Amazing tattoos
Possibly the best tattoo artist on earth. Not one of my sites, but a friend of a friend. I just wanted to share his work with you.

I was a tattoo apprentice.
I designed tattoos, prepped clients, talked customers into getting what was right for their body form and style (sold tats), made needles, took care of hazardous waste (blood mostly... sometimes puke), cleaned the toliets, ran to the store, got lunch, ... basicly was their slave.
I know all the ins and outs of the business though.

Pretty cool, I've never done tattoos, but I used to be a piercing fan. Your friend does really good work.

The spider tattoo is SO cool! You can see depth in it, 3D. Especially when you compare the legs with the torso.

Really good stuff.
I found Jacki Randell looking for some Celtic tattoos - she is an amazing artist.
If any of you have any Irish tattoos or knows of any artists feel free to give me a shout as I need more outbound tattoo links - an image would be a bonus.

I like the tattoos at http://tattoos-the.com. They don't look like your daddy's tattoos and some would be hard to do with a tattoo gun, but are a good place to start from. I have one based on the radial tattoo designs (first one on the left).

Just for the record, I'm not posting my black cause i think it 'Amazing' or anything... And that work above, at hyperspacestudios, is certainly that. It takes an actual artist to do that kind of work and they are hard to find in this industry. Too many scratchers and diggers.

Well, this design is a two part symmetrical one. So two sleeves. That's both arms from the wrists to the shoulders and tying them into the two I already have on each shoulder. I have plenty more needing to be done and finished, like around my waist, my back... My left leg.
Of the arm you see, I've had three different artists working on it. The lastest artist will be completing it then trasnfering it all over to my right arm.
