Thanks, BW. Guess I’ll be taking a little trip to Nashville in a few months. Never thought I’d do portrait, but I have this huge blank canvas on my right and I really want to celebrate my inner freak with a more feminized Sharon Needles.

Not that it matters, but what’s the general consensus of women with pin-ups?

I got a reply six days after from the assistant, Lauren. I think we speak different languages. (She somehow thought “biological woman” meant “copy tattoo exactly of a drag queen using photorealism. I have to work on my communication and not use medical speak when talking to people in other career paths. Apparently “softening features” is rather unclear.

John only wants to do a pin-up from the bust up. If it looks passable on the right side, cool. If he can convince me photorealism works and this will look good from the bust up, more power to him – It has the potential to look neo-Roman, almost. Really hoping he wants to do this.
