Euchlid Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Heather McLean out of Strangeworld in Calgary, Canada She did my Dutch girl sleeve, and portraits on my husband's feet (Salvador Dali and Jean-Paul Sartre). She's super rad and really nice, and definitely takes some influence from the great Steve Moore. Her website is HBomb.ca : Tattoos She does tonnes of art too, and makes sure to take sabbaticals for art purposes, so she's super hard to book. She also has a bunch of rad prints up on Rivervalleyprinting - Heather McLean The river valley print co. does lots of prints for a bunch of awesome Canadian tattoo artists Graeme 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/694-who-do-you-think-deserves-some-recognition/?page=20#findComment-96368 Share on other sites More sharing options...

idyllsend Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Evan Dowdell, Time Will Tell - Burlington ON. He's doing my back piece next year. Nearly a 14 month wait to book in with him. Travis Mcgregor, Thrive Studios - Cambridge ON. I've had work done at this shop by a couple other dudes, and he was another consideration for my back.

herewego Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Here are a few artists I follow that I think are under-recognized, or maybe I am just out of the loop. Cam Davis Instagram THE most perfect roses I have seen Drew Wilson Instagram Really cool "state" tattoos and a kick ass fly fisherman. Dan Pemble Instagram WOW, check out his bears Mark Stewart Instagram I have work from him Koji Ichimura Instagram Really like this style Kimmie 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/694-who-do-you-think-deserves-some-recognition/?page=20#findComment-108642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubaron Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Khuong Nguyen. Asian theme. I know his style is not popular on this site, but I think most can still appreciate his work. I like his black and grey and how smoothly he does shading.

havetsherre Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Nicholas Henriksen who's at Blue Arms Tattoo in Oslo. Nicholas is a super good all round tattooer and a really funny guy. Definitely a guy to watch and get tattooed by.

swirlwich Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Kevin Leblanc. He's been killing it for a long time and his name only pops up here and there. I don't believe he gets the credit he deserves.

Matthew Williams Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Not sure if she's been mentioned yet, but Ivana Belokava has some of the most amazing color work I've ever seen.

Boiled Dove Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Jereme Galloway, https://www.instagram.com/jeremegalloway/ , I'm sure that being based in southern Indiana makes it a bit more difficult to reach a larger audience than if he were based in a larger city. I think his stuff would still do well in that environment though. sophistre 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/694-who-do-you-think-deserves-some-recognition/?page=20#findComment-124108 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baboom Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I think Brian Bruno, Jason Kundell, Kahlil Rintye, Jill Bonny and Kevin Leblanc who aren't huge self promoters are widely overlooked by the "main stream." This serves as a double edged sword in my opinion. In talking with some of these artists who intentionally avoid social media still have a steady stream of clients coming in for work. I also think there's something to be said for artists to gain the recognition we feel they deserve. You also have the likes of Mike Roper who intentionally keep it low key. I would venture to say he's only known by the dedicated few but thats all by design. In the end I don't think I'd change a thing. Its nice to get together with those who share the same vision of what tattooing mean to them,who appreciating good work and the artists who have withstood the change in culture. The dudes laying down great tats decade after decade without letting the latest trends in. Tattooing needs the "Brads" of the world are getting super pumped about their new water color hand tattoos from the coolest artist this week.

tertia Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) I love Christian Lanouette's work. He's out of Montreal. https://www.instagram.com/christianlanouette/ My tattoo artist, Myra Oh, out of Jacksonville, FL: https://www.instagram.com/myraoh/ I don't know if these artists are under-recognized, but I'm pretty intrigued by all of the work coming out of Wonderland Tattoo in Portalnd. I don't know that I will every try to get a piece done there since I prefer more traditional tattoos on me, but their work sure is pretty. Alice Carrier, Alice Kendall, and Kirsten Holliday: https://www.instagram.com/alicerules/ https://www.instagram.com/alicestattoos/ https://www.instagram.com/onholliday/ Another one I'm not sure is under-recognized or that I'd want to be tattooed by, but whose work I really admire is David Hale. His whole approach to tattooing is interesting, though he's taking a sabbatical right now unfortunately. I have a print of his on my desk. http://davidhale.org/flesh/ Edited December 12, 2016 by tertia Oiocha 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/694-who-do-you-think-deserves-some-recognition/?page=20#findComment-131667 Share on other sites More sharing options...
