Been thinking about my next piece for a while, going to get a realistic tiger climbing a mountain on the better part of my back. Anyone have any recommendations for artists anywhere in between Illinois and Kentucky? I make the trip about once a month and want to find an awesome artist to finish this out.

I would like the tiger to look something like this one, except he will be climbing up my back.

EDIT: Image not working, gimme a sec

Off the top of my head I think Larry Brogan in Illinois but there’s probably more.

Here’s a few more, not sure how it works geographically but most of these are in Indiana. But without a doubt if you’re looking for a big, quality tattoo you’ve got to try to get with Brogan.

Awesome input guys, I really appreciate it. I’m going through their portfolios now and I’ve also got a few in mind but I’ll let you know when I decide and make the appointment. My old artist recommended a few further south in Tennessee and said it would be about 5 or 6 sessions to finish, so hopefully it happens soon!

His work is astonishing, and Lexington is 20 miles away from where I go to school. I am going to call his shop tomorrow and hopefully take a visit and I’ll let you know for sure what I decide

Just got done checking out Brogan, he has got some extremely amazing pieces as well, the only thing is he is about 150 miles north of my hometown in Illinois, and that’s excluding the drive through Chicago, but I don’t think that’s that far of a drive to get a well done tattoo, so I’ll give his shop a call tomorrow as well..

Thanks again guys, I really appreciate it

I forgot Nate Beavers works out of KY, he is world class!
Good luck, let us know how you make out.
