Dying to get some new ink, and this time go big, and pretty damn detailed (thinking Half Sleeve) but I need a reliable artist. Anyone know good shop in the Indianapolis area? I know of a guy right here in Bloomington (Colin and Skinquake) that does great work, but I always like options.

I don't know any shops offhand, but what kind of work are you getting, first of all?

Thinking old-school half sleeve, or something based on a really intricate design I found back home in NYC. This is why I want to make sure the guy does good detail work.

Hell I don't mind driving for a great tattoo. I've done 16 hours in one shot, solo, many times, no problem. I just want to keep the drive time low enough to allow for the work. Hell, I guess I could even stay overnight in a hotel if need be.
