HOD…end of story
and i thought idiots got tattoos…lol
every one has their own personal preference. check outa few places, look at all the artists previous work and go with whomever you trust. and if the artist is booked for a while, don’t get mad. be happy. that means they’re good and people trust him/her.
Im getting a tat of a cathedral exploding. But nobody will ever see it save a few select individuals…
g/l
sa-weet!
the girls will be crawling all over you now joe 
I’ve given up referring people to the best place in buffalo. Cause everytime I do, they get pissed they have to wait ~2 months. And end up going to HOD, or American Skin Art, or Cooper @ Cowpoke…or even worse Millenium. Now, I’m not saying those places are bad… I’m just telling you which I think the best for what you want.
Thats just one of the artists’ work. And thats his older stuff from ~2-3 years ago… His newer stuff is 100 times better.
PM me if you want details. If not, good luck with your search. :tup:
im not gonna get into a pissing match but also check out krunlelstilkin (sp) post recommending shops and such from the post that strokedz28 started…

HOD tattoo on elmwood. these guys do mindblowing work. you have to remember there are 40 something (i think it is 43) tattoo shops in erie county. That is the second highest amount of shops per capital in the US other than somewhere in San Fran. Most poeple around here dont even know what a good tattoo looks like since WNY is FLOODED with bad ones. check it out.

www.doombrotherstattoo.comI also highly recommend http://www.myspace.com/renaissancestudios , and divine machine tattoos which is also on main st. Cory cudney http://images.google.com/images?q=cory+cudney&hl=en does some real official shit. I can’t believe he is tattooing at that level and still in buffalo.
I can also highly recommend Steve, (and only steve) at carl’s tattooing in N.T. Great guy, and he knocks out a realllllll solid tat.
For those of you interested in looking at some great work :
If you want to see what the best tattoos (in NYS) look like go here:
www.nyadorned.com
Some of these dudes make 3-400,000 a year tattooing, and are not accepting any new clientele. fucking insane dude. My girlfriend has a $3000 half sleeve from chris o’donnel. If you like any of the people on that site, google them because they all have web pages with way better stuff.If you want to see some less traditional / japanese style work these guys all do some insane new school / colorbomb /progressive work. Josh woods is an ex-buffaloian.
http://www.allornothingtattoo.com/In November I am going to san francisco to get tattooed here by jeff whitehead. These guys are all out of there minds. sooo good.
http://www.blackhearttattoosf.com/If you find yourself liking japanese style tattoos check out the master horiyoshi III. http://images.google.com/images?svn…III&btnG=Search
I was lucky enough to see a horiyoshi III backpiece last night, and it was unreal. pictures never do tattoos justice. If only I was japanese.Since my girlfriend and her brothers own HOD, I won’t say anything bad about anyone. I wouldn’t anyways. A lot of people devolop an emotional connection and a friendship with thier artists. But i do have all of the horror stories, and I see jon covering everyone else’s garbage on the daily.
My best advice to you (all of you) is to go around, and check out portfolios, and find a place you feel comfortable. It is going to be to be there forever.
and trust me. 4 hours ago I was buying plane tickets to the london convention as a birthday present for my girl. (only to find out her passport is MIA)Hope this helps! PM me if you have any other questions.

That is an understatement my friend.
You could go see carl at Carl’s on oliver…he charges a pretty decent amount per hour, but he does pretty good work…
Im getting the firefighter’s maltese cross with my firefighter # (42) in flames in the center with the firefighter’s prayer under it…it will be fuckin badass but a long time cuz it will be hella pricey!
If you want it to look realistic…go to Corey Cudney. Hands down, one best realism artists in the nation.
Ask EZFD about his brothers Clint Eastwood tattoo. :ohnoes:
But you’re also have to remember…you gotta pay to play.
truth…
i saw some of coreys work online and its fucking insane…
You also have to remember that Buffalo is way way behind with whats “cool”. The people here also, get very little amount of different things. 90% of the people have the same thing or a spin off of the same thing.
i found it.
GO TUFF GO!!!
^^tuff represent!!! lol
