Tommy Helm is one of my favorite tattoo artists. (More info here: http://empirestatestudios.com/our-team/tommy-helm/) I love the concepts of tattoos. The fact that you are putting so much faith in an artist and are so in love with their work that you are willing to permanently put it into your skin. With Tommy everything is so well thought out that he is able to pull off anything. He has no forte, he just simply makes great tattoos. Tommy has won Ink Master season 1 and has his own show, Tattoo Nightmares, both on spike (TV channel). He also has great finesse, being able to do cover up tattoos. Cover-ups are hard to do, due to the fact that you are going over a tattoo that is already there. A tattoo that has some horrible reason to be covered up. The fact that he can replace something that brings so much pain to someone with something so beautiful is awesome. He can tell stories in his ink. All he needs is a tattoo machine and some ink. He will bring life to the tattoos.
This is super awesome and I highly appreciate it because as I am currently interning in a tattoo shop,I can relate a lot and this guy has mad skill. I highly appreciate the cover work he does and I'm glad you posted this.
