I got mine done at Tommy Spaulding Tattoo on Central Ave, 628 Central Ave. I was very happy with Tommy and the work he did. I have no connection to the shop. Just a satisfied customer.

I highly recommend Rich at Lark Tattoo....he will definitely be doing all of my future work!
... said CAPow! on Dec 9, 2010 at 9:53 PM | link
I really think that everyone at Lark Tattoo is professional and from what I have seen, exceptionally artistic. I have gone to Rich and I love (love, love) the pieces he has done for me, and Kara does fine work as well.

T-Bone or Kara at Lark Street Tattoo! All mine are from T-Bone and I wouldn't go to anyone else, but my friend's were done by Kara and she does great work.

For celtic work, Jay at All Star (Scotia) is hands down the best!! Illustrations and everything else, Devlin at Alectric City (Schenectady) has incredible attention to details!!
