Tattoo ARTIST wanted near Chicago

*** Tattoo Artist Wanted *** We are looking for a professional ARTIST with at least 3 years of tattooing experience. This is a great opportunity to get into a shop that has been established for over twelve years and has a large clientele base with a great crew consisting of owner Larry Brogan, Ryan Granrath and Joe Pasternak. Our artists are booked weeks and months in advance as this is a very busy shop in need of another artist. We have a heavy convention schedule this year giving new additions to the shop a chance to jump on board. We want only motivated kick ass artists with no addictions other than tattooing. Please send resumes and references to Larry Brogan at [email removed] We do tons of custom work as well as flash so don't miss a great chance to get in with one of the hottest shops in the Midwest located only 30 minutes from Chicago. Give us a call at 815-836-8282 if you are interested. www.tattoocityskinart.com

I have been tattooing for 21 yrs I have an extensive portfolio of alot of my work. Lord knows you cannot capture every tattoo that is done. But i have owned my own shop and have recently retired it. I have a desire to go back towards home I am from the Hammond, Gary, Eastchicago area and i have alot of friends and clients in the area that may possibly travel, Depending how far you are from these areas. But i have alot of biker friends in the area Illinois, Indiana And Missouri chapters that travel to where i am no matter. But if you think you would like to see some of the work that i have done contact me and we can discuss the possiblity of our working together. Thank You for your post. Plus i have been piercing for 13 yrs, and i have also done suspensions (not personally but have done them for clients).

Sorry guys, we are full up with artists at this time. The message you are posting about was dated over a year ago and is no longer valid. Best of luck, Larry Brogan

I live in Kewanee IL and have been tattooing off and on for about 15 years. I have tattooed everywhere between here and Cali. I work at TNT tattoos right now, but its hard to support your family in a small ass town as you well know. So I'm looking to find a shop that will give me the work I deserve. If you are interested in giving the hardest working tattoo artist around a chance, give me a call at 309-645-7548.Thank You.

I'm not sure if you noticed but the post you responded to is quite old and the position was filled some time ago. While we usually do not hire artists who tattoo off and on through the years, we prefer full time artists who are dedicated 100% to the art, we are always happy to check out portfolios. Please post a web link to your work or email photos to me at [email removed] I don't know that any of us really deserve to tattoo anyone at all but good quality artists can earn the reputation that will get them ample clientele who don't mind traveling even to a small town. Thanks, Larry
