Tatto artists in W-B

15 messages · last activity 4/16/2006

I've got an idea for a tattoo that I made on my comptuer using some basic photo editing techniques. The images and desgin is based off my favorite video game Grim Fandango. I've got one tattoo already, but it was rather simple compaired to this one, I was wondering if you know any top notch A++ fantastic tattoo artists in the Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania area. There is this local tattoo chain type place but I like to avoid it because ever time I've ever been there with friends and the like they were all giant asses, seemed like young punks. (I made sure not to get my first one there.) -Jesse
Nadda? No good artists in the wileks barre PA area?
It sounds like you need someine good. How far are you willing to travel? Some fantastic folks in philly. NYC...
Philly wouldn't be outrageous if the talent and quality was there. It's about a 2 hours drive from here. I go there for concerts. My first one I got locally because it was nothing fancy. If you'd like to see the picture I have it hosted here. http://www.wclh.net/case/manny.jpg I used a composite of 2 images from the video game. I don't know how complicated it looks but I know it's more so then my first.

Kmama is correctamundo. Either of those three artists is world reknown and would do a fantastic job (thye each have their own style. To make that into a sleeve you would want to add in background and size it to fit perfectly. I would email the artists, see if any of them are into video games paticularly and email them the photo you have ad reference. Here are links to Josh Hoffman, Dave Fox, and Shane ONeill is in norwood. Sounds like fun work!
Smooth. Will do. Thanks for the reference. I'm probably gonna get it done in march during my spring break. (Some people go on vacation... I'll get a tattoo.) I suppose if I was slightly more ambitious I would have noticed their name on the main site.
Glad to help, if I had more room Id be getting some work done by any of those guys. It sure is fun promoting fantastic artists. In any event, let us know how it goes, and tell those guys to update their portfolios!
I e-mailed all 3 of them friday of last week and I've yet to hear back from any of them. I was just curious to know how the e-mail them part of their profile works on there exactly? Is there another e-mail address I should have used instead.
Welp, I reckon they are really busy/ hate checking email...? Hmm, Try giving em a call after 1-2 and touch base in person. They might not check their email very often...
Will do.
Cool, remember, the better the artist the harder they are to get ahold of. But it shouldnt be impossible!
Try traveling to pittsburgh Pa south side tattoo or in your skin tattoo ive heard good things about those places
