contacting shige

I am trying to get a tattoo from Shige at yellowblaze.com, and sent an email over 3 months ago with no response, and within the last week a myspace message and no response. Any tips or advise on how to contact shige?

looks like you tried your best 2 options... unless you make a call, long distance i know it sucks, but worth a shot.

yeh i know, hopefully someone who has gotten work from him can chime in.

Ring ring, email email, catch him at a convention... I would expect one email in three months to get lost in the mass of emails. Keep it up every few weeks, and call on the phone. If he is still accepting new clients, you will have to wait and be persistent a long time, a year or two, probably without a definite answer. I have also found that if you have tattoos from other respected artists it tends to be a bit easier "getting in". Good luck and let us know how it goes. I'd love a tattoo from shige too!
