    Hi, I’m getting my first tattoo and have decided to get this one:

    image_zps62a8a7dd.jpg

    Love is not going to be in red but my 3 childrens names are, getting it as big as possible on my upper arm.
    Do you guys have any advice, ideas or small changes that you would do?

    I have already picked my tattoo artist, Fred Perez from Chicago Tattoo Co. In Orlando.. Orlando’s Top Tattoo Studio and Custom Tattoo Designs | Chicago Tattoo Co
    Have to wait 1 – 1 1/2 month before he have time, so hoping to get some ideas to Tweak it a little bit,
    Thanks

    Sam’s right. I like the idea. One thing important to do with a good tattoo artist is to surrender creative control and hand a firm but flexible idea over to them.

    Its a cool tattoo, but i think you be more happy to get it more personalised. Maybe do a different text that suit you more. Or if you are dead set on that just do it that way.:)

    You tell us if you need to change anything, if your asking if anything needs changing there must be something your not happy with.

    btw please do not COPY someone elses CUSTOM tattoo. you can use that as inpiration, but a REAL tattoo artist make the idea his own. i checked out fred’s portfolio and he is just a little above average. too bad you didnt go with the artist i recommended. good luck tho and post pics when done.

    I am going to personalise it, all the text will be changed.. My 3 kids name is going to be were freedom, family and tolerance is in red.. I have asked the tattoo artist to do his version of it, didn’t get a sketch yet.
    Did try to get Frank Lanatra to do it, but he will only do the style his is know for, colors, and nothing with names.. I understand he has a styles he is sticking to and he was very nice and toke the time to email back and forward 🙂

    ok i just dont want you to have to settle for an artist. i want you to have the best possible option, even if it means having to wait for that artist.
