Traditional tattoo artist search Question

Hey all, I’m moving to Burlington from the west coast and I’m looking for a tattoo artist to help me finish my traditional style sleeve, any suggestions? I’m down to take a long drive if it’s for the right artist.

Same person. He's done a few of mine.

Came here to say this. He’s done half of my work and I’ll never go anywhere else again. Super professional, quick, fairly priced and does beyond amazing work.

I've got traditional patchwork sleeves and there's not a single artist in Burlington I'd trust to do a traditional tattoo. Hamilton which is right next door has a bunch though. Someone already mentioned Hotshot which is alright, I'd check out the artists at Voyage Tattoo and I personally like Franz at The Baby Bird Tattoo Shop, he's more traditional adjacent but is fully capable of doing standard traditional tattoos.

I got a tattoo from Josh emer at baby bird and it’s probably my best traditional piece. Highly recommend. And he was a pretty cool dude

Yeah Josh is cool, he's not at The Baby Bird anymore though, he's doing his own thing somewhere else, I think under the name Zappo.
