Ocean County, NJ - need recommendations on portrait/black & grey artists

Any help is much appreciated. Any links to their sites or work is appreciated too! Thanks!

If you don't mind traveling Julio at Hope Gallery did a portait for me and its sweet. Check him out @ HopeGallerytattoo.com. Good Luck

Just checked out his work. He's definately BAD ASS!! CT is a pretty far stretch for me, but it's a possibility if I don't find someone I like. Seen some work from other artists that I would drop if they did that to me. Unbelieveable!! Did you see that one on the website that he fixed?? OH MY GOD!! That was a *hit job before!! I'd knock the dude out if he did that to me!!

Mike [email removed] He does alot of bold color work,but i seen some really nice b&g work,and portraits he's done also.. Rich,and [email removed] do nice black n grey work,and can do a nice portrait too.. Chris [email removed] is good with b&g,and portraits..

hey just surfing and saw my name pop up thanks for the props.and yes that tattoo was busted im glad i was able to do something with it.well if you descide to travel let me know and ill try and make it worth the trip.i love doing portrait work and always enjoy the opportunity.anyway good luck with your search and if you wanna go to the guy tattooist get tattooed by check out BOB TYRELL outta detroit hell blow your mind.he did my kids portraits on my forearm and i learned a lot from just watching him work and hes an awsome person !remember tattoos are permanent and a day of traveling for good work is always worth it.i went from ct to detroit to get tattooed.
