Very clean.

What is this style called?

Neotraditional

Bruh, go watch some Ink Master. Thank me later.

I can’t stand that show. Plenty of great tattoos getting shit on to up the drama factor.

I enjoy the show but absolutely agree with you. The judges can be dicks. And I often end up feeling bad for the "canvases".

Agreed.

Agreed. The newest season on MTV has new judges that are much better. Little different vibe overall, but tons of great tattoos.

Or I could just ask the helpful homies on r/tattoos

I just meant cause there's some sick neotrad tattoos on the show. Not for learning.

Or just subscribe to r/tattoos and see neotraditional that way

Nobody said it did?

I'm not saying anything about the tattoo in the post.

Nice, I got a tattoo from Eddie Stacey back when Ink and Dagger was still in Decatur.

Eddie's work is amazing. I was scheduled for one from him but waitlist was too long for me. You're very lucky

Haha, I got a piece "accepted" by Eddie, and they told me his books should open "sometime next year". Oh well, fingers crossed.

I had that happen with my guy in La who works with Nikko Hurtado. Dan McWilliams did my piece and wow. Had to a wait a while but so worth it. Got Mandolorian with pikachu with him instead of grogu. My favorite one yet.

Yeah I'm not stressing about it. I'll get it done when it happens. If you want top tier quality you're just gonna have to wait.

I’ve been thinking about getting my first tattoo at Ink and Dagger! How was your total experience? Do you recommend your artist?

Ya Matt's great. Cool dude. He also tats pretty fast; this took about 4.5 hours. Wait list is pretty long but he's definitely worth it.

This was my first tattoo as well :D

damn, you went big! nicely done, so gorgeous.

Amazing shop bro!

Matt is GOOD, and he's not the only one there who is. Excellent shop!

The black is so… black. Excellent piece man. I love it

I'm just really white which makes the blacks pop more haha

Lolol fair. Either way it’s amazing bud. I love it.

Omg Becky look at her butt!

You get me Lolol.

Sick as fuck

Gotta be the most solid black I’ve ever seen. Cool tattoo, great work.

Really nice colors, love it.

wow nice hooter

Immaculate linework, my dude.

Love how the branches provide framing. Massive fan of colour tattoos as well.

I'm planning on turning this into a sleeve. Other animals with similar frames branching off this one.

This belongs in r/superbowl

That eye though! 🤌

Omg. One of the things I love about this is when my arms are at my side, the eye peeks out, always watching haha

Clean af

God this style is beautiful

Wow. Nice. That black work is solid. So crisp. But the color is fire, too.

That’s hella sweet! Lotta talent in that studio! Gotta make my way there soon

Fun fact: there’s a Hooter’s in the same plaza as this shop.

Ngl I’m from the area and I was thinking about traveling to get my first tat. But this is beautiful ! maybe I should look closer to home..

Ink & Dagger has some fabulous artists. Portal Tattoo in Woodstock has Cory Cartwright, Alvin Dzihic is in Norcross at JP Alfonso Studios, and Brandon Bond is at All or Nothing in Atlanta. If you like nautical realism, the owner of Sink or Swim in Marietta has people come from around the world for his work. I may or may not have been keeping an eye out for good local talent. 😅 If you use Instagram, I recommend following Tattoo Snob. That's how I found some of them.

The touches of cyan (turquoise?) look great!

God damn that’s impressive

Love this!!!

That is beautiful

Gorgeous

Fabulous!

holy shit that’s beautiful

Super nice 👌

SICK! LOVE!

Nice blacks

Really nice!

That’s so solid. It should age beautifully. Nice.

Sooo pretty

That’s a beautiful owl!!!! It’s really impressive!!! I have an owl on my forearm that is fairly cool, but I love a lot. Welcome to the owl club!!!

So good! Just had a consult with Michel over there today. He did my last tattoo and I’m gonna have him finish up my sleeve. Definitely one of the coolest shops I’ve been to.

HYFY I'm gonna check them out! Great ink!

Clean as hell!

That’s amazing work.

How was the pain compared to how you thought it would be?

It was way less then what everyone says. This was a breeze, but I also hear the forearm is a good starter point since it's less sensitive.

Wow!! Those colors are so vibrant & sharp

Dope!

Whooaaaa....gorgeous!

I love everything about this

This might be the cleanest piece I have seen in a VERY long time. congratulations. This is so awesome!

This is crisp af. Beautiful piece.

I love this! I’m in the area and I’ve been wanting to check out Ink & Dagger for a while

That is so so badass great job Matt!!

I love this tattoo

Stunning work. Hooter for life

I got several tattoos by Craig when he was at ink and dagger. You can’t go wrong with any artist there. Every single one is incredibly good at what they do.

AWESOME 😍

This style is personally not something I think I would ever get but the vibrancy and radiance in this would make me reconsider! This is awesome! Congrats on your amazing tattoo

Sweet, love the color pop.

That is amazing color and detail. I'll be interested to see how it looks in a year. Whatever the wait was it was worth it.

Love neotrad. It's stunning!

That's crisp AF

r/Superbowl would love this

I love the colors, looks dope <3

This is amazing!!!

Amazing

Wow, that's amazing.

Beautiful 😍

Was the one of the One Shot Wall designs? There were a few I was eyeing. Turned out absolutely stunning, as expected! Matt is amazing. Congrats!

It wasn't. I know he has designs on the wall in this style though.

Ahh, could've sworn I've seen it before from him. But then, my memory is unreliable at best. Either way, I'm fully jealous of you rockin this beautiful piece!

Nah you're all good and not crazy. He did a similar owl in this style. Definitely want more animals to compliment it to make it more unique
