Who do you think deserves some recognition?

[Stewart Robson]

@NathanShearer, Frank was mentioned one page ago, by Iwar. It's terrifying how quickly Frank learns. I wish he would tattoo more and make music less. I like his tattoos and flash.

Miles doesn't have an internet 'presence' other than the Frith Street website but he's been tattooing in and around London or Australia for 20 years. He was at IntoYou for quite a while. Eye-opening stories for sure. 99% of them not fit for the internet. ;)

I drove by Atlas Tattoo today and couldn't resist stopping to look at some Dan Gilsdorf tattoos and poke around the shop. I know this shop has been given a lot of credit but I have not heard much about Jacob Redmond. I looked through his complete portfolio today at the shop. There is so much stuff in there that isn't on his blog or the shop website and it all looks so much cleaner. Honestly everytime I go in that shop it really gets me excited about tattoos (but what doesn't)

Jacob Redmond - Atlas

I've been keeping a bit of an eye out for Shannan Meow for a while now.

Some of her stuff is in a style that doesn't appeal to me personally, but her work has gotten better and better really quickly.

(official site here: can't remember if you need to "friend" her on Facebook to be able to see the above link.)

@eisen777 - we're lucky enough to have Ron post on these forums. Under The Hyena I believe?

you are correct tom, I saw some cool flash on Davids wall wed and it was Rons. I like alot of his work. We are very lucky here

shige does that stuff better

[RoryQ]

@Gregor -

Chris Crooks is the main interview in next month's 'Total Tattoo', if you're interested. They were doing the photos / chat with him while I was up at his studio last month.

I think Shige is doing the front of Chris' body suit, although I've not seen it.

BTW I am not in fact, an employee of 'Total Tattoo' or otherwise obsessed with it, despite the fact that I seem to be talking about it a lot lately...

[Gregor]

Will check it out @RoryQ . Shige is amazing , but I also think Chris deserves some recognition too. I love they way he does his Tigers.

[Turquoise Cherry]

I quite like Adam Sage's work from Into You Tattoo. He's definitely influenced by Thomas Hooper, Duncan X and Tomas Tomas, although his work looks slightly more feminine to me. Adam Sage tattoo:claret and black | All the tattoos i do are made by stick and poke. a...

[The Hyena]

Adam Sage is the man.

Peter Lagergren... unbelievable.

Let's get tatt'n

[Dr Benway]

Peter Lagergren - astonishing work. I think I'm going to be sending him an email this weekend.

[RoryQ]

Yeah, can't say I've heard of him before - but some really awesome ideas. The first loch ness sleeve I've ever seen... Vampire samurai ladies ... Undead saints.... I like it.

I was in Malmo a few years ago, who knows - could be a good reason to visit again.

[Dr Benway]

He was at the Liverpool tattoo convention. Kicking myself.

[exume]

That dude does real nice work.I remember seeing his stuff when he was only tattooing a few years,and it was good.You know he started out in NH,and he does travel to the east coast to do conventions and guest spots.There's a lot of talented tattooers in Portland.I got tattooed by Jerry Ware@ Atlas Tattoo :: Portland, Oregon They have some real good tattooers there too.What are you thinking of getting from Ryan?

Sorry it took me so long to reply... I'm thinking of getting a variation on a anatomical heart chest piece kinda dealio from Ryan. Going big with my first tattoo, kinda apprehensive after reading peoples complaints on chest pieces in the 'most painful' thread but I'm super stoked for it.

[Henrik]

Many of you might know this tattoo studio, and it was some LSTers who recommended it to me.. I simply must get my next tattoo at this place, their work is just incredible!

[Bill Blood]

I dig Jason Phillips a lot, and don't hear too much about him over here on the East Coast

[Bart Bingham]

hey Bill, I second that opinion. Jason comes to NYC to work with us at NYadorned for a few days every month. great guy and great tattoos.

Calle from King Carlos does some of the most amazing Japanese style work I've ever seen. He was one of the people I considered for my backpiece but in the end it didn't look like it was going to work out. A combination of the waiting list at the time, mechanics of going back and forth to Stockholm (he doesn't travel because of his back, AFAIK)...
