byzantine 63 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hello everybody I'm new to the forum, nice to meet you all! I'm a lady from the UK with a longstanding passion for tattoos. I have really enjoyed watching the artist interviews from Lost Sparrow which lead me to this forum. Hoping to share experiences, learn more about the art form and hopefully about some new artists here. I have 6 largish tattoos at the moment and really enjoy the process of getting tattooed. All my tattoos are black and grey and vary in style but my main love is traditional - especially traditional with an eccentric twist. I'm planning a US trip next year so any recommendations on traditional black and grey artists would be great! polliwog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zetroc 256 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Welcome! If you're going to Austin it's basically a requirement to visit Rock of Ages. The Tig and Shaun1105 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SStu 2,411 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Welcome! If you're going to Austin it's basically a requirement to visit Rock of Ages. this^ Not a lot of traditional traditional in New Orleans, but you might want to check out the guys at Eye Candy.

The Tig 314 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 New Orleans has more culture in most any of their neighborhoods than most entire cities have. SStu 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
polliwog 866 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Boston area--shops that I've had direct experience with include The Torchbearer (in Pawtucket), Congress St. (in Portsmouth) and Fat Ram's Pumpkin Tattoo (in Boston proper) and I hope to be making an appointment at Redemption Tattoo soon. All shops that get repeated a lot on here, but I wanted to stick to what I know in recommending them to you! The first two are easy day trips, the latter two are public-transit accessible.
