Impressive Ink

Diceicle

Thought it might be good to have a thread to showcase some of the tattoo work from around the world that boards users think is impressive for whatever reason.
Might be a good way for dedicated tattooees to learn of "new" artists and for the casual tattooee to see what is possible within the realms of tattooing.
So without further delay:

Nikko Hurtado, US.



Dan Henk, US.



Magda Z, UK (Apprentice)

Dirk Gently

I never get tired of admiring this one.......

The Spiderman's by Dan Hazelton I think. Any idea who did the comic sleeve?

Galen McHatton, US

Soundman

Bez - Triplesix Studios - Sunderland, UK

Yeah, very talented couple. Apparently he/they only do large pieces and it approx $300 per hour.

Worth it though, world class.

Is that who that is? Now that you say it I can see it, I thought it was some artwork from a Black Metal album.

I've just been inspired. Damn I hate wanting other peoples tattoos, I wish I could come up with something impressive for myself!

They're by Amanda Wachob. She works out of Daredevil tattoo in the states, used to be a painter but has changed her medium to tattoo now. Its a strangely appealing style I think.

Will

It's very interesting, wonder how it will hold up over time, the ink i mean

Dancor

This is the best tattoo ive ever seen. I dont know who done it. I found it on bmezine a few years ago.

Scramble

I really like Szolt Sarkozi from Dark Art Tattoo in Budapest.





For Japanese style, I like Mo Coppoletta from The Family Business in London (I go over to him to get tattooed). This is an Oriental Tiger he did in a light blue, thought it was quite unusual.

Dragonz_Rawr

Oooooh - ink porn!!!!




Mike Cole


Reed Leslie at Hole Look

Will

Melion

I love that biomech sleeve.
