Iggy Vans, Idle Hand Tattoo in SF. I know of one person on LST that has something from him, but I don't here about him much. Very no frills, solid traditional work.

Tattooing professionally in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1994, Iggy Vans began his career at Erno Szabady's now-legendary studio on Fillmore St., in the Lower Haight, as well as at Erno's sister shop on Front St. in Santa Cruz. He has also tattooed at Everlasting (on McAllister St.), Freddy Corbin's Tattoo 13 in Oakland, Lyle Tuttle's on Columbus Ave. & at the original Picture Machine on Geary Blvd. & 4th Ave.

After all those years moving around, Iggy is very proud to be back in the Lower Haight, as a senior artist on the staff at Idle Hand, since January 2005.

I feel like A lot of people I talk to don't know Brian Bruno, he's my favorite current tattooer. He did a half sleeve on me from wrist to elbow and it came out perfect.

ABSOLUTE ART TATTOO

Brian's tattoos are great. I am also a big fan of Mike Rennie's tattoos. He is another guy that you don't hear about a lot, but puts out great work.

Anyone living in or coming to Melbourne, Australia should really get amongst Fergus Simms tattoos. He has dozens of amazing tattoos from the guys at Smith St. and you can really see their influence in his tattoos.

I've been really impressed with Tiny Miss Becca's tattoos for a while. I think the way that she designs tattoos is really clever because they're on the one hand really nicely rendered, but so efficiently designed.

How about Harlan Thompson at Pioneer Tattoo in Chicago. I have some friends from Chicago who are friends w/him and have tattoos from him. He guests at Memoir here in LA sometimes.

This thread needs to get going again. I have mentioned all of them before, but I thought I would put it all back up again. Tom Yak, Mike Lucena, and Derrick Snodgrass. Every time I see a tattoo one of these guys has done I am blown away.
