Avery Taylor Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I was going to write Chris Lain in here, but saw that @Avery Taylor beat me to it, like 2 years ago. It is good to get his name back in the mix. Names tend to get lost in this thread so its good to get them in here a couple of times.

CultExciter Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Another guy I was really impressed with at that convention is Matt Bivetto who is now tattooing at Three Kings in Brooklyn. His stuff is so raw and powerful and he came across as a really nice, good dude. I really want to get tattooed by him, I just need to figure a couple of things out first. Bivetto rules! @jayessebee has numerous tattoos from him. He was working at Tantrum Tattoo in Petersburg, Virginia (my birthplace!) with George Archer. jayessebee and Graeme 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/694-who-do-you-think-deserves-some-recognition/?page=18#findComment-69391 Share on other sites More sharing options...
traditional111 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Forgive me if his name has come up before in this long thread, but I believe there is pound for pound no one better than Tim McAlary at Goldrush Tattoo in Cost Mesa, CA. I know there is no best and I would never claim that he (or anyone for that matter) is the best, but he definitely deserves some recognition. He is killing it.

chrisnoluck Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Frank William is really blowing my mind with the stuff he is posting on Instagram. I met Frank at the Philly Convention last year (2012) as he was sharing a booth with Mario and my girlfriend and myself both got tattooed by Mario. Couldn't get tattooed by him at the convention due to lack of funds but we made a trip to CTC a few months later and I got tattooed by him. Super nice and does real nice tattoos. suburbanxcore and Avery Taylor 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/694-who-do-you-think-deserves-some-recognition/?page=18#findComment-70432 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnPorter Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Did I already mention Jacob Des? His flash- which he creates in prolific volume- is always super weird and surreal. He's a really funny dude, too. I don't know what most people make of his stuff, but I think he's one of the most interesting tattooers out there. semele, real meta, gougetheeyes and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/694-who-do-you-think-deserves-some-recognition/?page=18#findComment-74189 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie of the West Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I've been keen on Dusty Neal for the last two weeks or so, absorbing all of the work he's posted on his tumblr. SWORN TO THE BLACK When I first saw his feed on Tumblr.... there was a great Christ head AND a Pushead piece. I was sold. I want a Dusty Neale tattoo so bad. I discovered him when I saw a drawing online of some African-American lady heads and I saw his name on it. I knew I had to get one or something like it the instant I saw it. I'm definitely getting one of them on me. His Egyptian flash looks incredible too.
