Edited because it didn't need to exist/can't delete it. Carry on!

[MadeIndelible]

Some of my extensive list:

Freddy Corbin

Ron Henry Wells

Horitoshi/Salmon Family

Jeff Rassier

Jaie Devore

Matt Wes

[smiling.politely]

The first two have always been top of the list, since they were my first two favorite tattooers. After that, it's been a slow addition.

Chris O'Donnell

Steve Byrne

Stewart Robson

Mike Rubendall

Frank Carter

Smith Street crew

Frith Street crew (already got two down)

waaaaaaaaay too many to list here...

[ironchef]

The ladies are leading the way for me:

Claudia De Sabe

Wendy Pham

Valerie Vargas

Mina Aoki

then

Horitomo

Horitoshi Family

Chris O'Donnell

Horimasa

Regino Gonzalez

Yoni Zilber

Andre Malcolm

[Synesthesia]

The majority of people on this list are extremely accessible. Get on it!

I'd really like to make trip to New York at some point to get tattooed by Richard Smith, he just might be my favorite on the entire list. At this point in my life, going to California or out of the country is totally out of the question, but maybe someday...

-Valerie Vargas because of that punk rock girl she did with the green mohawk. Amazing.

-Jason McCafee

-Uncle Allan

-Gordon Combs

-Mike Bruce

-Chad K

-Grime

I got a loan of a Greg Irons book a while back and he was a truely gifted amazing artist . Makes me sad when I think he was taken from us before his time.

Is that the You Call This Art book? I've been looking for an affordable copy of that forever. He was an incredible artist, and the tattoos of his in Tattootime are unbelievable. Gone way too soon, for sure.

[Gregor]

Yeah it is, one of my friends has it. I also have a copy of swamp thing where Alan Moore has put a nice wee tribute to him in the back. Really sad.

[Brock Varty]

Chris Crooks is fucking KILLING it right now guys. Holy balls...

All of those guys are great but Daniel Trocchio and Regino are my favorites in that group. I have met Mr. Trocchio a few time...super stellar dude.

I like black and grey. Looking at their work online, depending on what I want, I would lean towards a particular artist.

Anderson: lady heads, ornamental

John: geometric shapes, patterns

Darwin: realism

Regino: asian vibe

Daniels: original quirky designs geometric

This is just going by what I see online. I'm going to the NYC convention where I hope to meet some of them and see more of their work. I can always stop by their shops too.

[RoryQ]

Dan Sinnes, Luxembourg Electric

Paul O'Rourke, All Star Limerick

That's who are impressing me right now!

W.T.NORBERT! I would happily walk in to an appointment with him blind and just let him have at it! I have looked at pictures of his tattoos and have seen so many that originally I would not have chosen- but seen the way he does it and thought "shit I would actually get that!"

also I really do love traditional Japanese tattoos. I love reading interviews with Horitoshi I,Horimasa, Kian Forreal (enjoy his articles in Australian Inked magazine too), I really love the tradition , love all the meaning and the way only certain motifs go together, and some don't even belong on certain body parts. I love all the rules! Though I doubt i'd ever get one because I feel a little like Wayne and Garth in Waynes world...

"We are not worthy!" *commence bowing of worship*

Oh, and now Chelsea Shoneck, too. I really want a platypus tattoo someday, and I think she's the one to do it. Since a platypus already looks like one of her hybrid animals, anyway.
