I am looking to finish up a 3/4th sleeve , my right arm is colored and i want to have my left arm just black and grey.
I was just curious what your guys/gals opinions are on the absolute best artist in mi..in the southeast southwest part of mi...im near ann arbor. so im willing to drive an hour or so away to get a good artist.
Im already trying to get an apt with tom renshaw. is there anyone else out there that just does amazing work? i want to get my forearms tattooed but i want to make sure its done amazingly well...

My coworker (tattoo artist) is formerly of Kalamazoo, MI, and suggests Jay Wheeler (Whole Shot Tattoo, Detroit) for black & gray, Jeff Zuck (Ann Arbor) for color, or Shawn Peters (Splash of Color Tattoo, East Lansing) for color. And Bob Tyrell, of course, as the last person suggested.
thanks for the suggestions!! i actually went to nb tattoo for the upper sleeve ive got done. i want to get diff artist to finish it up. I got bill fallsetta...i believe that's spelt correct. hes an awesome dude. very charismatic. and made me feel very comfortable. I want to get jeff zuck to do some more colored work. and some of the suggestions you guys named seems realy good. I just want whatever on my forearms to be very good since itll be so visible. since itll be a full sleeve...i started off just wanting a half sleeve but said f*ck it ha and want a full sleeve.
my left arm is gonna be all black and grey though I believe. than my chest will be a bit of a mix. just taking my time with them. I only have 2 tats but they pretty much cover up my entire upper right arm. tom renshaw seems to be the dude i really want to get some work done. i got some wild life scene ideas ...and he seems like the man for it. ive been calling and he seems to be BACKED up ha. so it may take a month or so to get into him. so i my as well work on my other arm while im at it. jeff could prolly get me in , in the next week or so.
The best artist I found is in Otsego, MI near Grand Rapids... Her name is Raven... Most of my tattoos are black/grey and she is awasome... You can look at her stuff at tattoosbyraven.com... I also have had color tattoos by her... I live in Alaska now and I schedule trips to MI just to have her tattoo me.
tom renshaw finnallly called me back ha. looks like it may talk months before i can get into him for some work.
any other ideas of people that are very well known that are not backed up for 6 months?? ha.
