Need tattoo artis recommendations

September 25, 2008 6:09 PM

Looking for a tattoo artist in SF Bay Area who can do a large intricate celtic knotwork piece.

I'm asking for a friend who has just moved to the Bay Area. He is looking for an artist who will work with him to finish up the artwork and also do a nice job on a fairly intricate and large piece. Specifically looking for artists who specialize in knotwork or at least do a fair bit of it and can show him many examples of their previous work. Thanks!

Pat Fish is in Santa Barbara, and she does some of the best Celtic tattoos I've ever seen. For an intricate and large piece, I think it'd be worth the trip.

Response by poster: It'll take a few visits and it's a 6+ hour drive. Hoping to find someone more local.

The best of both worlds: My girlfriend had both of her tattoos done by Rocio at Diving Swallow, who'd previously been at Black and Blue Tattoo. Best ever.
