The Great Art

"You get what you paid for" is a big saying when it comes to the art of Tattooing. Anybody can do a tattoo on anybody, but it is the quality of the art that counts when it comes down to it. Finding a good tattoo artist is not tough, but finding an excellent one is, and as always you should be ready to spend a little money. The main thing to look out for when searching for a tattoo artist is the style of tattoo the artist specializes in, for example...

Portrait Style (Roman Abrego Tattooing)



Asian Style (Chronic Ink Toronto Shop)



Bio Mechanical (BioMech) 
  


These are just some of the incredible pieces done by very talented and hard working artists. One of my favorite artist is Roman Abrego (he did the Bob Marley piece). Roman was featured in a show season one of Best Ink. Roman is also a talented artist who has won many awards for the work he has completed, with only 12 years experience in the industry. Roman is currently in his early 30's and has two daughters, he had two large Mexican families which raised him and always had love for the art. When Roman was younger he had gotten into a lot of trouble and soon after ended up in jail for a period of time. Within that time he spent in jail, he familiarized himself with the art more by spending time working on his artistic ability. Once out of jail he decided to change his lifestyle and begin his career. Roman's step father had him working in construction to keep out of trouble, but he did not want to do that for long. Shortly after, Roman was introduced to the art of tattooing and decided this is what his dream was. He is currently the owner of Artistic Element in California and many famous people go to him to get inked such as the rapper Game and many more. His tattoo style is portraits and BioMech, anything with a lot of color blend and mixture. A lot of his art can be seen here.
