Realism/Color Artist So-Cal Area

Looking for recommendations for a color realism artist in or around the Southern California area for a friend of mine. I have artists I prefer for my own style but a friend was asking to find someone to help him complete his space/color half sleeve. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated with any possible names or IG profiles to check out. Looking to add/complete the arm for his existing work.

Thoughts on Local Artist

There is a local artist that my daughter wants to go to. I am not an artist. Would like to know what you all think about the work.

Got this done a while back and still struggling to tie up some ideas around the tattoo? Any suggestions would be great

I am tattoo apprentice with no tattoos and need to fix that. What do you think of this design I made of my cat? CC welcome

I am horribly indecisive should I get this or start over from scratch?? Help

Would this be a good chest tattoo? I want it on one side of my chest. In a different font as well. Are there any fonts you’d stay away from?

Just got this tattoo

I did not bleed nor scab and it doesn't even itch me. Not even plasma. I should note that the artist is very talented and told me he doesn't go very deep. Will this affect how long the tattoo stays on my body? And does it say more about the tattoo itself or my body? all answers are appreciated, thank you in advance!

by Felipe, High Vibez in Isla Mujeres

Love this design and Felipe just killed the linework and shading

Should I go back to this artist?

This is three years healed, got it on kind of a whim. It's pretty large on my rib/underboob area. I've been thinking of maybe getting the same sort of tattoo just mirrored on my other rib. Should I go back to this artist or find someone new? I've always liked it, maybe a little darker than I imagined but I've been happy with it.

I’m obsessed but what do you all think?

Just got this tattoo a week ago. The artist is Ryan Jordan from Visually Speaking Tattoo in Mesa, Arizona. However I was lucky enough to comes to Chicago once a month to guest appearance at 2 shops.

How Can I Elevate My Tattoo?

So I LOVE this tattoo, I think it’s super cute and simple, but I’m wondering how I can elevate it, or add to it? I feel like it kinda looks like a temporary tattoo design you get out of one of those quarter machines? (But like I also love it??). Any advice would be lovely

Thoughts on new tat

I loooove the design, the artist did a perfect job of executing my idea. This is my first large/more visible piece (on the front of my thigh). It's been 3 weeks and I'm having a hard time getting used to seeing it, even though I love the design. Any advice on getting used to a larger piece? I wanna continue to add onto my leg but I hate the post-tattoo anxiety.
