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?

Response by poster: Should also add that this will be a relatively small tattoo, and I am under the impression from my previous research that a lot of places tends to prefer bigger project-type tattoos so an artist who is open to a smaller job also welcome

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.
