wrazz Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm heading to Philadelphia in about 2 weeks. I'd like to get a tattooed by someone 'notorious' in their own part of town. Care to help? I've done a bit of research on Google & all that jazz but, also taking personal references.

chrislj54 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Seems to me Myke Chambers is top notch. I think he is taking the next two weeks off. I would try to get something from him.

Cork Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Dave Fox is the man, I'd recommend him. Not sure if he'll have an opening in 2 weeks though. I waited a couple months for my time with him.

onaquesttoseeamoose Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I jumped in here after reading through the posts on this thread, to ask a question that may be rather obscure..... When I began making tattoos, I spent time in Philly in 1992 in love with a girl, and skateboarding. I knew of 3 fellows, all with the first name JOHN, all tattoo artists in those days, and began working out of a warehouse on N. 5th and Cecil B...... The most...uhhh...."prolific" of these gents, was a tattooist named John Tyler. One could not mistake this guy,a tall Caucasian with long dreadlocks, and the word "REAL" in black Olde English on his throat...which was very intense to me back then, 20 years ago. I don't mean to treat the LST forum like I'm finding a high school friend on Facebook, but he was a Philly tattooist, and one of my earliest influences. We had good friends in common only, but would anyone happen to know what may have come of John Tyler or the rest of the J-Krew? They all worked on South Street together at some point...a LONG time ago.
