Tattoo artist Hope this is the right place to post this, but I’m looking for a new tattoo artist close to the area. I don’t mind traveling too far away from Annapolis but it would be nice to go somewhere close. I’m looking for somebody who style is mostly very, very American traditional with bold lines and bold colors. Any info would be great! Maybe just suggest their Instagram or Facebook? Thanks a bunch!

Tattoo Artists in DMV Area Anyone have any tattoo artists that you highly recommend and their IG pages? I would like to work on my sleeve, and while I have an idea of what theme and components I want, I definitely don't have a sketch design of it or anything, so I would like an artist who is creative in coming up with ideas for how the images will look and would be willing to sit down for a consultation. I have small tattoos here and there, so I am definitely a newbie when it comes to larger pieces so any recommendations would help.

I highly recommend [Tattooed Heart Studios](https://www.tattooedheart.com/) right outside of Baltimore. All of the artist have amazing work and it is one of the nicest studios I have been too. Andrea did my newest piece, but I would honestly go to any of the artist there and know I got a quality piece. They are all very active in instagram too.
Tattoo artist recommendations in the DMV area Hey guys.
I'm looking for an artist that specializes in high quality, geometric work. The best artist I've found for this style is Chaim Machlev, but short of waiting two years and flying to Berlin, he's not really an option.
This piece of his is the exact style I'm looking for, and I'm hoping to find someone in the DMV area (+/- 2 hours) that can do similar work.

I've looked around (seen a lot of JinxProof/Fatty's recommendations), but haven't been able to find anybody that matches the style and quality of Chaim's work.
If you guys have any recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

Even though it's essentially at BWI, try [Tattooed Heart Studios](http://www.tattooedheart.com) and John. My wife got [her tattoo](https://www.instagram.com/p/BFhhWSggLKU/) there a while back, she still loves it. Just a note, John only takes work he's interested in and this is totally in his wheelhouse. He's currently in the middle of a mandala phase but loves geometric work.
