This is just in the USA. My top 6 not in any particular order


Dave Fox www.evilballs.com

Punk rock folk legends and originality. Dave Fox is fucked in the head. And I thank him for that.

Kore Flatmo www.plurabella.com

THE artist that show's us that color and B&G look like they are made to exist together in a tattoo. Harmony.

Dana Helmuth
www.solidstatetattoo.com

His tattoos almoust look like they would be falling a part, when infact they are just getting a blow job from mother universe. A sweeet and loooong blow job. And he also smells like pancakes...

Grime www.grimemonster.com

He once said he thought that he would change tattooing when infact it changed him. And that is what makes him one of the best that has ever lived.

Chris Trevino www.christrevino.com

Clean and colorful as hell. Seems like all of his stuff would be connected.


And then I just couldnt decide. Take your pick

Glad I could help. I've seen them at a couple shows this past year. You can call and check to see if they'll be at any near you this year.
