alanna7181 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hello, I was searching for a photorealistic tattoo artist that was within a 4 hour drive from my house in hopes that if multiple trips were needed to complete the piece I could give more money to the artist than for travel expenses. I was looking to get a really high quality piece of art on my arm. I wanted to get a black and grey tattoo to add on to a memorial tattoo I have with bear tracks. I wanted a baby bear and mother bear walking towards a cave with a male bear standing by the cave. Behind the cave I wanted a skyline of black trees with blue ink fading up into the sky. I'm in Rochester, NY and I'd be willing to travel to Canada/Pennsylvania for this piece too. Thanks in advance for your help!

MoistTowelette Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 download "The Brag Art List" on iTunes or Google Store to your mobile device to see all the top notch artists in your area. and no, this isn't spam. the app was created by tattoo enthusiasts for enthusiasts. pidjones 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6472-in-search-of-a-photorealistic-tattoo-artist/#findComment-118678 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool idea though.

Cool idea though. they still have around 1000 artists to add to the list and it is being done manually so it will take a bit of time. tatB 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6472-in-search-of-a-photorealistic-tattoo-artist/#findComment-118680 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Vero at Tattoomania in Montreal does first rate realism and while she's maybe a little bit farther away than you were wanting--Rochester to Montreal is an easy five hour drive--you can take advantage of the low Canadian dollar.

MoistTowelette Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 On a related note, if I were to get bng realism in NY my first choice would be Yomico Moreno at Last Rites.

That low Canadian dollar is killing me right now. We are headed to LA next week, and the exchange rate is debilitating.

Yeah, I'm glad that when I was travelling to New York to get tattooed that the dollar was more or less even. I couldn't have done it at the current exchange rate. It's brutal.

JAllen Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Tom renshaw, doing realistic black and gray animal/nature has been his thing for longer than most folks have been tattooing. He's in Michigan, which is a little over 5 hours from Rochester.

jen7 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Shane o'neill, middletown DE. 6 hour drive from you. I am on my third trip and it's not a bad ride down. Long wait though. Black and grey photo is his thing. Jesse Rix in Keene NH does great wildlife also.
