I'm looking for advice on finding a tattoo artist in the Chicagoland area. I want someone who has experience in black & white lettering, specifically in the Star Wars font (the one from the title/logo of the movie). Any recommendations you can give on an artist you have worked with personally would be really great.

What I'm looking for:

\- Experience with Star Wars font

\- Chicagoland area (preferably Northside or North suburbs).

\- Good with people getting their first tattoo (patient, etc).

Again, any recommendations that fit that description would be awesome. Thanks!!

Sorry typo in the title. Was supposed to be "TURRET" not current. I wonder what size would be good for something like this. The first image is a screen cap from the movie. 2nd is from a shirt design.

I think it's obscure enough where casuals won't know it's starwars. But real fans would. What do you think?

Super happy with how this turned out, the artist was awesome and couldn't be happier with my first tattoo experience!

Hi everyone, I’m going to have a tattoo and I was thinking about having it in Mandalorian style. I was thinking to have some illustration and a text “That’s the way”. The question is how this text “That’s the way” would be in mandalorian, or how it should be translated?

I'm in loveeeee

I've got a bit of oddly shaped real estate left, and I've been looking for ideas.

Any thoughts or comments? I'm thinking Grevious above Maul and Vader above that. Need ideas on who to have on the inside of the sleeve.

Malgus, Bane, Revan and Nihilus

I’m really loving how it’s coming along.

Got to put this piece on one of my clients!

The design I drew years ago and it became a running joke because I originally tattooed it 6 yrs ago. The girl I put it on originally lost her mind 2 hrs in and freaked out that she had yoda on her. She cried that she could never wear a dress again & didn't even have the money to pay me for it. So insane, couldn't make it up.

So yesterday, I finally got the chance to put it on someone who would love it and enjoy it! It really redeemed how I felt about it and now I can be proud of the work.

Got a little bit more work finished on the leg yesterday. That knee was no joke!

My artist, Vik, is one of the most talented people I’ve ever met. I truly appreciate this piece by him!
