No one tattooist is good at all aspects. Exactly the same as any artist everyone has things they are good at and not so good at.
Personally I'd take a recommendation for someone who is good at portrait work then go and have a look at their work yourself.
Look at the portraits theve done of famous people so you can see of they are able to get a true likeness. Nearly every tattooist has fb page or websites showing their work.
do some research even contacting the ones you like. Most will be happy to have a chat about what you want.
I like to feel comfortable with my tattooist and know that he knows me enough to listen to what I want.
Art is a personal thing so go for what you like not what others recommend x

he is very good in all aspects and wouldnt class him self as a certain tattoo artist as he is amazing at everything he does...all his work is his own and he tattoo's in conventions and in a magazine.. hope you find what your looking to get and i really do advise giving him a call and to look at his work...the shop is in swansea under the name of new age tattoo studio.. |
