Firebird Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong place, I'm a newbie! I am looking to get a black/grey phoenix on my back (with a small amount of colour) I have had some suggestions and been to some shops to chat to some guys but being a newbie to all this (finding a decent artist! my first tattoo was an impulsive walk in years ago and it is crap) I am not sure what I am looking for! My first choice before I started looking around was this guy:- Adam Pekr https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150285110274157.333475.22647969156&type=3 But then someone suggested Jordan https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.316770695028235.75065.178264592212180&type=3 Which one would you choose? What should I be looking for in a good tattoo? Any advice would be gratefully received!

tatB Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Looks like your search is focused in the Manchester area... How about Danny Rossiter at Rain City?

Killercook76 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 i would either go color or all black n grey..

Firebird Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Looks like your search is focused in the Manchester area... How about Danny Rossiter at Rain City? I looked at his work but it isn't the style I am after for this tattoo. (He does some awesome stuff though!) This thread should help :)http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/general-tattoo-discussion/2396-what-makes-good-tattoo.html Thanks - I shall have a read through that. i would either go color or all black n grey.. For a phoenix definitely all color.. I should have been clearer - the phoenix is black and grey and there are other parts of the design which are colour.

tatB Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Fil Wood at Black Crown Tattoo in Leeds just posted a black and gray pheonix on instagram that caught my eye. He also has this fine example of a black and gray pheonix in his portfolio: Japanese Tattoo by Fil Wood Black Crown Tattoo - Black and grey Japanese Phoenix Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3859-opinions-wanted-on-these-guys-for-blackgrey-work-uk/#findComment-67545 Share on other sites More sharing options...

OllieTerrys Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 If you would like a nice Phoenix I highly recommend Richard Pinch in Aberdeen this guy is a legend works with the likes of filip leu and henning, a real legend in the UK. You also have horikitsune in London this man apprenticed under horioshi III for god sake, absoloutly killing it !! And also Stuart Robson at frith St this guys killin it amazing all rounder and one hell of a guy! I mean it when I say all rounder there's not much this guys can't do at the highest level!! Makes me wana quit man!!! Hope iv helped these artists are the best of the best and who I believe will give you the best Phoenix Remember there's nothing wrong with travelling for a good tattoo Hope iv helped Ollie ian and tatB 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3859-opinions-wanted-on-these-guys-for-blackgrey-work-uk/#findComment-69202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
