aka @bleakandblue) has only been tattooing for 2 years, which seems impossible. But in this interview from March 2012, she says she's only been tattooing 6-7 months. Zillah, CultExciter, real meta and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I had no idea Mina Aoki has only been tattooing for a couple of years. Jesus. I assumed from her tattoos she'd been at it a lot longer than that. ironchef, cltattooing, real meta and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClintonStitch Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 That's how you do a fucking portrait! Bold outlines and shading, yet still captures the essence and life of the character it depicts. Really inspiring some looking at some of these younger Tattooers work.

smiling.politely Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 @MadeIndelible, thanks for thinking of me in any capacity. Not sure if I'm killing it yet... Hope to be maiming it in the next few years! In terms of someone killing it, my friend Stewart O'Keefe of Bullman's Tattoo in Limerick, Ireland is fantastic. He was destroying lettering before he even started tattooing. I was very happy to get one from him over the summer while visiting my fiancee, although I don't seem to have a decent photo anywhere.

suburbanxcore Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Alex Zampirri at Heart and Soul Tattoo isn't doing too shabby. His stuff is super bold and I like his lettering. Plus, he's always doing flash sheets based off bands I like. I don't think his shop is too far from me, so I'd like to get tattooed by him sometime.

I don't think his shop is too far from me, so I'd like to get tattooed by him sometime. He's only been tattooing a really short time. Not even sure if he's on his own or still apprenticing. If I was ever in the area, I would get something from him, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanxcore Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 @MadeIndelible, I've been following him on Instagram for a while. It doesn't seem like he's apprenticing anymore based on comments, but I'm not totally sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadeIndelible Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 @suburbanxcore It looks like he's tattooing on his own. His Instagram says tattooer instead of apprentice now. Zillah and suburbanxcore 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
