Fala Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I've been charged with finding an artist (preferably in the NYC metro area) who can do killer orchids. This, for me, is a difficult request because I've yet to see an orchid tattoo that doesn't look overly flat. Orchids are tough to paint, photograph and draw, let alone tattoo! They do not seem to translate to tattoos well for me, at least not for my aesthetic. I would love some recommendations: realistic, Japanese... it doesn't matter. Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated! beez 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fala Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Funny @Graeme and @BrianH - those are the two artists that first sprung to mind. Great minds ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixieFaux Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Do you think your friend will let you post a pic of it after it's done @Fala? I had once considered an orchid tattoo myself...never took the next step and probably won't, but would love to see one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fala Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 I don't see why not @TrixieFaux. From what I understand this is pre-preliminary research/thinking... TrixieFaux 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoistTowelette Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Maybe Kris Busching for realistic color, Tye Harris or Eric Marcinizyn for realistic bng, and Garver for Japanese style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
