Tattoos in NJ / Philly

[NickyBass]

I am looking to get my first tattoo within the next few months. I live in southern Jersey (near Philly) and would appreciate some recomendations. I would be willing to travel up to 3 hours for the right artist.

If anyone knows someone near Wildwood or Atlantic City, that would be perfect since I will be there on vacation next month. I'm not set on that, but it would be very convinient.

Nowhere near Atlantic City, but I can highly recommend Immortal Ink, specifically Chris Adamek.

Wow, he does great work. I will add him to the list, thanks!

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Hey Nicky! The wife is having her thigh covered in a Great White / Ocean theme by Paul Davis at TattooVille. Not too close to you, but in all our researching it's who we chose.

Hey James. We should have another GTG soon! I can't believe it's been so long.

I found a place that seems to do nice work. Can anyone comment on the quality of these tattoos? Moonlight Tattoo

It is also only 30 minutes from where I will be staying in Wildwood next week. Of course, I am willing to wait and travel to find the right place, but Moonlight seems legit, no?

You should probably get a tattoo with an eagle in front of a bass clef holding a bow in one talon and a rose in the other talon. Or maybe an alligator playing an upright with sunglasses on.

Indeed! Maybe we can put something together in the fall?

Clicking through, the tattoos looks great! I've no idea on legitness... but I would definitely got meet the artist you intend to hire.

What are you getting? I posted my wife's tattoo in the 'Show your ink' thread... she goes back on Thursday to get it finished... I go in about a month to get mine started

I'm looking at a 'Huginn and Muninn' (Odin's ravens) and Yggdrasil (The World Tree... Ash branches, leaves and flowers specifically) themed full sleeve. I'm going all high detail black ink shading with minimal color (blue eyes on the ravens as well as purple flower and green leaf accenting).

my drummers brother tattoos in that area, forget his name tho..

if you'd be willing to travel to the Harrisburg PA area we got quite a few good artists around here

Drop of Ink Tattoo would be my shop of choice, lots of guys that are downright amazing there.
