good luck getting in with Acrow. I dont think he is taking on new clients right now. J. Wark actually apprenticed him but you you will never hear Acrow say that. He apparently abruptly left Blackwater after Jesse gave him everything but the shirt off his back. Guys seems to be a bit of dick, real talented tho. He was a graffiti artist for Swollen Members back before he got into tattooing.
Sucks Rob Hope isn't doing realistic work anymore, he is definitely the best anywhere around here and most of Canada.
Jesse Young at Six Gill in Sechelt does some awesome portrait work I would check him out. Him and Piotr are bad ass tattoo artists. Jesse Young - Tattoos for the Working Class
Also Donovan at Lady Luck in Langley is a great portrait artist.
Just got a few more hours on the rib piece, will post a pic when healed.
For you guys who get a lot of work done, what is your healing routine like and what lotion/ointments you guys use?? I just started trying this Aquaphor stuff and so far I really like it. I switch to regular unscented lotion after about 4 days into healing.

It wouldn't be hard to get someone else to take it for you, or crop the image so it shows just the tattoo... Iphones have what, 8 megapixels now?
So far everyone has been able to do that...

well i have some tie to the shop, i don't want to violate any terms advertising publicly but if its ok with you i can post it?
don't get me wrong temple city is great but imo they are quite overhype much like gabe (the guy that did beckham's chinese writing) and caters to the western (ie more $$$$) crowd
they are many not so famous tattoo artist in hk (as in not much advertising in english/ no having a flashy website) that does great work but you probably wouldn't know unless you know cantonese and is in or know someone in the tattoo community.

Please do share. I posted the link to Wang because it looks like he specializes in black and grey, and has done some portraits. I know Gabe and Joey are super overhyped. Joey has probably a 2 year wait anyway
Don't go to Jamie imo

Clint Danroth - Craftsman
Mark or Art - Funhouse
Ken Greer - Fat City
James Acrow - personel private tattoo shop
Rob Hope - rob hope tattoos
Jesse Strong - New World Tattoo
Dan Green - Sacred Heart
Trevor Shea or Ian JansenVanBeek - Three Point Tattoo
Jesse young or Piotr barker - Six Gill Tattoo Sechelt
There is a lot of others. Jesse and Jeff are great, Jesse is one of my main artists. Its just a lot of people seem to go to whoever someone tells them to see. You should spend a lot of time checking out all the great shops in and around vancouver and you may find someone with a style you really connect with. Actually go to these shops not just look on the internet. I realize some are private and you cant just go visit.
I posted another list of artists a couple pages back aswell.
Right now I am really liking six gill tattoo these guys are amazing and its worth the travel. THey are next on my list. | this is from whatitdew a while back, i checked out each portfoilio and its amazing...
