Can anyone recommend a tattoo artist in the Valley? I'm kind of new to the Lehigh Valley, and I am looking for a good tattoo studio. Any suggestions? And what makes you...

Thank you for the suggestions so far! I will have to take a look at their portfolios online. The piece I want is comic book inspired, so I want to make sure they are comfortable with that style.

I highly recommend Steel City tattoos (particularly John) and Stick Ink (particularly for The owner and Chris). Not a knock on anyone else just that is who I am familiar with to recommend or get tattooed from myself.

Just went to Sick Ink in Whitehall. They're a bunch of awesome people there, and always accommodate the customer. Mike Mara just did my first half sleeve for me and it came out fuckin great, especially because he free handed everything. I'd gladly send you a pic via PM if you'd like or chat more.

Also check out [Paradise Lost](http://www.paradiselosttattoos.com) in Kutztown. It's not in the LV but it's close-by. Though I can't vouch for the owner (or the other artists) personally, he's been in business for a long time. They've done work for many musicians and porn stars (incl. Jenna Jameson).

I've never gotten a tattoo, but my friend told me to never get on in pa. She said always got to nj for tattoos. I think it's because there are more rules about how clean stuff has to be in nj. Idk. Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.

Wait til you get to Florida and let Mikey Mike Traina's Art District Inc. do it if you are asking for Eric. Mikey is amazing. He is Walker's friend that Suessed Sutton's room.
I need a LV recommendation for a very important tattoo. Please don't recommend just a shop, artist name too. (Also, feel free to give me names of people to avoid).

Shannon at Ink Spot Tattoo West in Greenbrook. She has a magnificent portfolio and is a fabulous artist. She does all you're asking for and is a great woman too. She is worth the ride

Brian Murphy over at 3 rd Dimension Tattoo in E. Stroudsburg. He's ridiculously good with shading, and his portfolio is stunning.

Ken Sigafoos of Sigafoos tattoo in. S. Bethlehem, I hate even the thought of needles but if I was going to let anyone come near me with one it'd be that guy because he's an amazing artist I've seen work he's done for other people and it's always able to capture the essence of who they are in addition to being amazing to look at.
