David Flores Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 So I am always a week behind the show (watch it on spike website) and at this point don't really care how it ends, I have seen enough. That being said the idea of a who the most well rounded tattooers around is something worth discussing, so I figured I would ask who people would put on the show ideally. Obviously most of these tattooers probably would never go on this show, but nonetheless I figure it's an excuse to give great tattooers the credit they deserve. I am still thinking about my list but so far I would say Freddy Corbin Juan Puente Tim Hendricks kylegrey and Duffa 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1902-who-are-your-inkmasters/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogg Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Mike Wilson Juan Puente Scott Sylvia Not only are these guys all capable of pulling off damn near anything, but I just noticed that their names are all the same length.

David Flores Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 Yeah I couldn't argue with either of those guys. I was going to Say Dan Gilsdorf and Lewis Hess but they don't have the right number of letters. When I think of Dan Gilsdorf, traditional tattooing comes to mind but seeing some of the work he does in other realms in person and his portfolio makes me think he is about as perfect as of a tattooer as there is. Lewis Hess puts on solid tattoos of all kinds and whenever someone suggests something a little wacky, he is the guy who comes to mind that could pull it off.

hgiles Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I doubt that mastery in all styles is even possible. I really doubt Filip Leu could knock out a color bomb cartoon fantasy like Jesse Smith...and I doubt Tim Hendricks could knock out a Japanese back piece like Shige. 'Ink Master' is a fantasy.

Stitch626 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I love my own artist, and I'm not well versed in the whose who in tattooing, but i know some of the big names that have been posted.

hogg Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 there are sooo many well rounded tattooers out there. so many will be left out. id like to see someone post someones name that no one ever talks about @David Flores mentioned Dan Gilsdorf on the first page. I'd say he qualifies. His traditional is great, but he also has beautiful Japanese work that reminds me of Miyazo's stuff.

Avery Taylor Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Bryan Burk, Jeff Cribb, Josh Arment. All dudes that were interviewed, that are pretty versatile. Bryan Bruno kills shit, as does Mike Rennie both at Absolute Art. Timothy Hoyer, Clay Decker, Brandon Munday, Paco Excel, Jeff Zuck. Fuck there are too many to name, but I still think Mike Wilson is my favourite all around tattooer. hogg 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1902-who-are-your-inkmasters/#findComment-29665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
