I have been piecing together a big Japanese project in my head now for years. i think i finally know enough specifics about what i want to get it started. unfortunatly i have had a lot of bad tattoo expieriences thus far. im looking for a list of guys that can do some good oriental work. i dont care about price if it is what i want in the end. which is what i have had a hard time getting in the past.

i looked at Larrys stuff in lockport and though he is an AMAZING artist, his style of Jap work just isnt what im looking for. i want a real athentic style with just a few minor tweeks i have floating around in my brain.

the only other suggestion i got from someone was tim biedron from deluxe tattoo. theres only one piece of jap work in his portfolio but its more in line with what im looking for.

thanks for the help. i really want to get this big project underway before summer gets here!

i know someone who has been waiting to get in with Guy Atchison for almost a year.

I wonder if Hannah for LA Ink travels home to work when they are not shooting. she is great.
