yeah, i do know what i'm getting (a black and grey dinosaur)! i just don't know if i should place it on my ankle, slightly under the knee bend or randomly somewhere on the upper thigh now that we are on the same page Well if its ur first, i guess it depends on how ur pain tolerance is? ankle ankle suuuucuks but above your ankle on your leg is fine, slightly under the knee bend wont be great either probably. Thigh should be a walk in the park tho. while pain is an important factor to keep in mind i think the main thing i'm going crazy over is where to best work from with further tattoos. if that makes any sense. maybe i just need to see the final design to know where to put it but until them i'm overthinking also love how you casually but accidentally threw sucuk in your post. loved that stuff back when i ate a lot of meat |

How do you guys get the design done btw? I have quite a few ideas I want on myself, but do you approach the tattoo artist with it and he designs, or you ask a completely different person, or how it is?

the knee isnt as bad as people make it out to seem. it wasnt the best part of my leg, but there are FAR worst spots to get it done.

I have quite a few ideas I want on myself, but do you approach the tattoo artist with it and he designs, or you ask a completely different person, or how it is? pending on how your artist works. i've become friends with the artists before hand, so then i have a relationship with them. usually just talk to them n facenook and work it out. usually a regular thing would be to call a shop, book a consultation. go there, talk about what you want, they size up the spots, you email reference photos after, or a solid idea. they spend x amount of time on a small sketch, see if thats the way you wan to take it. go from there. and it just keeps going and going until its what you want. you usually have to leave a deposit to confirm. if you dont end up liking it and you wanna go to someone else, they keep the cash as a fee for wasting their time. or, you get that much off the tattoo because it was a down payment |

Probably a little late for this but I'm going on a road trip from Nashville to Virginia 24 June to 8 July and I would love to add to my arm. Anyone have any suggestions for good neo traditional artists that aren't already crazy booked?

Its always 100000% better to just tell the artists what you want. They are artists for a reason, they can draw good. Thats why u gotta find a style u like. also deposit is also important. seen someone kick off last time i was there for losing a deposit. so dumb. |
