Okay, so im looking to get my first tat in about a month and need some advice from people who have some experience. I love the look of traditional Japanese art and the huge message they portray.

The issue is that i dont want an artist who doesnt do asian themed art to do the work. Does anyone know of an artist who specializes in the asian art. Not only the artist, but could anyone give me a good recommendation of a shop in Chicago or around the ‘burbs’. The only thing i know is to stay away from Jade Dragon.

Please help out, greatly appreciated!
