My idea was a bright and simplified version of horse anatomy since horses are my job/hobby
(sorry about the awful coloring – photoshop is broken so I had to use an online thingy)
Basically, what I want is a medium/palm sized horse colored in a very painterly way – similar to this artist’s work:

I love it bright like that. The actual horse would be done more like this:

But with the colors less blended/dark.
This would be my first tattoo (either upper thigh or shoulder area) so what should I expect time and price wise? Also, can you recommend any good artists in the Socal area?
Which type of horse trainer, racing, dressage, show jumping? I love horses too, I ride regularly but only hacking out, not a marvellous rider but I enjoy it, my eldest granddaughter, aged 7, loves riding too. She has just started having jumping lessons!
my second tattoo is going to be a da vinci style horse
and then i’m getting a pin up wearing hunter show clothes on my calf.
i LOVELOVELOVE horses. its hard not to be addicted
but i love your idea. although your colors probably wont be that bright. but it is a wonderful idea if you can find a good artist. i would look at portfolios and focus mainly on people who do good color, and then look for abstract-like tattoos. then youll know youre getting what you want.
Eventing? I’m too windy, don’t like jumping at all. My granddaughter did a freestyle to music dressage test the other week, only in her riding lesson, she had to make up her own test to include walk, trot, canter, serpentine, two changes of rein, 20m circle and use up all of the school in her test. She made a really good job of it and got in all of her moves and did a lovely halt and salute – her face was so serious too. All this done on a riding school pony, I was very proud of her needless to say. She didn’t get the best marks but didn’t get the worst either! And she’s only just 7 yrs old!
Only seven and already involved with dressage – that’s great! Dressage is a great base for anything and is just an awesome discipline in itself with all the ideas about forward motion and connection.
