Help with material for Japanese tattoo

joey100

After finally saving enough money I am going to get started working on japanese 3/4 sleeve. Pretty much decided on artist too, just having a problem finding some material for him to look at so he can see what I have in mind.

Lookin for something a bit different than the normal bold style japanese, hoping for 'Paler' or more Autumnal Colours(Think thats th right description!) colours with a background of grey rather than the deep black and with a fair bit of untattooed skin showing thru (Pretty specific, I know)

Something along the lines of this artist www.fabriziodivari.com (Recommend lookin at his site anyway, some great work).

So to finally get to the point if anyone knew of artists who have a similar style, just lookin for pics, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading this, Joey

Depends on what elements you are planning on incorporating into the pic, but as you mentioned "Autumnal", I assume you are including trees. Japanese Maple trees would be often used to depict something that is inherently Japanese, but in autumn is when they are at their brightest and most vivid, as their leaves turn bright shades of yellow, orange and red.

Spring colours may give you more the range of paler colours that you are hoping for, and could incorporate blossoms too, whereas blossoms/flowers would be gone by autumn.
