Portrait Tattoo Artists in NJ

12 messages · last activity 9/18/2012

I just turned 18 and I've been wanting to get a portrait on my upper arm of my mother who passed away when I was eleven. My dad gets his tattoos from K & B in hightstown and the owner does portraits but i was wondering if there are any other exceptionally good portrait artists in nj
www.chrisadamek.com From looking at his portfolio, he seems to be a very versatile artist. Does a lot of styles very well, including portraits.
I live in Jersey too,and there really aren't many excellent portrait artists in this State..I got a portrait of my Mom last year from Shane O Neill.He was a guest artist at The White Lotus Tattoo,in Tom's River.You can call the shop to see if he will be doing a guest spot there again.732.505-6887 His site is www.shaneoneilltattoos.com Chris Adamek is very talented-i didn't see those portraits he has on his site until recently,or i may have gone to him. But the thing with Shane is,he specializes in photorealistic work,so he does it on a daily basis.
yeah, i've seen a bunch of pictures of portrait tats and there is one common aspect to them that i don't like... in alot of them the contrast is off...the lips tend to be extremely, almost as if the artist gave them black lipstick and i think that just looks awkward. and since it's a portrait of my mom i want it to look like her, not a portrait of an "emo" version of her lol
my bad..."extremely dark" i left the word dark out
Well, check out our portrait tattoos and see whom you like. Lots of tattoo artists travel to New Jersey for the tattoo convention that Mario Barth puts on every year.
If you can take the drive down to DE, then definitely try to get a booking with Shane O'Neill. He is definitely the most well known portrait artist closest to NJ. I was suggesting Chris Adamek if you must stay within NJ. From the artists I've seen in NJ, Chris seems to do the best portraits, among several other things.
You gotta try to find the tat artist DEZO TC5. His portraits are fabulous!!!!! He's always around Asbury and Neptune.
