Tattoo artists Cover-up and oriental

7 messages · last activity 6/8/2009

Hi, wonder if anyone here can tell me REALLY GOOD tattoo artists that do cover-ups (must be real good) around the states (can be worldwide if it is really good). The same goes for oriental style artists, i m looking to get a full sleeve and i want a artists that can do this really good. I m looking for more traditional, tebori would be good but is not a must, just want a good artist in that style that has originality, cause mine will be more a custom oriental with some crazy ideas that i have to put on it. I searched on the google but really cant find any artist that amazes me. The only one that i would give my arm without fear would be shige but i cant contact him as his studio dont replys to my emails and i bet that he has a 3 or 4 years waiting list. Guy Aitchson is the same i contact him, and he replied me and was very nice but told that he cant get big projects for a long time. My sleeve that i have in mind was most in a oriental style background but with some space themes (like a oriental space or something like that) and a lion anywhere. So is more like a custom I suppose. If anyone wants to indicate really good artist in that area that have their own styles and originality i would appreciate. I want in the U.S but can be worldwide, just dont put the ones that everyone knows like shige or horioshi that has a 3 years waiting list. The same goes for a cover up artist. Thanks !! peace

Tattooist OUTSIDE the United States? Dood, you can find an artist EASILY within the US who can cater to your whims. Easily.

I do quite a bit of cover ups and I am also studying Shige's design aesthetic. I have a gallery here on TattooNow. You can view my artwork and tattoos here; http://www.tattoonow.com/artists/Eddie_Loven/ Also, I have a few body suit designs at the studio that you might like to see for the aforementioned design aesthetic. Thanks for looking, -Ed
