My work is done by a few artist that are very prominent in the tattoo buisness here in the U.S.
Huck Spalding, I was lucky enough to meet at a tattoo convention in N.Y. and he took me on even though he was semi retired to his tatto supply buisiness. Top notch work that has really stood up to time, the ink looks practically as good as when it was done. Philip Leiu, Who is actually world renouned did much of the Japanese work. Real head turning stuff that has won quite a few prizes in contest at conventions. Paul Booth, who I had to fill out an application and wait a couple of years to get him to work on me he's so busy. I have to say, when he took me on he really commited himself and gave me many hours. The art is very dark and disturbing, mostly all black ink and I had little say in what he created but trusting him was a given. I also have won quite a few contests with these masterpieces done by a very strange man. And Anil Gupta who I just saw on Ripley's Believe it or Not just the other day, man was I exited to see him on TV. In the East Village in N.Y. this guy from India worked on me for so many hours over a period of time. The detail in his designs is really top, top of the line. It all has gotten to be very expensive, (like buy a house expensive) but it's positively worth it. I recoup some moneys from contests at conventions, I've been paid for pictures in magazines and books, and the attention is priceless.Peace.
