Peonies

[ironchef]

Having gotten into collecting tattoos, I've a new found appreciation and fondness of peonies. Currently wear three different peonies from three different artists (Henning, Rubendall, Wendy Pham) and will definitely be adding more in the future. I would love to see different interpretations of peonies collected from different artists or hear who you think does nice peonies. I'm kicking around the idea of sleeving my knee and lower leg in peonies, either from one artist or a collection of artists. I'll share two artists off the bat that have been recommended to me:

Matt Deverson from Australia:

Rodrigo Souto working in the UK and is actually coming out with a peony book!

[Avery Taylor]

Rodrigo makes beautiful tattoos, and is coming to Kings Ave in a couple of weeks. Brian Kaneko's are my favourite right now, and I hope to get one on my knee.

Yes, Brian Kaneko's peonies are what made me appreciate peonies! I love them. Stolen from his IG:

My peonies from Rodrigo Souto (brand new in this picture so very swollen, nicked from his Instagram. They've healed up perfectly). He's a lovely bloke too.

Only a few posts in and I already have an idea stewing for a leg sleeve full of peonies....keep them coming!

Love it!

I've got peonies on one of my arms behind some spiritual cranes.

Also a pair of peonies on each knee...get it? Pee-knees...yes hilarious

What I love about peonies is that you can contrast the colours between the inside and outside of the leaves. And make that contrast as subtle or wild as you'd like. Purple/Blue, orange/bubblegum-pink, white/mint-green, orange, red, blue, neon-pink, make em nice and fluffy haha

@bongsau Let's see some pics of those awesome Pee-knees!!!

@Joe Shit Can you believe Wendy is just 28??? So talented and really down to earth too. Definitely a rising star in the tattoo world and I plan on getting more work from her in the future.

My wife has peonies from Junii, they are absolutely stunning and Deverson is one of my favorite all around flower guy. That being said, check out Kevin Marr's peonies and Chris Brand's they are some of my favorite out there

[Iwar]

Horitoshi I! And anyone affiliated with the Horitoshi family for that matter. Those whites...

[petiloi]

@Iwar the white pigment most of the horitoshi family uses is made by Dr.Claw (Matt) at Diamond Club. The company name is el Blanco ink. Junii and Bill are part of the family hence there access. You can almost always tell who is horitoshi family by their peonies

by Nora Townsend, I'm getting a small peony like these next Friday from her!! I'll be sure to post pics, but I loooove her peonies.

[SeeSea]

@HaydenRose - those peonies feel so soft and delicate - amazing. Can't wait to see yours!

[CShaw]

All these pics are gorgeous, and all so different.

These are from Lara Scotton at Daredevil in NYC, a cover-up taken from her instagram:

I haven't gotten any of mine colored in yet, but I have an appt soon :)

A healed, and much better photo of my peony I got a couple weeks back. Much simpler than what's been posted. Done by Glennie at the Pearl Harbor Gift Shop.

Wish I could post mine. But it's still healing and looking pretty dry. Will post soon. Peonies make beautiful tattoos.
