This is the Tattoo by José Lopez i was referring to. Sorry the pictures are pretty crap.

I just joined this site, I love lady heads and after browsing the member pictures I'd like to add Stefan Johnson's name to this conversation. I really love his style of girls and not even sure how it would be categorized (help?). I plan on getting a gypsy head in the near future but I prefer the more neo-trad, softer designs like this rather than the pure traditional styles which most artists seem to do. Here's a few examples of Stefan's style which I like and if anyone can suggest a traveling artist or one in the northeastern US who does similar work I'd greatly appreciate it. If I was closer to Stefan's shop in CA I'd be booking an appt. tomorrow. Thanks.

Man these are excellent, love the colour.

I'm a big fan of Valerie Vargas's work, again throwing Tim Hendricks name down, and i had the pleasure of seeing a lady head on a fore arm up close by José Lopez shortly after he finished it, i was blown away, super work.

Looking forward to this convention. It was great last year.! Ordered my ticket today.

Myself and my girlfriend travelled from Ireland to Chicago and came home via New York to get tattoo'd. Possibly the best holiday i've ever been on.!

@tammy, thanks for the welcome.!

@Lochian, Thanks, Yeah, found the site through Ross's Tweets. Must get some pics up alright.

@gougetheeyes, Yeah man, love the place.! Had an amazing time in Graceland Tattoo in brooklyn back in October.

Hey all,

My name's John, from Limerick, Ireland. Found LST on twitter. Looks like a great site, good crowd and a valuable resource.

Not a tattoo artist unfortunately, only a collector, and it's still early days yet. So far i've been tattoo'd by Ross Nagle (All Stat Tattoo, Limerick), Patrick Conlon x2 (East Side Ink & Graceland Tattoo, New York), Joel Bones (Gold Rush Tattoo, California) & Jason Longtin (Deluxe Tattoo, Chicago)

Look forward to getting to know ye.

John
