Been saving for some new ink, and my guy has left town! Now traveling won’t hold me back, but the in the bay area would be nicer., so who does the RFSO recommend? Oh yeah thinking on Japanese art style, Oni, in particular, and also looking for someone good at, flowers, birds, any style. |

i really like Gunnar's artwork and tattoo style. he is good friends with Craola, and his stuff is just plain sick. he tattoos down in southern california, but i know that he does travel now and again to do stints in other shops. you might hit him up and see what the deal is. i believe that his price is something like $150 an hour |

sorry, just read you are interested in japanese style. all of Gunnar's stuff is very character based. he does awesome animal characters and stuff, but it might not fit in with what you are after |

How does it work at a tattoo convention... do you cruise around and just make an appointment with the artists later in the day at the show? |

Juan Puente, Brian Burk, Bob & Charlie Roberts etc. |

Hit Temple Tattoo in Oakland, Black Heart Tattoo in SF, Everlating in SF, and Art Work Rebels in SF. Tim or Jeff at Black Heart would kill the ONI. Drive around and check out the different artists work. |

A few years ago I saw an article in the Face about people having half fingers removed being reported as a body modification trend. Then of course there are the people who believe they will not be complete unless they have a limb removed, and can be seen hanging around railroad tracks. |

Anyone know if Usugrow tattoos? His website has a link that says "skin" but it's never linked to anything. I would travel to Japan to get tattooed if he does. |
