Need an Artist near Bridgeport, CT

I apologize if Im not following this boards etiquette, got a first timer here.... Im looking for an artist to help me realize an idea in my head, i want to start a piece on my right shoulder and have it spill out on my my chest and/or back, there are alot of ideas i have about where i want this piece to go, id love an asian theme and im dying to this started, Ive been sitting on my hands about this for way too long, i realize ive been waiting to find the right artist to help, so please anyone....ideas, recommendations are greatly appreciated, and hopefully if this works out well i can have them posted on this website, thanks

I really can't say enough about Hope Gallery in New Haven, or Transcend in Brandford CT. Any of the artists at those shops have work that can be seen on this site, if you go to the artists list in the above menu, you'll see a wide range of incredible art by the guys at those locations. Good Luck!

There is no "etiquette" on this forum dear poster...any and all are welcome and we all appreciate your post and hope any info you glean from this site helps you to get the best damn tattoo possible! Thank you for your post!...TAz of Painted Angel Studios!!

i heard and seen the work from guys at hope gallery and they are good not to far from bridgeport about 20 min half an hour drive the most u might want to check them out

also check out chris finallis in shelton on howe ave. I think its called shelton tattoo. he does awesome work and learned under danny williams. you might have to wait a while seeing as he's pretty booked but the best artists usually are. you can check out his work by doing an online search for shelton tattoo. hope this helps

forgot to mention I definately agree with hope gallery in new haven very good stuff from them also.

www.tattooandy.com Larry Davis,& Orrin Hurley,@Vanguard Tattoo,in Nyack,NY..do excellent asian style work..Orrin is a memeber on this site..just click on the artists list,and you can view his work..

Hey, I am a first timer here too! I would recommend Transcend Tattoo in Branford. I got my first tattoo there a few weeks ago. It was a great experience! I have heard a lot of great things about Hope Gallery as well. These shops may be further away, but it is worth traveling to get a great tattoo. Will this tattoo be your first?

thanks everyone for the help, after i posted that i did look through some artist pages, im definitly going to check out hope gallery, and the place in branford, i also got a recommendation to check out Sutdio Zee so New Haven seems like a good place to start, THANKs guys
