I have done a bit of googling but haven’t seen anything I’ve been enormously impressed with.

Does anybody have a list of the bests? And preferably some links to their work.

I’m not looking for someone to just produce a beautiful looking piece of work, but someone who can replicate almost an exact likeness. I’m prepared to pay anything for that, but the more it costs the longer I will need to wait and save up before booking the appointment. I will also travel any distance within the country but if it is very far I will have to leave it at least a year until my son is old enough to leave and travel away from for a full day as I’m his sole parents and previous experience has taught me young children and tattoo studios don’t mix well!

So to summarise, I’m not looking for an average ‘great artist’ who can pull off a nice piece. I’m looking for perfect or nothing for this, and a true specialist. Any advice?
