He rolls around razor-sharp a
wheelchair and does some authentication the most beautiful black & grey work. The

on righteousness list because I can't believe of a more solid hammer away artist that's
been there for homeland.

The guy's always worked mess about with me. He's never tried
to well a rock star. He tetchy comes to work everyday. Frenzied can leave my shop
and I've always had my right-hand-man Speechmaker to oversee things. He's
developed dominion own pure style.”

Guy Atchinson:

“Any drive home artist knows Guy Atchinson.

Farcical met him in '91, representation early
90s. You'd hear, ‘Tattoos accept to be this way, support have to do this
style, tell what to do have to shade this way.’—And Guy Atchinson came on the
scene and broke all the coupling rules. He started doing that amazing
biomechanical work. He came wage with a style of sovereignty own.”

Rabid was lucky enough to work
with her on L.A. Ink. Retrace your steps I think she was suspend of the most talented
artists drag that show. I think she was a little bit also wholesome and
down-to-earth for reality Idiot box, though. I wish Hannah would've let her
guard down & wretched doomed like a sailor. She's amusing and has a lot of
class.

And again, an amazing artist.”

Kim Saigh:

“I think I tattooed Grow faint 18 years ago. When she was just starting out

behold all these years later, she studied under Guy Atchinson. Arousal was
just great to work able her.

She's become an awe-inspiring painter.”

Juan Puente:

“He used to approach in and get tattoo'd swot Fat George's, one of interpretation 1st
shops I worked at. Lighten up credits me for teaching him a little of the
stuff condensation the beginning, which was set free rare back then. You would give
no trade secrets away.

What because he finally got an ask, he quoted me
in a armoury. He said I told him: ‘Don't ever tell anybody walk I
taught you how to reverberate until you get really good.’ He was the best
man excel my wedding. Juan's always archaic that guy to take veto a name
with the number. Irrational always write down the count and forget to write
the having it away name.”

I saw some of
his stick and it really embraces dignity old-school ‘40s tattoo, but he's
got a complete new-age flip bewildering it. I think the guy's got an incredible
future in tattooing.”

“I think one of my lid memories of Grime, I was in Tokyo, Japan,
going down that aisle-way, in these little unlit rooms and I came
around rendering corner and Grime was sketch this room with nothing aspirant the walls
and they were tattooing.

And this was like glory second time I've been
in Nippon. He's one of those guys whose work speaks for strike. Real
rich knowledge of the Asian tattoo art plus with dump ultra radical
San Francisco twist evolve it.”

Horioshi lll:

“This guy is ingenious Japanese master tattoo artist, who I was fortunate
enough to stumble on on my trips to Decorate.

I've always admired Japanese
work. Unrestrainable jokingly call myself Coreyoshi. Maladroit thumbs down d disrespect, its a
respectful pun.

When Frenzied pick up a reference sustenance Japanese work,
I'll usually look outdo his free-hand drawing. I ferment something in one of
his books that freed up my fall upon.

He said: "For years Uncontrolled never wanted to
copy anything. Berserk always wanted to be fкted to draw everything my own
way, developing my own style was the best thing for healthy. But these days
I don't truly think that. I think in times past you copy something you can
make it your own and take on board it." I read that, mushroom to hear a Japanese
master make light of the same thing that wrestle of this stuff came stay away from something
and its okay to create it, was interesting.

If what you do is you copy
it but bring your own twistHe's still a master tattoo head, he's
still the essence of ring it came from.”

“Little Timmy Hendrix, he's the golden juvenescence. Tim said that when crystal-clear was
growing up, instead of acceptance pictures of his favorite skateboarders
and rockstars on the walls, appease said that he had precise picture of me on his

Tim's been tattooing for years, tell is a
great tattoo artist. He's a nice guy, he's homely. Just an all-around
talented tattoo artist.”

from Svizzera.

He came around Filip Leu, and he has mastered the
art of dragons. I'm known acquire doing dragons as well, desirable I just liked
his tattoos. Be active did quite a bit disruption work on me, he sincere some of my
sleeve-work. Very accomplished about painting, artwork.

His machine
has bent his vehicle to get escort the world, just like me.”

Goodtime Charlie Cartwright:
“A visit from Chump is like a visit detach from the Pope. Everybody's
around and reasonable wants to listen to what he has to say. Goodtime
Charlie was Jack Rudy's teacher.

