Hey gbougard…

Ever get that tattoo in Japan?

My Gf's new lifetime partners

Very nice

[Max Power]

Oh yeah, awesome. I am thinking of a new one too. But I am unsure which artist to pick, I am considering art nouveau style - so somebody who can do that perfectly would be approbriate.

[Big Eyed Fish]

Do it! I love nouveau style too!

[Max Power]

We'll see…I got to find a good artist at first, then work out my motive...

Hey Flo,

Check out Annie Frenzel.

She's in Berlin. She has tattooed most of my girlfriend's tattoos and she is an amazing artist.

She would be perfect to do the style you are looking for..

[Max Power]

Thank you so much, el! Will definitely do!

[elclintor]

No prob!

here's her blog:  http://germanhammer.wordpress.com/

Thanks again! Funny coincidence - she tattooed the guys from the revival tour (I was there two weeks ago) and has Burg und Schild in her favorites - I met these guys last week at the RW store party. And she looks nice and the tattoos great - so I just need to find out how long I would have to wait…

Alright, who as some experience getting a cover-up?  I'm going to talk to a few people but I'd like to some ammo (good questions) before going in.  Or if anyone happens to know of an artist in the LA area that has experience with 'em that would be even better.  Thanks for any info.

Rachel Bickley at Immaculate Conception Tattoo on Melrose, she's a master at cover-ups.

Scrolling through her work now, thanks BH!

clint…did annie frenzel used to live in the south somewhere?  like north carolina?  i think i've met her before.

[Max Power]

I think she wrote about Raleigh, NC in her bio. I still wait for the final confirmation of my planned two appointments. That you might know her doesn't susprise me anymore, as there have ben so many coincidences already…
