Hello all,

I really want a tattoo of an old sail ship on my forearm. I love the way sailing ships with large stacked sails look.

I want my tattoo to have vibrant colors that pop. I want a very strong 3D effect. I want strong confident lines. I want talented proportions.

Attached is a sample picture of what I want (although I will give my artist creative freedom)

(look at his sailing ship tattoos)

Should I go to either of the following artists?

Olympia, WA Spider Monkey Tattoos

Artist Bryan’s portfolio:

Seattle WA Slave to the Needle

Honest Jon’s portfolio:

Would you guys let either of these artists tattoo you, or are there better artists I should be looking at?

Thanks in advance for your help.

p.s. If I gave the artist my full forearm is that enough room to do a ship tattoo? Or is the forearm too limiting of a space?
