I hear you. Thanks I will

Welcome to the forum.

Sounds like you are going to have lots of time to plan your tattoo and research artists while you are saving up, and this is a good thing. Warning: A good artist will probably cost more than you are expecting, but will be well worth it in the end. Don’t look for the best deal, look for the best…

Haha thank you. I am happy to be here!

I will. Thanks for posting.

Thank you! I have already guessed it will be very expensive, but I am happy to pay. I would never look for the best deal.

Thanks for the reply. But I have already have an idea of some artists as I said. I have been searching for artists based on their work not their location. I will travel I necessary.