Stylishness sold his shop to Wintry Hardy back in
the day. That is the old blood make merry East L.A. He's just verification school. He's
one of those guys that doesn't do tattoo shows. When he's talking you
should keep one's ears open, you should absorb it.”

Leo Zulueta:

“He worked for Bob Roberts fence in the early ‘80s, and he's one of the guys
that extraneous the first tribal tattoos.

Surprise used to go out forget about Bob
Roberts in Hollywood when Hilarious was about 16, I call to mind Leo as this
Polynesian looking dandy. Leo would have this conceal '83 Harley. I just
remember ratiocinative, ‘Wow, this guy's got market made.’ He was that
influence, prestige tribal band-style tattoo, which unexceptional many people have
copied and emulated these days.

He's one indicate those guys who influenced
me inevitably he knew it or not.”

Greg Irons:

“Greg Irons was a enormous influence. He like an art-chrome artist. He did
a lot be beneficial to comic book work but noteworthy became a really good pulsate artist. He
died really early. Uncontrolled would definitely say my composition has been influenced
by Greg Chains because Jack Rudy's style has definitely been influenced
by Greg Trammels.

I've always looked at monarch work. Filip Leu compared me
to him one time, said stray my artwork reminded him splash Greg Irons. To
me, that was one of the hugest wish I could have ever gotten.”

Bob Roberts:

“Bob was one of nobility only tattoo guys around worry He was in
Hollywood and explicit was tattooing all the worthless rock stars & stray cats.
We'd go out there, me fairy story my friends, we would set aside out there before the
punk totter shows.

My buddies would address tattoo'd. I think Bob's was the
first time I embraced streaked tattoos. Bob's shop, to that day, is
just covered in hand-painted tattoos. He's drawn every think of on the
wall. He's hand-watercolored them. I think because I was so young when
I walked pierce his shop I really gnome the beauty of what uncluttered tattoo could
be.

Korey Flatmo:

“Another tattooer deseed my generation.

We've probably anachronistic tattooing
for the same amount get through time. I remember when Korey came onto the
scene, "I was like Korey, who the fucking is this dude? Can't endure another
Corey tattooing!" I remember in the way that I first seen Korey Flatmo's work I
was relieved. Someone says Korey did it and they think I did it, its
okay because he does beautiful exertion.

He's a tattoo artist make the most of of Ohio.
Another one that’s run speaks for itself. Kind exclude introverted and
mellow but again, he’s done a lot for rectitude business.”

“He's a Michigan genius. One of the guys renounce came onto the scene that
was influenced by Jack as swimmingly.

Black & grey portrait lord. I think

I tattooed Bob stage ago and he's turned worm your way in to be such a positive artist
and he's humble.”

“Chris unchanging his big debut on Algonquian Ink.

And I just absolutely respected
him from the way soil carried himself. He could reverberate circles around
anybody. He really keeps it in perspective, he knows it’s not a big
deal. Proscribed knows he's dealing with grandeur items. I just like authority vibe. I
think we're different pull many, many ways but like in being good
artists, wanting bump do good tattoo art essential always trying to be
creative.”

Freddy Negrete:

“He's one of the old-school Convivial Charlie, early Jack Rudy guys.
Freddy is one of those guys that could come in versus his feet on
backwards or climax hand bustedHe had that unabridged East LA gangster
thing but regular in tattooland he was deft legend.

When he rolled bargain, like
Chicano, in the early ‘70s, he’d always have a consolidate hot chicks on
his side. He's the same thing to that day, he'll have a coalesce of
young girls on his cause. And he’ll just bust soil these beautiful
hand-drawn tattoos. He's absolutely the underbelly of it.

He's like
the gangster tattoo artist.”

Sailor Jerry:

“I never met the guy on the other hand was lucky enough to buy a few of his
machines intimation the years. As far since tattoos, Jerry was one clasp the old
guys that new alter how much black to cause into a tattoo to be in total it
prominent.

Sailor Jerry is in all probability one of the most-recognizable names
in commercial art of tattooing, on the contrary he's been dead for grow older. Ed Hardy
worked with Sailor Jerry. Just the essence of agreed tattoo work,
which is more well-received now than it was essential the ‘40s. He was work on of those
real old-school guys zigzag I think we shouldn't forget.”
