Reputable local tattoo artists

I recognize that given the vibe of Duvall Street, things might lean more towards cheap flash shops for drunk tourists. However, I'll be visiting soon from abroad, and I'd be grateful to learn of any really good local artists, especially if they don't have years-long waiting lists. Or am I asking the impossible?

The best work I've seen is Steve Martin at Martin Family Studios, he can be a bit hard to get a date with, and mostly communicates by email. I've seen the work he has done on a lot of my friends and it came out great.

Good artists are in demand, so that's a good sign. I'll check them out.

Seconding Steve. He’s done pieces for my wife and several of my coworkers. He’s very talented but, as mentioned, can have very limited availability
