Best tattoo artists for black tattoo

5 messages · last activity 6/17/2005

I would like to get a tattoo similar in style to Bam Margera's side tattoo. I am including 2 links of pictures at the end of this. I want it to be all black and simple and have clean lines. I am looking for a tattoo artist who specializes in or can do this kind of tattoo really well. I currently live in the Boston area, but will be moving to San Francisco in 6 months. I am also willing to travel to get this done. I want this to be a quality tattoo, and would be willing to spend whatever is necessary to make sure it ends up good. Who are the best tattooists for this kind of tattoo? http://jackass.ulie.nl/_pictures/04/bam_tatoo/bamtattoo01.jpg http://www.kayotik.co.uk/Stencils/Tattoo.jpg
check out tsunamitattoo.com in portland.mike drexler does a solid tattoo.he works at anchorsteamtattoo.com and lou jacque is really good,at transcendtattoo.com in SF.ccheck out idlehandsf.com and greg,at oneshottattoo.com and jason,at cyclopstattoo.com
check out redemption tattoo in cambridge mass. or fat rams pumpkin tattoo in mass. redemption does some real nice solid traditional work but who knows one of the guys might be into packing in some solid black. ram does a nice array of styles and might be into it as well. both shops have sites.
Thanks for the advice everyone. I will definately look into those people. Does anyone else have any other reccomendations for tattoo artists in the Boston or San Francisco areas? Thanks!
I too would recommend Lou Jacque (he loves blackwork as well as color) in New England and Jason Tyler Grace who is currently at Idle Hands in San Fransisco 415.552.4353. Both are fantastic tattoo artists (as are the others people mentioned). Let em know I sent ya and let us know how it goes.. .
