The best tattoo artists of today.
What a task today I had to face when choosing the 10 best tattoo artists of today. With the huge number of great tattoo artists we have around the world, anyone would have to take a long time to put together such a list. Of course, on the other hand, some names are inevitable for me and come alone directly to my head.
Exactly there is where everything lies, and this list that I have prepared is nothing more than pure subjectivity.
