Low Key Mind Blowers

We all know the pros and cons of the internet these days. Tattoos are a part of main stream culture. Everyone with a smart phone and an Instagram accounts is a self professed expert of the craft but I think there’s still something to be said for having the world at your fingertips. The fact is that the market is so saturated with talent if you weren’t an established tattooer 20+ years ago you’re likely getting lost in the fray.

I hope this thread serves as a place to shine a light on talent that doesn’t necessarily get the recognition they may deservd.  Share those tattooers you’ve stumbled acrosss and are now blowing your mind. You may even want to be tattooed by some of them in the future. 

I’m sure this list will be growing and evolving for me but I’ll start off:

Luca Mamone- Italy 

Chad Chesko- US

Daniel Hoang- Italy

Zach Stuka- US

Nello Rossini- Italy

Alvaro- Spain

Stance- Canada

Charlie Nilsson- Sweden

Nick Filth- US

Matt Mooney- Australia 

Hori Tusukikage- US

My first two picks actually work together in a local-ish shop.

Dave Wah is a little more famous than when I first met him, but still not where he should be, imo. He makes buttery smooth stuff, his style reminds me of a more neotrad Myke Chambers almost. Big, bold lines and saturated color, simple and clean designs...good stuff. https://www.instagram.com/davewahtattoos/

Another guy I really enjoy is Troy Clements. His work is balls to the wall as far as size and placement, lots of huge gnarly backs and fronts, vicious animals, bloody daggers...I'm rarely bored by what he comes up with and the execution is top notch, imo. https://www.instagram.com/tattoosbytroyclements/

One last one comes to mind for me...I recently stumbled upon Danny Potter on Instagram, and almost every time one of his pieces comes up in my feed, it makes me smile. Obscenely bold lines and ungodly amounts of black, his stuff is just so charming and he deserves way more attention. https://www.instagram.com/blakstuff/
