I want to get a tattoo on my side/ribs in memory of my Mom with a line from a book she used to read from me and her favorite bird (a cardinal). I think I want photo realistic, but I would be open to non-cartoonish water color or neo-traditional if the artist is particularly good at it.

Also, I am wanting to finish my forearm panel with various flowers. I want them to be colorful, but don’t have a particular style in mind.

I live in Atlanta, Georgia, but am willing to drive a little while if needed for a killer artist. Suggestions greatly appreciated!
