I don't want to hijack the other tattoo thread, but you guys all had some really great recommendations, so while you're at it... Does anyone know of an artist that does really amazing lifelike marine life? I'm looking to get a GPO over my shoulder and down my arm, but I haven't really found anyone whose style resonates with me. I want it to have a sense of movement, with the colour flush spreading through all of its wrinkles as it awakens and stretches its arms down my arm. The ones I've seen are all either too cartoony, too simple, or really dark in more of a traditional style... I'm looking for more like full colour portraiture. Someone who has spent time observing GPOs would be ideal!
I know that's super specific... I look forward to browsing through your recommendations!
