Anyone know a good Tattoo artist?
| Message Board > General Chitchat > Anyone know a good Tattoo artist? |
| SickFuk User Info... | Unfortunately, me and my previous artist parted ways a while back.... but I'm really itching to get some more ink in me... I'm looking for an artist who really has a morbid sense of art... as in someone who does tattered flesh, rotting corpses and assorted other sick shit...and will actually enjoy the project... Lots of artists can and are willing to do that kind of shit... but only a few enjoy it.. oh and I'll buy a case of beer for anyone who's willing to tattoo a "S.I.C.K." logo across their forehead...{:) 'ere - Sat, 22 Jan 2005 10:38pm | ||
| Shaggy User Info... | Too bad my buddy Charlie only works on friends. You'd probably love his work. He did a whole shitload on my buddy Rene and most of them are pretty twisted. 1/2 rotted civil war soldiers, psychotic clowns, skulls ripping out through the muscle tissue with their bony 1/2 rotted fleshy hands etc. - Sat, 22 Jan 2005 11:01pm | ||
| SickFuk User Info... | Sounds like someone who I'd get along with... I've got dozens of tat's planned out... an example of one would be the half skeletal/tattered flesh Naga I want for my forearm I also want to get a bunch of my older work retouched.... I could sit in a tatty chair for the next 10 years... and still not be done.. but it's been too long... waaaaaay too long 'ere - Sat, 22 Jan 2005 11:07pm | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | Check out Mike at Stark Raving Tattoo. I think he'd love that kind of stuff plus he has a lighter touch and does excellent work. - Sun, 23 Jan 2005 3:29am | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Ya must check out Dustin at Pair-O-Dice tattoos in Market Square, he does the cleanest lines that I've seen. Out of all the work I've seen, his is probably the best work. Nuff said... - Sun, 23 Jan 2005 10:11am | ||
| ML7Mike User Info... | Mike Dick kicks ass. He can do a wide variety of styles and with 15 years or so of tatooing under his belt in this city you know you are getting good reputation and quality work. All my work is done by Mike with the exception of m y very first piece which was done by one of Mikes original mentors ( no, not Zane! ) - Sun, 23 Jan 2005 12:01pm | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | I've only heard this but Dustin may have a bit of a heavy hand. I got a G.C. for pair o dice for x-mas so I will figure it out for myself I'm sure. I've also seen some great work by him. Mikes wife Sandy has done my good tattoo (we won't talk about the other...) but I've seen too many amazing tats come out of his shop. Yes, Mike Dick does kick some ass... - Sun, 23 Jan 2005 1:24pm | ||
| Mystery Geust User Info... | Dustin from Pair o dice does really awesome work. He did my tattoo of santa clasuse wrestling an octopus. Once again Dustin ROCKS hard on the tattoo gun. - Sun, 23 Jan 2005 2:20pm | ||
| SickFuk User Info... | I might just have to check this Dick out 'ere - Sun, 23 Jan 2005 2:22pm | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | You should see the work Mike Dick did on Bubba. you'd probably love it. Mike must still have pics of those. - Sun, 23 Jan 2005 4:02pm | ||

| ML7Mike User Info... | "You should see the work Mike Dick did on Bubba.." And that was years ago! - Sun, 23 Jan 2005 4:50pm | ||
| Eurydice User Info... | Go to Spitfire. They have good prices and I was amazingly happy with the result. - Sun, 23 Jan 2005 5:00pm | ||
| Dr.DoomXXX User Info... | I have to cast my vote for Dustin too, he did one on my arm that involved a barbwire noose and when tattooing the knot part the stencil came off but it wound up looking perfect anyway. PLUS all touch ups are free :) \m/ - Sun, 23 Jan 2005 5:19pm | ||
| Kimberleykaos User Info... | mmmmm....me likey Dustin....oh what? He does tattoo's? Seriously some of the best work I've seen... - Sun, 23 Jan 2005 10:43pm | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | Ya Mike that was years ago that bub got his work but it sounds like it's right up SickFuks dark frightening alley. And if I'm not mistaken Gerry Kramer did his appreintiship (sp) with Mike Dick. He is quite good himself. - Sun, 23 Jan 2005 10:50pm | ||
| SickFuk User Info... | "dark frightening alley" got a nice ring to it I suppose... although that draws up many connitations to me.... But so far, I've got Mike Dick... and Dustin at Pair O Dice... they both sound promising... any other good nominies who might have that "gore obscessed" kinda attitude to them I'm actually watching a documentary on tattooing right now on TLC... it's been pretty cool... they explored Maurie[sp], Aboriginal and a bunch of other styles... including the North American edge on "permanent artistic expression"... but the tribal shit looked just a "little" more painful...{:)... think I'll stick to a regular gun Cheerz for all the replies though....

