This is fantastic

Thanks for all the direction everyone.

Guys, these suggestions are great. It is really inspiring me. Some (all?) of these artists are high profile, should I be intimidated by that? I only ask this because I want this tattoo around my ankle. A lot of the work I've seen are larger areas or more exposed. Is there a chance of an artist looking down on this sort of ankle band? This tattoo and location would have extreme meaning for me so I really want to do it right. Another concern with a high profile artist is cost, is it possible to estimate that? I am not against travel but it is an additional factor.

Anyone come to mind?

Thank you Joe, I have been browsing the links you sent. Timothy has one piece of a thimble I really love. I wonder if anyone knows anyone who is more geometry orientated? Multiple fine lines creating complex shapes. Thanks again man.

Thank you for this. Amazing stuff. I am not very aware of what it out there which is why I came to LST. I would be willing to travel for the right person. It would be spectacular if this piece was done realistically, almost 3D. No color. Thanks again.

Hello Everyone, New to this site. I would really appreciate it if someone could recommend an artist in WI/MN/IL area. I have recently moved to Wisconsin from the East Coast and am not familiar with much out here. I would be willing to travel to Madison, Chicago, Minneapolis or near by for the right place. I am looking for this new piece to be a detailed work of intricate geometry with an essence of fantasy, gears, and locking mechanisms. If anyone knows someone who does work like this and could help give birth to my idea I would be truly grateful. That being said, I love all the great work I have seen on LST. Excellent art and input from all. Cheers everyone. -Xeno
