Seattle Tattoo Recommendation

Pretty straightforward: looking for a recommendation for an artist for a specific tattoo design
I've wanted a second tattoo for awhile and am getting fired up for it now in quarantine. I know places may not be opening up soon or some maybe at all, but any starting points are helpful. I have one tattoo I got a long time ago that is just text so my search for an artist was pretty different then.
I want to get a Corelle design (specifically Butterfly Gold, which is an icepick of nostalgia to my brain) that depends on uniformity and precision. I've found examples online of Corelle and Corningwear that I don't like because they're just not precise enough (including a different pattern, from a Seattle artist that I was so excited about, but it just looked uneven and sloppy). Does anyone have recommendations for an artist in Seattle (or Seattle-ish; I would go to Bellingham or Portland but would prefer to stay close) who could do this kind of work?

Bastien Jean does amazingly precise pattern work, and travels pretty often to Vancouver, BC - you could try to book with them when they're there!

I have a set of tattoos by Sage Trail in Portland which are amazingly symmetrical and precise.
