Seeking Ink Blot Bird Tattoo Artist

I'm looking for tattoo artist recommendations in NYC or Boston who specialize in black and white watercolor or ink blot style bird tattoos. I've seen examples online but can't find the artists.

New Ink Mishap After Shower

I accidentally wiped my fresh tattoo instead of patting it dry after a shower, and a section of the purple ink appears to be gone. This happened four days after getting the tattoo, which seems too soon for the ink to be completely removed. I'm confused as I've never experienced this with my other tattoos.

Drunk Meatwad Cover-Up Success

I'm absolutely thrilled with this new tattoo, especially since it was a cover-up! You can't even tell the old one was there. It’s a fun piece that completely transformed my skin.

Geometric Lion and Tiger Pair

I got these incredible geometric lion and tiger pieces done in Pompano Beach. They represent strength and ferocity, and I love how the clean lines and sharp angles turned out.
