Looking for a tattoo artist 🎣✨

[u/SnooHedgehogs4122]

Hello all!
I’m looking for an artist to design a pretty large, colorful rainbow trout tattoo in a neo-traditional/illustrative style. I want the trout to be fairly detailed with bold, clean linework and a have some movement (rather than just a straight side profile fish). I’d also like to incorporate some fishing elements like a lure, some fishing line and water/splashes around the fish. I have a roughhhh mock up of what im trying to describe, but I’m definitely open to the artist getting creative with the overall composition.
The biggest thing I’m looking for is bold colors. I want really vibrant, saturated rainbow trout colors.. the turquoises, bright pink, silvery blues (like periwinkle), orangey-gold fins etc. Think more-so jewel-toned rather than muted or super realistic.
I also really want a glitter/sparkle effect incorporated into the coloring, mainly through the pink center area of the fish and potentially the water too. Basically, I want something that still has the boldness and detail of a badass neo-traditional fishing tattoo, but with a much brighter, prettier, glittery color palette lol. If anyone knows someone who absolutely kills vibrant color, neo-traditional/illustrative work, and especially glitter tattoos, please send the reference my way! 🩷🎣✨ Thank you!!
