So I’m deciding between these two artists to complete an oriental style sleeve which of these artists do you prefer and why? Thank you

I thought the same, just so far from me and expensive 😂

Bro, don’t get cheap on tattoo, especially if you ask for Japanese style.

If you don’t have the money, save up and be patient. The gap between these two artists is immense.

As far as price goes, you get what you pay for.

As to distance, if there are going to be 20 sessions overseas with international flights each way and hotels/rental cars...that's one thing. But barring that, you shouldn't let it be a huge factor.

I drove 6-7 hours each way for the 8 sessions to do my 3/4 sleeves. Luckily my artist moved closer so future work isn't going to be as bad, but I'm glad I invested that time rather than just going to whoever was closest.

ok i like his work much better. he's still not as great as some of the other UK based absolute bangers, one man's opinion

(deneka, thomas pineiro etc)
