Johnny Berrios in East Hampton, Massachusetts at Off The Map Tattoo.
He is amazing in Black & Grey, as well as in color and portrait. I have never seen a bad tattoo of his, ranging all styles from realistic, to Japanese, to celtic, anything you want. He is extremely helpful and takes his time. He sat with me for 3 hours just designing the tattoo...tattooed me for 6 1/2 hours and I was surprised his charge was only $600 for such a quality experience.

I am booked with another great artist right now by the name of Julio Rodriguez at Hope Gallery Tattoo. 817 Chapel st. suite 2F. New Haven CT. He is also great in every style I have seen and color/black and grey.
- Go along the left to see his name and page.
- His personal site. He works Thurs-Sat by app.

Both of these artists may take a bit of time to get an appointment with, but well worth it.[/u]
