Before anybody said anything, I know somebody posted a thread like this awhile back ago. But I want to know if there is any shop that can do a really really good Japanese tattoo, someone who can perform an intricate and clean work.

I'm looking to get an oni mask on my back...something along this line, maybe half the size of this. I'm not looking to cover up my whole back yet.

I've been checking out several places myself. this is a good thread. I checked out several places. One that caught my eyes is Manasses "Exposed Temptations Tattoo". Can't say much since I'm not originally from NOVA

I've been looking to get one for quite sometime, but I just haven't found a shop that actually "knows" what they're doing. I usually try to look at the work they've done in the past, and I've noticed that most shops actually does a pretty decent job at outlining the pic, but once it comes down to the coloring it just throws everything off. I know that the shade of the color is not going to be all the same, but some artist tries to make the tat stand out by mixing bright colors, and it ends up being tacky sometime.
