Cute little tattoos are becoming almost like ear piercings IMO and they are perceived as more of an accessory then art. I don’t ever see moderate to heavily tattooed people ever becoming fully accepted. The problem being the actual act of bo…[Read more]

Even if it was “deeply” discounted because you are sitting that long, that is still way too much of a discount to sound like the work would be good, and I don’t think I would put my body thru that even if it was legit.

Need to get better pics. Another cat portrait added, this one wraps around the back of my leg, hard to get a picture that does not look akward, also had my preexisting ankle tattoo reworked, the knot was there, she added in the torn parchment around it. One more cat portrait to go than finishing touches.

You can start collecting pictures of the type of style you are going for and of “outdoor-sy” images you like. Then find a good artist willing to help you design it and just tell you them you don’t want it to be too over the top.
