How hard would it be to get this tattoo done and would it be extremely costly? i’d probably get it on my forearm

edit: the reason I’m asking is because the shop I would like to go to is a solid 40 minutes away and I already drove down once for them to tell me they could not do the tattoo I wanted

I should think that would be next to impossible, even as a full backpiece.

ok thank you and were they correct in telling me 3 bands around my arm is very very difficult and would not turn out well? it seemeed simple enough to me just 3 circles but apparently not?

What do you mean 3 bands around yoru arm?

If I’m understanding you correctly, that should be a very easy thing to do. The spacing will NEVER be 100% even, however, and it’ll look quite bad IMO.

hmm like 3 thin stripes going around my forearm with a very small space between each so the total width or whatever is about an inch and a half

Yeah. It won’t look good IMO. Just too bland and boring. Why do you want that?

I dont want something real flashy… but they said the circles wouldnt be symmetrical and it would be “lumpy”

Well, if they can’t make the circles (more or less) symmetrical, they’re a crap studio. It’s not that big of a deal to create a stencil that wraps around your arm. The lines would, obviously, never be completely straight.. simply because straight lines, right corners and perfect circles are impossible on skin. But it would be close enough.

Just like your first link, way too detailed to work as it is. How did you get from three black lines to full-spectrum fantastically intricate color pieces?
