Guy Aitchison!

Hopefully you don't need an introduction to Guy Aitchison, an accomplished tattoo and fine artist. From Guy's website:

"I have never considered either tattooing or painting to be more important to me, though they constantly battle for supremacy in my life. On the one hand, tattooing is a very critical type of commercial art, where success or failure of any given project has very deep implications for the client. This forces an extra degree of dedication and flexibility on the part of the artist, and the clients' participation helps maintain a flow of fresh ideas and images into the artist's bag of tricks. On the other hand, painting lacks all the traditional constraints of tattooing such as size, budget, pain tolerance, eraseability and of course the client's tastes. It allows for a type of wild experimentation not normally recommended in tattooing, plus a chance to chase after obscure and specific personal notions that may not have much commercial appeal. I am very fortunate in that my client base is very trusting of me and for the large part, quite willing to give me almost total free reign on their skin."
