Wow. Some of the work on here is absolutely mind boggling. But as toxic said, alot seems to centre around the tattoo cultures of the states/japan/new zealand so I'm gonna show off some british dudes if you don't mind.
Kamil Mocet - Out of 21 pages he's only been mentioned twice. I find his stuff absolutely mind-boggling though. Like paintings on skin.
Image
Magdalena Zon - Kamil's 1st apprentice (I believe) here in the uk.
Image
Xed LeHead - Dude from Divine Canvas. I hate tribal pattern work but this guy just takes it to another level.
Image
Image
Kurt Janson - This guy is incredible at black and white. He was supposed to do some more work for me but went on holiday and never came back (typical tattooist)
Image
hope you like em.

Sure, it's just a matter of nature, that we look at those things that are closest to us... And I really try not to be a dick about it! I like lots of the US boys too and wear a bunch of their work myself... Try to upload and/or show some of my own collection later on...

And in the end it doesn't matter where things get produced at. It's just a matter of really really good artists and tattoos =)

I try to contribute a bit and I hope you guys don't mind if I do that and talk about my point of view...

e.g. I personally think that Markus Lenhard is unbeaten in the whole biomech/organic department. He is based out of Rotterdam/Berlin and he has probably the most unique style at the moment.

I've been lucky enough to travel the world but when this site first started, we had zero people outside the North America on here. UK, Germany, Sweden, Spain, Denmark, have amazing aritsts and this list can easily be hundreds of names. This was orginally ment for people to see a name associated with a location and help people spend their hard earned money on TALENTED individuals. Keep the names and pics coming, I'll update accordingly.
THANKS

Dallas Texas? Any recommendations for a great artist? North Dallas is best for me. But of course will travel.
