When you’re getting a piece of art riveted onto your body that’s going to last the rest of your life, there’s no screwing around. Monolith Tattoo Studio gets that. That’s why they hire only the most qualified and talented artists. The shop’s staff are versed in every aspect of tattooing, grey scale realism, traditional, color realism, Celtic tribal, portrait and more. Because it’s the Best of Central Oregon issue, we asked our readers to send in their best Bend-inspired tattoos and our winner is a sleeve by Ryan Osborne, one of the six full-time artists at Monolith. Hit up Monolith for your very own rendition of the smokestacks or a portrait of Mayor Jim Clinton. (BB)
