Internationally renowned tattoo artist Cecil Porter is at 252 Tattoo‘s Cleveland studio (11721 Bellaire Rd.) studio for two-week visit. The wielder of needles is known for morbid portrait work, so if you’re looking for a detailed tribute to Gollum, Leatherface, or just a plain old scowling Clint Eastwood, he’s your man. Porter’s also an ace at Japanese art, nature pics, and black-and-gray. Porter will be there through June 11. — D.X. Ferris
