himynameisdanny Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Hello all! I'm super stoked to be a member of lastsparrowtattoo! I'm from Long Island NY, and currently have 1 tattoo on my right calf which takes up the entire calf. It is a black and grey Celtic cross with a claddah in the center. A sort of Celtic/Tribal fusion in my opinion. I am interested in getting a realism/portrait of a panda bear, but I want real quality work. Like picture perfect. Does anyone have any artists that they can recommend for this style of tattoo? Long Island, NYC, Tri-State, East Coast are my preferred locations but any suggestions across the county are more than welcome. Looking forward to hearing from y'all and thanks for having me!

sora777 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Hey Danny I'm from Long Island as well bili Vegas does good realism work he is on the island. Do you have a budget in mind as far as how much you want to spend an hour because that will narrow it down quite a bit. Welcome to the forum.

himynameisdanny Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Thank you Sora I will cerainly look into Mr. Vegas. As far as budget, no not necessarily. This is a tattoo for my young cousin who has recently passed. I want a portrait realism of his favorite animal, the panda bear. It must be detailed and beautiful, I am willing to spend the money.

It seems that they are mostly known for there traditional japanese work. "known for" = agreed, but without digging too deep into the various portolios (and none of the guest ones) both Skinny and Rose do excellent portrait work. Nice thing about a shop like that is you don't really have to worry much about quality. No one there is going to take on work they don't already excel at.

himynameisdanny Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Tomorrow is the day! I have a 6 hour block with Mr. Adamek tomorrow afternoon. I'll post pics after completion. Can anyone give me an estimate of an hourly tip rate for a tattoo of this caliber?
