Looking for recommendations for a Bay Area (CA) tattoo artist who can do a fairly large curved b&w hip/side thigh floral piece similar to this temporary tattoo (though not including the rib piece at the moment). Any links and recommendations greatly appreciated!

I’m early in the planning process (probably why I’m more nervous about designs), but found See See Kwan (Berkeley) on IG and then realized she has tattooed my cousin several times and also my friend, lol. So I’m looking at her floral work. I think I like Regina’s work even more, though, and I do like the design options and using photoshop.

I’m looking at getting something similar to the temporary tattoo in the pic (floral/botanical b&w), in terms of placement and size. I have work to do re: specific flowers and stuff. I want it to follow my curves and be feminine and sexy.

I’ve had a tough 2 years with a sudden onset of an illness that no one can really fix and causes me to have to live with discomfort &/or pain most of the time (made worse by most activities and foods/drinks), so it’s taken a lot from me as I’ve adapted to it and tried to just push through.

I want to reclaim my body and my sexuality a bit (and also have some pain that I’m actually choosing, if that makes sense!).

Which one are you in Jan of 2020? She works a lot!
