ironchef Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 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 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 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. ironchef, hogg, Pugilist and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5558-peonies/#findComment-101685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugilist Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Yes, Brian Kaneko's peonies are what made me appreciate peonies! I love them.

growltiger Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 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.

bongsau Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 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 hogg, Fala, ironchef and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5558-peonies/#findComment-101729 Share on other sites More sharing options...

petiloi Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 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 Pugilist, ironchef, daveborjes and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5558-peonies/#findComment-101861 Share on other sites More sharing options...

petiloi Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 @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 tatB, Pete tattoo freak, ironchef and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5558-peonies/#findComment-101927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
