Nick Baxter...I'm not sure where he is, but he's a fucking AMAZING artist, and hella vegan and into animal rights, if you care about that kind of thing.

ZEKE MOTHERFUCKING OWEN! :worship: i have no idea where he is right now, but he is one of the famous 4, one of the best artists around. been doing it for about 55-60 yrs now. i'm fortunate enough to have a couple of pieces by him.

Tim Pangburn - Art Machine Productions, Philadelphia PA

Solid work, bold outlines, wicked color and some of the sickest cover-ups I have ever seen. He also owns and runs the shop himself so the price is worth what you get in return.

Chronic Tattoo- Pacific Beach, CA.
Doc's Tattooz- Marathon, FL

Joy at Junkyard Ink in Louisville, CO. I hate the shop though...the owner is a douche and they are constantly changing artists...even though they are all good. I wish she still did shit at her house lol.
