Paco does some really nice work. I know a few people who have been tattooed by him, and they have all said that he is a nice guy. Perfection is an incredible shop, but don't miss out on Great Wave. The only regret I have from my time in Austin is not getting tattooed by Jason Brooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwar Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 Back when I started this thread I mentioned James Tex in the first post. He recently posted these backpieces on his website, and they made me want to mention him just one more time. Anyone want to join me for a trip to Calgary in the near future? cfgsteak, Lochlan and Duffa 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoryQ Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Not exactly a secret in European tattooing, but I've always though Hexa from Precious Tattoo in Finland is one of the most versatile tattooists I've come across. Seems to be able to do several styles to a high level. In an interview I read the explanation was that it's a small country and there was a need to be versatile to handle all kinds of clients. That said, the traditional stuff is my favourite ... A good bit of humour and the occult injected in there. Maybe a little like Deno? This has always been a favourite tattoo of mine (not sure why)- Gregor and Duffa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a pretty long conversation with this guy when he was working at Thomas Morgan's shop in Portland. I went in all low profile, checking out the new shop in town but after talking for a minute I kind of fessed up. Really like what he had to say. I never got a chance to get tattooed by him, but maybe one day I will end up in his neck of the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoryQ Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Something a little different - a nicely made video on Andrea Furci, tattooing at the Family Business in London. I think it was done for Movember. "I've watched his work really improve even in the time I've been over and back getting tattooed in TFB - he's a super nice dude.

Avery Taylor Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Uzi, Robert Ryan , and Matt Arriolla are three for sure!!! I am in complete agreement with these three. Matt has tattooed me for many hours and it always comes out great. Another guy that is an incredible tattooer is Vinse One. He and Matt used to work together at Liberty Tattoo in Seattle, but now Vinse is at WarHorse Tattoo in SF and Matt is at Three Kings in Brooklyn. If you like traditional American tattoos Vinse does it as good as anybody you will find, and he is an a great guy.

I had never heard of Vinse before but Matt suggested he paint a sheet and it blew my socks off! I knew that they both did sheets for your book, but I haven't seen what they painted. Myself, my wife, and a few of my friends have a lot of tattoos from Vinse, and we always say that he is the best tattooer that no one has heard of. He is not one for self promotion, but I am hoping that him being in your book will give him some much deserved exposure. He also did C.J. Eddy sheet in the Revisited book.

Shmitty Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 A friend of mine named Waylon Rodgers at Cannibal Graphics in Oklahoma City. He is a super sick tattoo artist that can throw down any style, any time. He is most well known for his realism stuff, but he is just super talented all the way around the board. You might actually recognize his wife because she is in a ton of magazines, and advertisements. I will be getting my next tattoo from him. I do like all of the artists at Cannibal Graphics, but he is my personal favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
