[Newbi]

Wanted : Decent Tattooist Auckland area. And by Decent, I mean someone with actual artistic skills, ie, can actually design and sketch without the aid of stencils etc, After all anyone can colour in, we've all been doing that since we were littlies. Cheers.

Steve at Ballistic Tattoo - he has done both my sleeves and a lot of work on my back too. He can draw whatever you want. He either draws on paper to make a stencil or he can draw directly on you with a felt pen. I trust him so much that I have allowed him to tattoo freehand without any drawing - I have a japanese style sleeve and he scribbled on a round blob and some lines and tattooed the entire fish freehand, did the flowers this way too. Lovely guy, and I have been going to him for the last 12 years.

They have a website, but to be honest, his best work is not on there.

There used to be pics in my profile albums, but I took them down as it was a one time only viewing thing....

He can do anything - go and talk to him. If he can't, there are several other tattooists there, and they are all talented guys

tits or flaps?


Please god, let it be tits.


Ew Neither!! F--k that!:sick:

Do fishes have tits or flaps?
Can't be talking about mine, as tattooed sleeves are arms - I would be quite worried if I had anything like tits or flaps on my arms... I would be consulting a plastic surgeon.

Rene from Stained Skin is brilliant, he has done my brothers sleeve, which is a whole HR Giger piece, friggin awesome.

Checkout his work here: http://www.stainedskin.co.nz/Rene.html

The first image on the second row is my brothers arm. I'm getting some work from him in the next few weeks as is my girlfriend.

Shop around, heaps of awesome artists out there, go with who YOU feel comfortable with.

Cheers
J.

Just had the last 4 hours done of a 12 hour tattoo . The tattoo is a morepork, on my left upper arm. Tattooist was Liesje at The Tattooed Heart on K rd. I am very very happy with her work, might post pics once it heals.

Here is a link to her album: http://www.thetattooedheart.co.nz/artist/liesje/

I would fully recomend her, or any of the other artists at The Tattooed Heart.

Karla hansen is pretty cool. Used to be at streetwise in Newmarket, not sure if still there.

There does seem to be a lot of quality 'tooists around at the moment.
