Hello from London

[La Mort]

Hi everyone. Just been reading through the forum posts and thought I would join the forum.

I am a graphic artist from North London and I found myself becoming involved with the tattoo world through my art. I have met some of the most talented and genuine people over the last few years, mainly at the conventions, and can't wait for the next one.

I am also waiting to find the right artist to do my first piece. It's really hard to find someone who does exactly what I am after. I have a couple of people in mind. I keep playing with the idea of drawing it myself, but I think when I find the right artist I'll be happy enough to let them just go for it! Don't know if it's ok for me to name names but there is a a guy in Russia who's work blows my mind.

I'll stop it there, but I hope to get to know some you soon. :)

Is it Den Yakovlev?It's okay to say who it is...But I doubt if you have to get someone outside of UK to do it.There's so many talented tattooers there,I'm sure you can find someone that does a similar style.

Hey, thanks for your reply. He's on Instagram as Alexander Grim. His work is very similar in style to what I do. Kind of tragic with a lot of animals being stabbed with swords and arrows! I probably just need to hunt round the UK a little more. There is a guy called Pete the Thief as well who's work is sick and he's only down on the south coast I think. If you know any one who works in a similar style to either of those then let me know. Would be much appreciated.

Yeah,he's very talented...I don't know of an artist in UK thats on his level,but check these out..

Did you inquire if he travels to do conventions or guest spots anywhere?

Why not travel to get tattooed by him?

[La Mort]

Wow, thanks for the suggestions. I think the bottom guy is nearest my sort of thing. Wicked stuff.

I did ask about him if he travels, but I think he has no plans to come to London. I would consider going over there, but would probably want quite a bit done when I was there.

I should probably stop talking about it and just get it done!
