Looks like Jondix to me.

While there are artists that can do this style, Jondix is my favorite and regarded as one of the best at this style.

I appreciate the feedback. I guess i should start dropping names.

Its weird cause initially i knew exactly what i wanted and got it…(the stuff im now lasering)
Now i just want to let great artists do great work that they really want to do.

One artist told me name dropping works. He said if he knows a potential client has work from a friend or someone he admires, he wants to tattoo them.

Each artist handles bookings and consults differently. Some have a person screen clients, some screen with auto reply emails, some state on their site they are not currently taking new clients, some just don’t reply if they are too busy or not interested.

If you are willing to give the artist free reign that should help. Good to be a popular in demand artist.

I hear ya Peter. Good points.

You have some of the most incredible tattoos I have ever scene. I have to believe in addition to artistic talent, experience has to be a factor. Your choices of artists are the best of the best.

Thanks, that is useful information.

I’m fascinated with highly detailed tattoos. I probably should be looking into buying highly detailed art like sketches, prints, paintings, etc.. Mediums that will hold and maintain the detail better than living, aging skin.

Depends on the artist and their experience as well. Some newbies make extremely detailed tattoos that look like shit after 2 years, some very experienced and talented artists make the most detailed, realistic pieces that look good after 10 years. Hyper realism is fairly new, only a few have been doing it for more than 5-6 yrs or so, so it’s kinda hard to tell!

Anil Gupta has been around for a while. I’ve seen some amazingly detailed biomechanical and Giger tattoos by him. Really wish I could some how see they have aged.

Welcome to the forum!

I think a lot has to do with the way you take care of your tattoos.

I put sunscreen and moisturizer on with a miniature paint roller.

Keep tattoos moisturized and out of the sun and they, as well as your skin, will look good for a very long time.

Paint roller ?

Anyway, I know keeping away from sun and using moisturizer will help all tattoos and skin look better, but skin does age, wrinkle and stretch, no matter what you do. And supposedly tattoo lines do get thicker and blur as a result of ink and skin aging.

I’m 49, my new tattoos don’t look as good on my skin as they would if I was 20, but then again, when I am 59 my tattoos will only have 10 yrs. of aging.

Guess what I am really asking is does anyone have or has seen a very detailed tattoo age well ?

I’ve found correspondence with artists a little unpredictable. Quick, slow, no response at all. I’m know the popular ones get tons of emails and I think they each deal with it in a different way.

The only thing that is official for me at the moment is James Tex at the Summit Convention! Super excited as the line up of that convention is insane.

Also have Victor Portugal but we haven’t set a date yet. He asked me to go to Poland the same weekend as the Bay Area Tattoo Convention so I couldn’t do it.

Nikko Hurtado is tattooing me, I think, at ink n iron but we haven’t set dates 100%.

Verbal commitment from: Adrian Lee, Grime, Domantas.

EDIT: revolving appointments with Jess Yen, Robert Pho, Carlos Torres

Holy cow, you’ve got some real super stars there.

I have the below tattoo on the front of my thigh just above the knee cap. It’s based on a carved wooden mask of a Bali goddess.

I want to expand on the tattoo adding something on the side of my thigh and maybe a little above. Don’t want to go down the leg.

I contacted the original artist, but he has not responded yet. Not really sure what would look good next to this. Maybe some negative space and then shading to a geometric or ornamental design ?

Thanks, I used 5 different artists. NYC has so many good artists, I want to take advantage of the opportunity.

For my next tattoo I am considering a color B&G mix, but have to discuss it with the artist. My skin is tan so I am concerned colors might look muted.

Wifey is pretty firm and does have a good point that I should not rush things. I can sometimes be impulsive and I keep seeing tattoos that give me new ideas. For example there are some really good realism artists in NYC and I also recently saw some artists styles that I like such as Jess Yen, Tony Mancia, Khuong Nguyen.

LST site is large, so there definitely is a lot of good information to be found.

Yeah, like most forums, some members are very blunt, single minded and impatient with new people, but I’ve also gotten very good advice.

I tried to post pics of my tattoos, but the post needs mod approval. I do have pics in my album/gallery.

I like what I’ve seen on this board. More discussions on modern styles and artists.

Thanks.

I like your woman/mask tattoos.

My tattoos are all scuba related. Scuba skull, marine animals and a wood carved mask I got on a scuba trip in Bali.
