Thanks. I think he did a great job too. It’s just a design that leapt out to me when I saw it. I just really liked it when I saw it. The more I saw it, the more I liked it. That kind of thing.

Hello Matthew,

Thank you for the response and the link. They have an excellent assortment for sure.

I really like this one done by Pat Fish. This one appears to be on the shoulder blade. I have a very ornate Celtic Cross that’s hung on my wall for years. I have a few ideas in mind for it:

1. Use my cross and have the claddagh heart design added to it.
2. Use my cross by itself
3. 2D or 3D

Once I get them drawn up I will know for certain which design I want to use.

Is there a reason there are not many crosses done in 3D? From a tattoo artist perspective is it overly difficult to accomplish? Is it something that generally doesn’t turn out well? I am not very artistically inclined so I have to rely on those that are for a little input.

I appreciate your explanation about my location question too. I am probably going to end up with it on my right shoulder blade and was thinking 7-8″ for my height and build. I am leaning heavily toward this because a tattoo of my daughter’s face will likely end up on my left shoulder blade.

You are right though that not many will agree on it… I have asked many people and to a varying degree end up with different answers.

Thank you,
Craig
