What do you all think about this artist? http://midnightmoontattoo.com/mathew-clarke/ https://www.instagram.com/mathewclarke/

He seems versatile. I just happened upon him during a google search and it turns out he's here in NH which is a plus!

another way to describe the style you're looking for would be "illustrative". 

Yeah I wasn't quite sure how to describe it!  I know it's not "classic" neo-traditional.

Check out Chris Dingwall in Portland, ME.  I was tattooed by him when he was working at 8 Ball in Columbus.

Tremendous artist.

Thanks! I really like his work. Definitely a contender!

Hi!

My first recommendation is to take Oicha's advice. Depending upon what you want, NY is loaded with amazing artists. I am especially fond of the folks at Kings Avenue (Grez, Rose Hardy, Becca Genne-Bacon, Matt Adamson, Chris Fernandez). Todd Noble at Redemption is great as well.

What are you looking to get?

Thank you! I guess I'm just having a hard time searching for artists out of the hundreds of website/portfolios that are out there! Kings Avenue has some really nice artists. I want to get a half sleeve of my dogs. I really like the more realistic/modern style neo traditional with the naturey themes.

Dan by the wood out of new york, look at the top NY shops and I'm sure you will have a hard time picking out of the gigantic list of heavy hitters

Thank you for the recommendation! Great artist! 

Hello,

I'm in New Hampshire and I'm looking for recommendations of artists in the New England area for neo-traditional style tattoos. I'm obsessed with Tom Bartley, but haven't been able to find any artists even remotely close to me that have comparable quality and style. I'm feeling discouraged!
