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.
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!
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.
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
