Koi in New England?

[jen7]

Looking for the right artist to do a nice koi half sleeve in color. Was thinking of going with Garver down in Miami but saving a bundle of money on hotels and flights seems mighty appealing these days. Anyone you would recommend within driving distance of NH?

Chris Garver is in NYC though that doesn't necessarily make the travel that much more affordable.

Check out Jeb Riley at Hobo's in Portsmouth, NH, Erik Rieth in Providence, RI, Forrest Cavacco in Plymouth, MA, and I'm sure people can suggest plenty of other good local-ish options because there are a lot of great tattooers in New England.

Thanks! Wow, missed the move to NYC....definitely an option. I will definitely check out the others! Portsmouth is just a hop, skip, jump from me

Jeb Riley is a great artist. Also check out Jason Louie at Ironworks also in portsmouth. And Kyle Harrison at Hidden History in Dover NH.

thanks for all the suggestions! I have a lot of researching to do. Planning for maybe 2017 (getting my back finished next year so the arm is after my wallet recovers)

Another consideration would have to be Chris Garver's waiting list. Does anyone have any idea how long it might be?

[jen7]

I was assuming at least a year.....which is why I am deciding now for 2017. My back piece put me on a 2 year waiting list, which is about my limit

Wow, I spent the day googling and instagramming those guys and am gonna have to head over to Portsmouth and down to Concord to see the sights and check out some portfolios.

Thanks a million you guys.
