Fist 666 Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 of course its subjective, but it makes for good conversation. i'm surprised that wes mantooths list did not include hiroyoshi, filip leu, or shige. or several others. but i understand why his list is what it is.

Wes Mantooth Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Whoops, Mike's question was "Who are the top 5 guys you would get tattooed by" not so much best in the world or something, so I considered availability and distance too. Notice that I named all dudes in the USA (GO AMERICA!). Anyway, fuck, 10 top? That's tough. I'm interested to see what menaceIIsobriety thinks... If I can guess, it'll be something like: 1. Aaron Coleman 2. Higgs 3. Tim Lehi 4. Danny Reed 5. Richard Stell 6. Bob Roberts 7. Steve Byrne Blah... I bet I wasn't even close. The point is... There are so many good god damn tattooers out right now. I've always known that, and after reading KOH's "Open letter to tattooing" I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. Will Lollie, Issac Fainjuken, Mario Desa, Horiyasu, Matt Shammah.... ugh... the list goes on and on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SystemFailure Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 These awesome messicans came through my work today. One of em had an awesome sleeve of prison tattoos. Full color. And not awesome cuz they were shitty these things were awesome. Best one was for his buddy Elco. Was a Grim reaper wielding a scythe cutting through the air. Elco shot himself in the head the day after he got out while this guy was in prison. Got a letter and it said "I'll see you my friend" This guy then says "And when he sees me we'll have something to laugh about cuuuuz I'll have his FUCKIN NAME ON MY ARM MAAAN AHHAHA" Didnt get any pictures unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't look like kitchen work, but it didn't Exactly look like shop work either, lots of single Needle guitar string pointillism shit. It was pretty amazing. Said he paid 100 bucks For all of it and it took about 10 years, back, sleeves, And chest. Also I saw a met a guy who said he was tattooed by tatts Thomas. I'll post those when I'm not lazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
