Okay so I’m a tattoo virgin and I have been craving to get one for a while now, but I just can’t seem to find anything that satisfies what I really want on me for the rest of my life. I don’t want to end up like most young girls my age getting something meaningless like some stupid tramp stamp or w.e. I think I want something with horses, I have worked with horses my entire life, I was born on the chinese year of the horse, am a Sagittarius for Zodiac sign, and also Love the Depiction of Pegasus with wings. I want a tattoo that will show strength, but I’m not an artist by any means and have no idea how to put this all together. Any suggestions would be great!! Thanks!
go and explain that in exactly the same way to your artist of choice and they will draw something up for you 😉
Yeah dude, what he said.
Me, I’m not 100% happy with my first piece of ink. Same guy did that one that did the rest of my admittedly awesome ink (shut up! they ARE awesome!), but since I was a tattoo virgin and didn’t know him then, I insisted on drawing it up myself. It didn’t come out bad, but had I just chilled out and told my tattoo artist what I wanted in general terms, it would have come out MUCH better.
So, the pro tip is to always find yourself a good professional artist, tell him what you want in general terms (what you said here was almost perfect) and letting him to draw it up. Usually they’ll come up with something awesome you didn’t know you wanted.
Love. Peace. Metallica.

My last tattoo I got(well still working on it), I knew I wanted a mad scientist. I went and told my artist only that, and he came up with something that isn’t what I would have come up with, but I like it better than what I had pictured in my head.
Hi Icon
They are all correct – when we pay for a tattoo we are not really paying for the ink. We are actually paying for the artistic ability of the artist to put our ideas down on ‘living canvas’.
Pegasus has often been seen in Greek mythology as both a tragic and strong character. Tragic because they were the last of their kind, but strong because they were a majestic animal and continued to live on after their herd was killed.
The tale makes for great reading.
That said the pegasus also makes a very fine feminine type tattoo.
Take Care

Unless you put a big floppy dong on the thing.
Love. Peace. Metallica.
It’s okay if the dong is in blacklight ink. Then you wont know till you’re at a rave or something.
