BTW, I have a peony from Mike Rubendall that I adore...

Do you have a picture of the peony? I'm familiar with his name; though, I might end up going with Rose!

Thanks for all your advice, and friendly welcoming =) 

I was thinking about going to Rose Hardy, but I'm not sure if she does Japanese style work?

Hello,

I currently have this tattoo on my left bicep. 

I'm looking to get a peony tattooed on my right bicep (approximately the same size as the rose). I live in NYC, and was looking into Matt Beckerich at Kings Ave Tattoo. I like this piece of his:

Particularly, the purple peony. However, Matt only works on Wednesday at the parlor, and he is a bit pricey (approximately $250/hr). I was wondering if anyone knew of any artist/shops in the NYC area with similar skills/capabilities as Matt in creating peonies. Preferably, someone more affordable would be good too, but money is not really the issue. Availability of the artist is definitely a big plus--if they work evenings/weekends.

Please let me know if you have any advice regarding who I can get the piece from!

Thanks!!

Welcome to LST. there are tons of great artists in New York who are more than capable of putting on a beautiful peony.

The first few shops that come to mind are Invisible, Adorned, Three Kings, Kings Ave, and Saved.

Good luck!  Let us know how it goes.

 

 

Thanks! I've heard of those shops, but I only really know rg from Invisible, and he doesn't seem like the type to do small pieces, and Rose Hardy from Kings Ave (who I may consider). Is there anyone else specific in those shops who you really recommend? 

Hi,

I currently have a rose on my left upper arm, and I am interested in getting a peony tattooed on the other arm (upper right). Below, is the Instagram picture of the rose: 

I was wondering if anyone knew of good artists who specialized in peonies; I envision the peony to be approximately the same size as the rose. Any tips or advice is appreciated!

Thank you!
