I am an award winning tattoo artist and owner of Tattoo City in Lockport, ILL
This multi award-winning artist has been tattooing in the Chicago area for 14 years and has owned and operated Tattoo City – Skin Art Studio in Lockport, Illinois since 1994. www.tattoocityskinart.com He is a very versatile and well-rounded artist, capable of portrait quality black and gray, micro fine detailed single needle work, bold crazy color bomb and everything in between. His stellar reproductive skills are right up there with the best in the business but what sets him apart is his ability to draw killer original designs. Lately, Larry has been enjoying a more painterly style of tattooing that can be seen in his newest color work and reproductions of the great Sci-fi art of Frank Frazetta. He is desperately trying to work a more regular painting schedule into his busy life of tattooing and convention dates and hopes to finish the twenty or so paintings already in progress before he is eligible for social security.
As an Ordained Minister, Larry is working to establish a Universal Church where people of color are all treated as family. Please come join the brother and sisterhood of the colorful elite. Come, all those who dare to bare flesh to needle and ink in an act of painful self expression. A badge to show the world that yes, I am not a number, I am my own person and by my choosing to mark my body, I set myself apart from all others. An ancient art with modern creativity and means, a tribal bonding with inner self and the world around us.

Yours truly is featured in an article in the current issue of the UK's Skin Deep Tattoo Magazine. Check it out if you can find a copy.
2007/02/21 20:51 This tattoo I am sure will cause me some trouble and get some crazy responses in both directions and probably some hate mail. The guy who wears it has his own reasons for getting it and I realize that God does have a sense of humor so I am not too worried about burning in hell any time soon for tattooing it. I hope that you all will see the humor in the tattoo and not take it as a sacrilege as it was not meant like that. Considering the open minded people who make up this wonderful site, I figured it was the safest and only site this will be posted on.
