I am wanting to get a tattoo, that is a repensation of my daugther who is about to turn 1 next month. Her name is Alina Pearle. So i am thinking of having a Clam with a mermaid holding a pearl.
The only thing i worry about is it being too feminine, what are some ideas to make this a more masculine tattoo? I know that in the end i will have who ever does my tattoo draw it up, but more or less just throwing different ideas around.
I am thinking black/grey
Would some sort of background be a good addition to this tattoo?
-maybe some japanese/chinese style waves around/under it.
Any other suggestions?
I am wanting it on my lower leg/calf.
In case you haven’t gathered it, this is my first tattoo.
I am debating on these two artists doing it, the first is in town, the second is about 3.5 hrs away.(opinions?)

The other thing i am contemplating is waiting on the “memorial” tattoo until she is older, and get a Kraken attacking a pirate ship in the same spot.
Awesome, loving that pic!
The second artist looks better to me but I wouldn’t go with either but I’m told I am a tattoo snob lol
What are you likes/dislikes of the second artist? What should I look for when picking a artist, to do this tattoo? Do anyone have a recommendation in eastern iowa area?
I am no expert and not from that part of the world but there are a lot better artists. The first one looks pretty bad to my eye, the second looks a lot better but still not someone I would allow to tattoo me!
It is a nice idea and could be very nice with an artist for detail or colours.
One of the others can direct you more.
