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

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?

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.

That is the mythical beast Cerberus. The 3 headed dog that satan rescued.

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

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

You might want to check out https://venomink.com. I haven't used him, but he has realistic black and gray work.

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

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!

Fianna ink does fantastic realism. I think the dudes name is James.

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.
