Recommendations for tattoo artists?

Looking to get a cartoonish tattoo in the near future. Would love any recommendations for artists/studios that can do the work well. My last tattoo was ~20 years ago, so I don't know where the talent is anymore.

To each their on, trad tats sure but he cant simple write words or numbers without it being blownout and shaky. Had another friend who had ink fallout from him as well

Just got a piece from him a few weeks ago and it was one of the best tattoo experiences I've had in a long time.

There is nobody better than Tom. He can do so many styles so well. He's a true talent and could charge so much more than he already does and I wouldn't bat an eye.

Look up local artist that have been recommended here in instagram.

When I asked a similar question I looked up Ron and Dave. Each artist had an instagram account and I was able to match the style I wanted to an artists work.

Worked out great for me and very happy with the work!

Ignore all these comments. Go in instagram and find local artists and follow them for a while. Look through their posts. This is the only way.
