Hey guys, I know threads like these pop up everyday. But I was hoping some of you might be able to help me out. ive been browsing this forum for a couple months just looking around and reading and found it to be very helpful to me, i'm looking to get some pretty serious work done and have been researching artists and portfolio's for a while now.

I have a full sleeve theme idea planned, however I am looking for an artist with a perfect style to match what im looking for. the theme of the tattoo is on the darker/horror type stuff, with lots of shading and not a whole lot of color. I love Last Rites work, but theyre very exclusive and are on the opposite coast so thats kind of out of the question. But i'm looking for something along those lines. Ive sent messages to a couple guys who work/worked for Last Rites that now work out of the Socal area but cant seem to get responses from them which isnt surprising.

So if anyone can recommend me some great artists who specialize in this type of work I would really appreciate it, I feel like i'm running out of places to look, even after attending 2 tattoo expo's everyone is either not local or to busy it seems to get back to me on anything! So any input anyone can give me would be really appreciated! Thanks a ton for your time guys.
