Hi guys,
So long story short:
I have had my eyes on a few different tattoo artists from my country for quite a while now. And I figured, that if I get around to actually getting something done at one point it would probably be from one of those three. The problem is that I’ve always had a hard time picking one over the other as my favourite. And so I thought that maybe I could sneak out a few second opinions on their respective work from you guys!
Anyways – Here are the contestants!
The first one is Sabine from The Boulevard Tattoo/SocialClub

The second one is Line Marielle from Iron & Ink – Courtesy of Peterpoose’s Braglist.. 😉

And the last one is Tony from Bright Side Tattoo

Aaaaaaaand… Go!
Hmm.. Well I’m considering something with realistic cogwheels of some sort. Not bio-mech, just utilising plain ol’ cogs. Maybe with a bit of spiderweb or a rose or two.
I’m not sure though. One could incorporate it into something bigger I guess, and I did briefly consider what could be done in the genre of steampunk, but then again that seems to me like an idea that’s popular these days, but goes in and out of style on a regular basis, even though it can look pretty awesome. Whereas I’d like this to stand the test of time as well as a tattoo can do just that. 🙂 I don’t know if you can envision something like that, haha.

I spent nearly 10 years as a stationary engineer in a hospital power plant. That and during my railroad experience I’ve seen some pretty fucking awesome machinery.
I had thought about tattoos along those lines myself. I’m now thinking of a 20,000 leagues under the sea theme to tie all my time warped tattoos together.
Cog wheels are cool particularly when connected to cable spools and pulleys.
Keep us posted.

20.000 leagues under the sea definately sounds like an idea with some potential to it. Lots of cool stuff to find in deep sea motifs. 🙂
Haha, my grandpa used to be an engineer aswell.
@Buttwheat, I guess you’ve got a point. Tony does some cool stuff, but I can’t decide whether his style would be too quirky for me. :p
Denmark, huh?
Well.. Line Marielle is very talented, but she has only been tattooing for about a year yet, and personally I’d be worried about how it heals. She has yet to see any of her work actually healed for more than a few months, and I personally wouldn’t get realistic work from her.. She’s just been guest spotting in my town, and I know she does beautiful work, but I’d still be skeptical of someone that new, and who’s been declared done with their apprenticeship in a year. But then again, I’m awfully skeptical of all hyper realism and believe most of it is gonna look like shit in max 5 years… :p
As for the other two. Sabines work seems to have some great depth, as well as a lot of variety, which is always good.
I’d personally go with Tony, I think his work is the most artistic, with good technique, creativity and variety. More my style. But all three are good artists!

Denmark indeed!
Ah, thanks a lot. I hadn’t even considered that about Line. Worth giving it some thought!
