LOVE Been pondering a tattoo for a while...

[StopDrop&LOL]

I am looking for a good, traditional/old school tattoo artist within relative distance (~75 miles).

I have narrowed it down to a few places, but I just wanted OT's thoughts on which of the three you would recommend based on their work.

Personally I'd travel the 45 mins to Margate, FL and see Nate at True Love. http://truelovetattoostudio.com/ Amazing tattooer who I used to work with and an all around awesome dude. Tell him I sent you and you'll be sure to hear some ridiculous stories.

Out of those 3 you posted I'd probably go with Jason at Big Kahuna

i really like the 2nd artist's shit. but if youre looking for traditional #3 looks the best imo.

Might be a pain to travel, but when it comes to something you'll have with you for the rest of your life, surely it's worth it?
The last 3 tattoos i've got have been at least a 6 hour round trip each for me and i'm so glad i made that journey.

Edit: And just so my post isn't completely worthless, i'd go with #3 out of those choices.

Looks like the most skilled from the bunch to me.

Thanks. I was leaning towards Tattoo by Lous & Big Kahuna Tattoo Studio. I wasn't sure how Jason's work compared for someone who specialized in old school tattoos. I checked out Nate @ True Love Tattoo Studio, but didn't see much old school stuff in his portfolio.

You are the 5th person to recomend Nate at True Love. Seems I must go there.

Nate is truly an amazing dude. I miss working with him almost every day.