| lunchbox User Info... | i think the best thing to do would be to go to all the shops in town, look at thier portfolios, adn talk to them. a lot of people like to do that kind of tattooing, but not all of them do it all that well. just check everyone out and make a desision drom there, or you could just go to new york and get paul booth to do it. http://darkimages.com/enter.asp - Mon, 24 Jan 2005 11:40am | ||
| SickFuk User Info... | Paul Booth...... if only I had that kind of money 'ere - Mon, 24 Jan 2005 12:01pm | ||
| jackass User Info... | I like Jeff @ Urge...he's done good work for me and fun to talk to. - Mon, 24 Jan 2005 12:08pm | ||
| Dr.DoomXXX User Info... | Oh what, all of a sudden Flee's too good for the rake? I'll rake a S.I.C.K. tattoo in my forehead for a case of beer. ( warning, that might just be drunk talk ) - Mon, 24 Jan 2005 4:39pm | ||
| Kimberleykaos User Info... | Paul Booth is my all-time fav and fuck is he evil... My brothers ex used to live with him and Phil Anselmo...but he does the most amazing work...check out the site if you haven't seen it. http://www.darkimages.com I'd love to get him under my skin, but the travel and cost to actually do it is excessive... - Mon, 24 Jan 2005 5:22pm | ||

| Gracie User Info... | Dennis at Universal is amazing too. I won't let anybody else touch me with a needle ever again. - Mon, 24 Jan 2005 9:23pm | ||
| Kimberleykaos User Info... | Is that Bob's son - if so I agree. Bob did most of mine...but they tend to get "the tude" down there, especially if god forbid you have another piece done by someone else. I've heard them slam terribly about other shops, even just customers who are trying to get some shop knowledge. I won't support them anymore because of that, and it's too bad cause I wanted to try out Kim for my next grafitti piece. - Mon, 24 Jan 2005 9:32pm | ||
| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | I've got one from Stark Raving Mike and five from Dustin. Both are topknotch! You think Dust has a heavy hand now? You should have got one a few years ago. I thought that thing was gonna start showing through the other side of my arm! He's way better now! - Mon, 24 Jan 2005 11:26pm | ||
| Kimberleykaos User Info... | Which of yours did Dustin do? - Mon, 24 Jan 2005 11:44pm | ||
| Kimberleykaos User Info... |  | ||
| SickFuk User Info... | hehe, not bad... but not enough blood for me...{:) 'ere - Tue, 25 Jan 2005 1:52am | ||

| samhain User Info... | Unless you're going to pierce your groin, save your 60 bucks and do it yourself. Doesn't take much talent to pierce. - Thu, 27 Jan 2005 12:37pm | ||
| Isolation Ride User Info... | The Paul Booth site rocked.My buddy was as good or if not better than him until he decided to see satan first class by jamming a shotgun in his mouth. - Sat, 29 Jan 2005 7:53pm | ||
| Kimberleykaos User Info... | What a waste, sorry to hear that. But no, he could not have been AS good...but there are some very talented peeps out there. - Sat, 29 Jan 2005 8:08pm | ||
| Isolation Ride User Info... | How many you have? - Sat, 29 Jan 2005 9:45pm | ||
| Kimberleykaos User Info... |  You'd never guess one of my worst fears was needles would ya??!! - Sat, 29 Jan 2005 10:20pm | ||
| Kimberleykaos User Info... | And yes, my hair looks grey there cause I accidentally dyed it blue and the top was blonde...oops. Now it's just black/purple. AND I'M NOT TRYIN' TO FLASH MY BOOBS THERE as Jay accused me of once, I was trying to show the tatty. - Sat, 29 Jan 2005 10:24pm | ||
| SickFuk User Info... | "You might as well face it you're addicted to ink" I really need to come up with some money for more ink 'ere - Sat, 29 Jan 2005 10:28pm | ||
| Kimberleykaos User Info... |  Yeah right, I wish...I have a design all ready to go when I can. Soon...soon...and then I will wimper like the pussy that I am... - Sat, 29 Jan 2005 10:30pm | ||
| SickFuk User Info... | WOOHOO!!!!! [stripping down and jumping in the chair] "Let 'er rip!" 'ere - Sat, 29 Jan 2005 10:34pm | ||
| Kimberleykaos User Info... | Strippin down? Tee hee...just pictured you strippin in yer place listening to your sped up tunes...alright, maybe it was just a funny visual to me... - Sat, 29 Jan 2005 10:49pm | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... |  Not that it's not a perfectly adorable sweater... It's not like the tat is on your leg and you're wearing nothing but a thong. Am I giving enough imagination fodder for the guys out there? I need to get one started and I'm a little idealess in that way right now. Ho hum. - Sun, 30 Jan 2005 12:07am | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | and way before anyone has the chance to say it, yes, this IS what I do on a Sat night. I'm cool:> - Sun, 30 Jan 2005 12:33am | ||
