Who have/do you get tattooed by?

[slayer9019]

I seem to have not run across this thread yet so I decided to start it. I know that there is a large group on this forum who get tattooed by a list of tattooers from all over, and there are some who stick to one or two people. Who do you get tattooed by and if you get tattooed by just one or two people why? I know myself I love the idea of having a bunch of great artists give me a tattoo with their own particular touch, but I also have an artist that I go for a bunch of other tattoos since he seems to nail it every time I see a new tattoo by him.

There is actually a blog entry that was started by Mario Desa that a lot of people have added their lists to!

Here is the link......

Who Has Tattooed You

It's pretty interesting....at least to me!

[Bunny Switchblade]

And to answer your question.....I prefer to get tattooed by many different people! I have been trying to get the best work possible over the years and allowing artists to do pretty much what they would like to do! I am definitely like a patchwork quilt of tattoos...and styles as well.....and I love the way my collection has progressed over the years!

I couldn't stick to the same tattooer or tattooers as I'm a complete tattoo slut.

I did forget to mention who I was tattooed by...

Paulino origionally from Milan (now Rising Dragon NYC)

Regino Gonzalez (multiple)

and in a few weeks, our own @Stewart Robson

I know I have a very short list now but thanks to LST I have a too many artist to book in the future!

[eisen777]

short list? A short list of great stuff. Regino Gonzalez is someone I really want work from before my body gets to full.

I have lots of work from Hooper, and a fair amount from Ollie. Ones offs from ron wells, chad K and jondix. and then some friends tattoos most are crappy.

This year the only planned new tattoos are to start my sleeve with Chris O Donnell.

I have a guy in mind that I'm trying to get to do my back once the laser is done. When/if he commits I'll post it up. Super excited if he does!!

@esien777 we get to see any of your work?

I had a hooper sitting almost in grasp would really like to get some work from several of the NY guys. O'donnell is putting out some cool stuff. I have one of his images in mind that i would really like to get from him someday

Sure...I almost posted my last set of thomas work but we are pretty close to being done and his pictures are always better and we didnt take any last time. I go back in April. I have shitty shitty camera so the pictures would suck. I plan on posting some more.

[Scott R]

@eisen777 Nice I will be looking forward to them

[Joe Shit]

I'm also a tattoo pig.I don't stick with one artist..There's to many good tattooers out there to just stay with one artist.

I have work from some local guy's like Mike & Tom@ Electric Tattoo in Bradley Beach.Rich Cahill in Jersey.Grez at King Avenue.Mike Perfetto,Mike Davis,Jack Rudy,Brian Everett,Cap Szumski,Alessio Ricci,Jerry Ware.I also like to get tattooed when I'm traveling.

[BoMcConaghie]

Are you the guy with the Ghandi portrait?

Whoa, are you headed to London, @slayer9019?

[Stewart Robson]

@hogg, He's not coming to London, I'm going 'over there'. There has been no online announcements or conversations because they often cause trouble, or at least a good luggage search/interrogation.

[hogg]

I'll watch for the news on Instagram, @Stewart Robson.

[BoMcConaghie]

For sure I remember. Nice to put a face with a screen name. Hope all is well in Jersey.

[peterpoose]

I think I would like to get more artists than just one or two. More the merrier!

[Dan S]

I'm a lightweight, only been worked on by a coupla people.

Me. I did a shitload of hand-tattooing on myself at a MUCH younger age, now all but one piece safely covered. Some of it was pretty decent, but nothing says jailhouse like jailhouse tattoos!

Dale Grande. Dale did quite a bit of work on me.

Mark Miller. Apprentice of Dale Grandes, did one piece on my arm.

Miles Maniaci, also worked for Dale Grande, did a full sleeve on one arm.

Nick Colella, multiple pieces and more on the way.

[Our Endless Days]

So far I’ve been tattooed by Krooked Ken, Joseph DiProjetto, Franz Stefanik, Zach Nelligan, Ashley Riot, Brad Fink, Nate Moretti, Dan Santoro.

[TrixieFaux]

I've been tattooed by a guy called Big Al back in the early 90s in New Hampshire, then in more recent years in LA I've been tattooed by Mark Mahoney, Graham Chaffee (x3), and Kim Saigh. I was so impressed by my Kim Saigh tattoo I thought I'd stick with her forever but changed my mind because the work of James Spencer-Briggs, also at Memoir, caught my eye. I'll be seeing him very soon for a big one. Interested in Maxime, too now, among others...
