Realism Tattoo Artist

Submitted by HauntingTrash7543 t3_124ptgw in Maine

Are there any tattoo artists in Maine you guys would recommend, that are very high-quality with a primary focus on realism? Blacks and grays. Like Cesar Perez in Keene, NH except not so far away lol

IME, anyone who has a waiting list to be tattooed is "very high quality". You can get good tattooing without a wait, but you'll get a better results with one. You should comb Google to check who's tattooing at regional conventions.

Phuc Tran (1.5 yr wait) and Cindi Lou (~1yr) at Tsunami come to mind.

Both Phuc and Cindi Lou are excellent. I have a few by Phuc now, as does my partner who also has a few from Cindi Lou. Cannot recommend Tsunami highly enough

I love Cindi's work, but she canceled on me at the last minute twice.

Matt Brown. He used to be sown in Sanford but I think he's in NH now. Honestly, his work is literally amazing. Like the true definition of the word

All personal preference. Those faces on the 3 wolves would be a no from me. But, If you find what you like in a closer artist, go for it. Tattoos are forever, if I ever decided to go for another, I'd make the trip for what I want. Ya know?

I'm not a fan of face portraits because they never look right. However, Chad does some truly impressive work and makes them actually look good.

Hyper-realistic!

Looks like they’re closed until Spring or Summer and not taking bookings now. Definitely great stuff though

Not sure where you’re located. Jason Drake at Diversified Ink in Bangor does some great work. They also have a couple other artists (Harley Gray) who specialize in black and gray.
