Just wanted to stop in here and say a big thanks for my tattoo, I love it! I came in the first time in April and had all the outline and black and grey done and then came back in Monday to have the color added. I was expecting something great but this has turned out better than I had imagined it would. I already had people stopping me to ask who was doing the work and now that it is finally finished, I probably won't be able to step out of the house without getting stopped.
And to make matters even better... my mother LOVES my tattoo. She has never ever told me she likes any of my other tattoos, but she can't stop looking at this one. She said it looks like a painting on my arm.
I know from here on out AON will be the only place I go for ink and I have been telling anyone who will listen about the shop and the great work you guys do. So once again, Thank You!

WOW!!! That is truly awesome. Now I really can't wait to get some of Dave's work. I just dropped off my deposit yesterday. I plan on getting a traditional Japanese backpiece in Dave's awesome style.

Awesome! i definately dig the "in the works" pictures! the piece came out killer. Dave's work is super clean and totally killer!

from the research i have done on the internet, Dave tedder has the best style of japanese tattoo I have seen, I really like his style, and this piece is just one more example of it.

For US artists doing Japanese style work, Dave is definitely one of the very best, if not THE very best.

There are artists in Japan, of course, doing incredible work in the traditional Japanese style...but to get tattooed by them is so expensive and difficult its nearly impossible (If you live in the US and you aren't insanely wealthy).

I couldn't agree more. I have done a lot of research over the past year and Dave's neo-classic Japanese style is exactly what I want. I can't wait until September when I have the first of many appointments with him. Very awesome work indeed.
