missStark Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Everything Paul dobleman does is simply stunning and perfect. Same goes for Zach Nelligan. I absolutely love everything I see either of them do. I'd say my most recent tattoo crush though, is Tony Nilsson at Blue Arms Tattoo. On instagram he is Tony_Tox. Definitely give him a look if you are not already familiar with his work.

Reyeslv Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Thanks to both @ian and @Scott R both of you guys have some amazing work. Scott Sylvia, Valerie , Jondix, Tim Hendricks, and soon Grime ( @ian)...... I obviously agree with the both of you. @Stewart Robson work is very appealing to me. I had came across his work on twitter (pre-instagram) and immediately knew that I wanted to get something from him. In fact I am back at Frith Street in 81 days! ian and CABS 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3047-tattoo-crush/?page=2#findComment-51957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
graybones Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 definitely Ron Wells (obv I'm a fan since my bird is by him), every one of the tattoos he posts on Instagram I think "FUCK why is that not on me????" his tattoos just have such great style to them while still being classic. and he's not scared to use a bit of black... also I can never pass by a nice Ashley Love piece. Saw a heart n dagger she did at a wedding a couple weeks ago and couldn't stop staring at it. So clean.

I gotta get over to the UK and get tattooed by him.

hogg Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Oh, I just remembered another one: Shad aka Horitskukikage. Insanely beautiful Japanese work that takes cues from Horitoshi, but is still its own thing. And even though I'm lucky enough to get to see a Horitomo piece on my arm every day, I'm still floored by everything he posts, especially those cat paintings. cvportagee, Iwar, kylegrey and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3047-tattoo-crush/?page=2#findComment-52001 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love those cat paintings. I bought prints of the cat with koi backpiece and the tebori cats paintings and I need to frame and hang those. I've seen on his IG that he tattoos those as well, I'd absolutely love one when I make it to the Bay Area to get tattooed ie no time soon unfortunately :( hogg 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3047-tattoo-crush/?page=2#findComment-52002 Share on other sites More sharing options...

writerAZ Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I love those cat paintings. I bought prints of the cat with koi backpiece and the tebori cats paintings and I need to frame and hang those. I'm waiting for delivery of those same prints. Gonna frame them to hang in my new office. I'm not even a cat person (except for the Jay Cavna tiger I plan to get next), but there's something special about those paintings.

Agreed those paintings are bad ass. 2012 has sure been the year of the cat as far as tattoos go. I am not a cat guy either, but some pretty cool cat flash and paintings going around.

missStark Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Speaking of cats... Josh Stephens has been doing some great cats lately. There was a cool one that said "cat man tat man" around and also a wonderful 4 eyed cat that I am extremely jealous of whoever it is on.

gougetheeyes Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Well, now I've forgotten who said Tomas, but: Tomas Garcia. And it's all @jayessebee 's fault. I'm all over that dude's instagram, love his tattoos. Next time I'm in CA or when he rolls through on his FBI/UFO site tour (guest spots) I would definitely get tattooed by him. Seems like a cool dude, too.

semele Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I've had a tattoo crush on Ron Wells for ages now. Also, right now: AP Shrewsbury, Jason Phillips, Heather Bailey, Josh Stephens, Grez.

Shaun1105 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I just took a look at the list I keep of artists I would like to be tattooed by and it's at like 25+, but if I had to choose my current favorites I think I'd go with the oft-mentioned Ron Henry Wells, and also Robert Ryan, Herb Auerbach and Samuele Briganti.

Headphoned Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Another vote for Tutti Serra here too, great stuff. Also, i'd love to get tattooed by Jason Phillips, I really like the word play and pun oriented tattoos and flash he does.

49531 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Marina Inoue is the first who comes to mind, have digged her work for a while, guess it's a mix of colour pallet and her general style. Jessica Swaffer, Josh Stephens, Stuart Cripwell, Claudia De Sabe, Robert Ryan, Ichibay, Hiroshi Hirakawa (for his paintings as well of course) etc. etc. bleakandblue 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3047-tattoo-crush/?page=2#findComment-52787 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugilist Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I can vouch for Marie Sena's crush worthiness. Her tattoos are so damn cool and fun and she is totally awesome and hilarious herself. Getting tattooed by her was a really positive experience!
