    Looking to get a largemouth bass tattoo and wanted to know if anyone could recommend someone that does GREAT wildlife work. I’ve been to tats by zap in stillwater and the guy messed up my canvasback tattoo. Don’t go see him I’ll say his name rhymes with billy.

    Don’t know where you live but there is a tattoo show in La Crosse this week-end. I bet you could find someone there

    Some friends and I have all been pleased with Elecric Dragonland in Hopkins. Don’t know if any of them specialize in wildlife, but worth a call.

    2nd on that one. Don is a great artist with great stories. He’s been tattooing far longer than pretty much anyone in the Twin Cities area.

    Best place in MN is called Electric Dragonland in Hopkins. I have had all my work done there by Shane Anderson. He has won more awards then just about any other artist in this state. check it out you will be really happy with them!

    Tony “T-Bone” @ http://www.seriousinktattoos.com in Fridley layed down a walleye on my forearm with over 400 scales during a nearly 5 hour session, did an awesome job with great coloring 3 years later.
    I could send you a pic if you’d like.

    Wife had hers done at ACME in St Paul, looks good.

    Personally for something this permanent I’d go to some of these shops and look at what they’ve done, then show them a picture of what you want and see who looks like the best shot..

    Better hope you don’t catch walleye fever or that bass tat will be like an ex girl fiends name on your arm.

    That’s all right, he can cover it up with a carp.

    I’d check out this guy. I’ve personally seen his work and it’s amazing. He did a set of stitches on my girlfriend and everyone thought that he actually had stitches. I added a picture of one of the other tattoos I’ve seen him do. He’s the guy that I’m going to go to when I finally get mine. His page
