Hey guys.

There is a tattooist here in Iceland called Svanur, which I was checking out and thought I’d ask your opinions.

His portrait work is (to me) brilliant, but the common negative I hear about him is that he uses ‘weird’ colors in his color pieces. Perhaps he’s just too abstract for some people’s tastes. I’d probably get him to do some B/G on me so the color issue is not necessarily a worry, but I’d like to hear your views on his talents.

I’m going to the Icelandic Tattoo Festival tomorrow (and sunday too) and he will be one of the guys there, so hopefully I’ll see some awesome pieces in the making.

4 galleries (including his artwork) here:
