I need a new tattoo artist. Any recommendations? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I'm from Allentown, PA area, but willing to drive a distance to get a great artist.

The place I got my first tattoo did a horrible job, and word of mouth about the places around me aren't positive at all.

thanks
Ben

what are you trying to get?

bencollinz · 06-12-2007, 06:52 PM

semi-intricate celtic knotwork - not tribal; and a bright, vivid green ink that won't fade after a damn week. lol.
i already have it drawn myself, so they just have to copy it, ya know

tattoo marks in souderton. frank or mark are incredible. you could even try the gallery of living arts in lansdale on cannon ave. both places iv been to and very happy with the results.

I got mine done at The Inkwell in Southampton. Guy named Rich did it. Great guy, did excellent work. Of course my tattoo is the size of a dollar coin, but whatever. I'm going back there very soon for my next one...

Steel city does some very amazing work!!!

My boy used to go to steel city, but I think the artist he was cool with there left

Snoozie · 06-13-2007, 10:01 AM

Sean or Tara @ Phenomabomb Tattoo. They both do great work. Me and 2 other members (that i know of) have gotten tattoos from them. They are in Quakertown on 309. They both used to work at Inkwell in Southampton.

Buster · 06-13-2007, 10:20 AM

I would second Phenomabomb tatoo also except that you are looking for celtic style so I would PM Zerioustt about his. his is very very intricate and phenomabomb is more of asian art. They can do it, but you would be waiting a loooooong time to get it.

1990 shadow vnt · 06-13-2007, 01:30 PM

Althea at.....
Sink-the-ink in Willow Grove.
She used to be at inkwell but is now at this place in Willow Grove.
She is good.

Apparently The Inkwell is the place to work for a while and then leave haha.

Here is the only shop you need to know about:
Philadelphia Eddie's ChinaTown Tattoo
904 Arch St. Philly, 215-440-9997 www.chinatowntattoos.com

i would get a tat from any of the 5 guys who work there, all are great artists and each has an area or genre of tattooing in which they excel. all my tats came from chinatown, and i will not go anywhere else
