need rec's for MI artists

hello all. I did a quick search and found some recommendations for artists in Michigan, but didn't find quite what I'm looking for. The suggestions (Tom Renshaw, Heggie, Zuck) are all AMAZING, but they don't specialize in the sort of tattoo that I want Can anyone suggest an artist that does bright, almost cartoony, "poppy" work? My ideal is Jime Litwalk (http://www.jimelitwalk.com/index.html) but he's far far away and a trip to Vegas isn't in the budget. Any help is greatly appreciated! My eyes are going crossed from the hours of searching I've been doing!

Jime has on his website that he'll be working the Hell City Convention in Ohio.Maybe try to get there to get work from him.Or see if he'll be a guest artist in any shops in Michigan in the future.I found some artists in Michigan to check out. www.myspace.com/kustomkulturetattoos Kevin www/myspace.com/chadstonetattoos www.chadstonetattoo.com myspace.com/moseisleys Shawn myspace.com/gzustattoo

Thanks for the links, I will check them out :) I emailed a few times with Jime re: the Ohio convention but he hasn't replied to my last email so I assume he's either booked up or isn't interested in doing my work. Bummer for me, I love his stuff!

Holy smokes, sorry for the multi-post!

Jeff Shea is good and does work like you seem to want. I think he's over at Wholeshot http://www.myspace.com/wholeshottattoo in Berkeley these days...

you should check out the hell city convention anyway because it is amazing! also you may find some other artists you like there! being willing to travel to get tattooed is a great thing to do, it really opens up the possibilities! in MI i recommend sean peters. http://www.myspace.com/sean_xaphan
