Face, neck, hands.

Inside of my arm has by far been the most painful spot so far. Not looking forward to finishing that up.....

I was interested in this thread since have a similar situation (started tattoo, cannot get another appt with my artist). Totally sucks. I'm in the looking-for-another-artist boat, now, too.

Hawk, you're really awesome for making that offer to the OP. How incredibly generous.

In Jersey,Chris Adamek would be my first choice.Are you looking for an artist to finish work your other artist didnt finish.

I looked at his site before, I really like his work. And yes, I'm looking for someone to finish some work.....

Welcome to LST and as you can already tell there are many helpful people on LST to help you get a good tattoo with a good experience

Yup, been on here all day reading (and hence slacking off at the office). I'm very glad I found this forum :)

I'm in between sessions for a large piece, and I have thought about getting a smaller piece in the mean time to fill the void. I hate waiting. Getting tattooed is something I truly enjoy. I don't even get the nervous anticipation, I just get excited. It's been about 6 months and I'm definitely pining.....

@Joe Shit with the win! All great recommendations. And Dave Wallin is exceptionally awesome and a great dude, so I'll second him as well.

Sweet. Thanks, guys. Already have a list running. :)

Bigjoe, thank you for all your suggestions, I'm going to have a look through all of them. I know NYC is going to be pricier, and if I can find an artist in NJ that'd be great. I'm having a tough time, though.

Hello! I'm sure if you start/post in a thread about what you're looking for, you'll get some good suggestions. And welcome!

Thank you, I've been reading and I'm really enjoying the forum so far. I'll post up something soon about my situation and what I'm looking for. Hopefully some of the members can offer advice/suggestions. :)

Hi all, just a quick intro....I'm an enthusiast and will probably mostly lurk/read. I am also looking for a realism artist in the Philly/NJ/NYC or even CT area. I have a little bit of a difficult situation I was left in with my last artist, but I will post another thread on that.

For now I just wanted to say hello and thanks to the mods for having me.
