So I know most of y'all think tattoos are trashy, but I'm hoping to find some information. I have a few tattoos, but I'm looking for a new artist to start on my new piece. Problem is that it's more of a realistic picture type and less of the artist type I already have. Does anyone have a go to, or highly recommended person they trust. Money isn't an issue, I'll pay anything for it to be right as it will be on my body forever. Thanks in advance and Happy New Year!

You should've thought of this statement before you got whatever trashy shite you got inked onto you in the first place.

Got mine from Seth at Idle Hands on Magazine. All are hidden because of work, but his shading is excellent.

If you want quality, suck it up and go to either Dallas, Nashville or Chicago.

Even with nola gentrifying, there still isn't enough high end work to keep good tattoo artists in town.

Follow the money.

Seriously, look for Nazis and gay night life. Meth makes art.

There is a guy on a magazine that is really good at incorporating tribal and/or barbwire into the hairline of a portrait. Let me find that contact info...

I absolutely appreciate this response. I hope paying for a slightly better artist keeps me having this type of cartoon on my body.
Ladyland does a good job, as well as tattooagogo. I'm just looking for some other recommendations.
I will probably end up going out of the city for my next piece to continue my trashy streak.

Check out Ben Louis in Biloxi if you wanna go that far, his work is worth it though.

There is a woman named Leslie in belle chasse that's supposed to be pretty good.
