Are you still in Sth America? Because Jun Matsui who does incredible blackwork has moved to Brazil for the time being and I love love love his blackwork, even though I tend to go for colour and "Japanese" style. Check out his work here http://www.lifeunderzen.com/

He's actually half Japanese, and I think the Japanese full body aesthetic informs his blackwork. Plenty of room on the body for different styles!

Otherwise... Miami Ink? haha i'm kidding...

Jun is great.

And actually, Miami Ink (Love and Hate Tattoo) is a good suggestion. Chris Garver would be a great choice. Really underated artists. Great tattooer. Might be that the extra hype has died down because in their website (www.lovehatetattoos.com) they announce We currently are doing walk-ins only. Walk-ins are first-come, first-served daily. So it might be a good thing to go check it out. Ami James is also very good, as is James Hamilton

Other great ones.

Really I never looked at Garver as underated well I live in miami so everyone around here knows who he is. They have great artist at love hate but they charge an arm and a leg because of the whole Miami Ink show. Federico Ferroni is another great artist in Miami Beach he's a great all around artist http://www.southbeachtattoo.com/html/federico/federcof.html. Also Troy Lane and Jeff from AAA Tattoo are very good aswell http://www.myspace.com/aaatattooing.

Yeh right that's good for Chavi to know that they now do walk ins. I was laughin bout it more because of the whole show pony aspect and also how astronomical the charges would be. Be GREAT if he could get in with Jun though, I'd love a good solid piece from him one day.

Anyone know what Chris Garver is charging per hour? I've been trying to figure that one out to see how much I'd need to save. By the way, while Love Hate Tattoos says walk-ins only, Chris Garver and Darren Brass are still taking appointments (with Chris, supposedly you'll be put on a wait list). See the link:

I just came back from Miami and had a great tattoo from Ferderico Ferrino he is great.
While there a guy from the Uk came in and had a tattoo priced in (Love Hate) about the size of an apple on his arm and they were looking for $600 which he was going mad about said they were ripping people off.

I don,t know but I was very happy with Federico.
