Dragons!!!

[SStu]

I'm planning on getting a dragon tattoo this year. I've gone through some personal struggles this year and come out better for it. So I think the symbolism of the dragon would be fitting. This will be my first tattoo so I have been reading this board for a while (I was refereed here by cfgsteak) doing some research. I am very unsure who to trust to do this in my area. I'd hate to have one of the many first tattoo misshapes that seem to be so common. I like to find someone near Toledo but I'm more than willing to travel who could do a Japanese style dragon on my upper shoulder and pec. I would want someone who could draw an original piece for me. Thanks guys!

Not sure about inside of Ohio, but Buffalo isn't too far away. Here's a link to Jon Mirro's work:

Hey Rev! These guys won't steer you wrong. How far are you willing to travel?

I'm willing to travel a decent distance to get a quality tattoo. Three or four hours at least.

Wow, very impressive. Thanks for the link, I just might need to see how far Buffalo really is from me.

I really have been thinking of trying to get a consultation with Mr. Flatmo. I really like his work. Cincinnati isn't too far, especially since I would think this will require a couple of sittings. I have some friends down their I can stay with too. Maybe is time to bite the bullet and give him a call. Thanks Cu-Bu.

Oh Hells Yeah Rev. You can not go wrong there.

@ltholley killer! I missed getting tattooed by Matt when he was over here in NY at Three Kings, wanted to get one of his crazy ass spiders. Crazy-ass spiders.. not crazy Ass Spiders.

[ltholley]

here's him doing one of those spiders on my friend Gil.

Matt started both of our backs at the same time. I finished mine up last week. How much do you have left?

Another stroke of genius from Horitomo. This is on Geordie Cole owner of Tattoo Magic in Melbourne, Australia. He is also a great tattoo artist.

[ltholley]

I am about 60% there , getting more next month from him.

[gougetheeyes]

@ltholley those little videos are great!

Wow all of these tats are awesome. I'm pretty sure my next tattoo will be a dragon, especially since I was born in the year of the dragon.

I have recently become obsessed with this sheet of E.C. Kidd flash (from 1912! 100 years old!!!) which I believe is from the Hardy book Flash from the Past, and am very seriously considering getting one of the beautiful dragons off of it. Love love love everything about them.

According to Yoni Zilber's instagram, this is the start of a dragon bodysuit he is doing. It made my heart go all pitter-patter:
