tattooist referral

2 messages · last activity 9/26/2007

hi all, i am planning on getting a coat of arms tat on my left arm, in black and grey ink. i am looking for a realistic style tat, with great shading. i had a consultation with carlos torres of socal tattoo on this idea. the consultation went well, but i have to wait until next august for the actual tat appointment. i am now considering another consultation by somebody else, as i don't know if i want to wait til next august. i have looked at many artists' online portfolios, a couple look decent, but i want my tat to be kick ass. do you guys know of any tattooists in the los angeles area that might be a good fit for this tat. thanks for your help in advance.
i have gotten a couple pieces from jen and josh davis over at outer limits tattoo in orange, ca. aside from being spectacular artists they both are truly awesome people. they are usually only booked out 3-4 months. look them up: www.outerlimitstattoo.com, they are in the orange location. if you do end up setting up an appt. tell them bill w. (with the dog tags) mentioned them, i told them i would try and give as many shout outs as possible since they gave me such great artwork on my body.
