Found this image of a raven tat-
Raven_4_by_DarkSunTattoo.jpg
I’d really like something the same, is it good form to just take this into my artist and have them draw it up for me based on this picture???

Most artists won’t do that, make sure you have a very good tattoo artist, and try and find a real picture of a raven in that pose, and i’m sure he/she will draw something awesome up

I don’t think your artist will mind if you bring that photo in and tell him or her you want something similar. Just don’t ask the artist to copy it exactly.

Most tattoo artists apriciate it when you bring refrence matrial,but most will want to put their own spin or style on it.no one wants to copy a tattoo but in a buisnes like this sometimes you cant avoid it.the clients want what they want and as long as they are stoked about the tat so am i.

Thanks guys, pretty much what I thought.
Found this pic and depending what’ll fit better on my chest/shoulder I’ll ask for something to be drawn up.

You should just bring both, and even more if you find them. Let the artist do what he thinks best, but supply him with good material to work from.

Already emailed both of them to the shop today. Just got to see what will work on my chest and shoulder as I already have a chest plate on my rh side. T hey might even suggest elsewhere to get it to work properly.

Are you familiar with what the raven represents? Is this going to be a tribute?

Hadn’t considered other meanings and it’s not a tribute. I’d been reading Edgar Allen Poe’s ‘The Raven’ and wondered what the difference between a Raven and a Crow was. So after googling it, I saw the picture in my first post and thought it would make a cracking tattoo.
Some people might associate it with darker meanings but for me it’ll just be a fantastic bit of art on my body.

I see. Different Celtic tales tell of the Raven and/or the crow being deliverers of death/ protectors of the soul. Though an EAP themed piece would be cool… But only if you added a chamber door.

An EAP themed tat might be one way to take. A Raven sat on a bust of Pallas is one thought. A chamber door is another option,a chamber pot isn’t!!!!!
