No, not promoting anything. I hadn’t even heard of that shop until I searched for it today. I was just seeing if there were any other good options. Yes I posted on another forum the same question and it was a good thing I did because I found another good suggestion there. If posting links in reference to other artists is against the rules then by all means edit/erase this thread. It makes no difference to me, I’m just looking for help on the question. If this isn’t the place for it then I’m sorry I wasted you’re time 🙂

good points. I agree that she does seem one dimensional, but again that is okay with me. Some people are just good at one thing, I don’t really care if I only want that style from them and her work matches what I want done on a few pieces. Will they be boring if I get more than one? Maybe to some people, but if she’s good at that one style then that’s all that really matters to me. Which is why I was just wondering what ya’ll thought about the quality of what she does, not her lack of versatility 🙂 but thanks for the comments, helpful as usual.

Alisha at Lifetime of Sol in Denver. Here’s some more of her work: http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?aid=177842&id=277729108798

no problem 🙂 I can understand that, there’s a couple styles that I’m really not particularly a fan of either so I know what you’re saying. And this isn’t necessarily a traditional Japanese tattoo, just a Japanese woman in the style of my artist. I think you’re right that the blue design is touching the outline, I might go back for a quick touch up to have her run the black line back over so to cover that. we’ll see.

forgot to add this one:

Got it finished. Thought I’d post pics here instead of starting a new thread. The artist wanted to take some before I left so these were taken 10 minutes after it was finished, thus the swelling and blood etc. Ignore the huge scar/stretch mark, it will go down eventually. I will try to get another picture of the tree when I can.

Or you can go here to see them, and other tattoos done by her: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=5268540&id=277729108798&fbid=420124243798#!/photo.php?pid=5268538&id=277729108798&fbid=420124213798
