Liesel Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 This is my first time posting a thread so sorry if it's in the wrong place. I want to get a tattoo of an edelweiss flower behind my ear with soft edges, something that looks almost like a watercolor painting. I live in Charlotte, North Carolina and I was hoping someone would have a recommendation on someone within a 3 hr drive of the area that is really good at that particular style. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1069-looking-for-an-artist-recommendation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shit Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 You might wan't to get it in a better location.There's not much space for something like that behind the ear.Maybe the back of the neck would be a better spot.

Liesel Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Thanks for the advice. I don't think the back of the neck would be good for me since I don't wear my hair long enough to cover my whole neck and I may have a career change later in life but maybe the shoulder blade would be a better spot. Those guys have some great portfolios. I'm glad I started this thread, I'd never even heard of those shops before.

Wedge Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I don't know if he's still there or not but the only artist I can think of in NC is Taylor Cort.

chrislj54 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Check out Ace Custom. Rodney Raines, Chris Stuart and crew seem legit to me.

Joe Shit Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 This guy Paris also does realistic color work. Tattoo | Tattoo Studio | Piercing | Permanent Makeup - Charlotte NC Taylor Cort is a good tattooer,but he's in Asheville.Ace Custom as mentioned is also real good.Rodney Raines does excellent work,but i'm sure he's booked up for a long time.It sounds like you wan't the tattoo to be in a realistic style.If that's the case,i think Hayley,Paris,and Chris & Steve from Immortal Images would be best for that style.

Liesel Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 Everybody's input is great. I went ahead and sent Hayley a message since it says on her webiste that it takes her awhile to get back to people. I like to mull over my tattoo ideas for awhile before I actually get them so I'm 100% sure about them so I probably won't get it done until winter, maybe I will hear from her by the time I'm ready. I have heard of Taylor Cort somewhere before and I have family in Ashville so sometimes I'm there anyway, so that's something to consider. I really like some of Chris and Paris' pieces too, so I've got some good options now amd a great reference for anything I else I might be considering in the future since I tend to prefer color work. Thanks to everyone that responded.
