Go in and explain it just how you did there. They probably have some flash skulls you can have tweaked or have them draw something up. If you don’t have a picture ask them to try it, they are really good at it. I knew what I wanted drawn up but couldn’t find the style I wanted so when I talked to him he did it perfectly, got the side and position set in the first try. I’m so excited about getting my custom are in a couple weeks, it was worth seeing him in person with my mental idea.

Looks, if done right should be great as long as it is important to you. It’s not our bodies so if you want it go for it. Be willing to pay a higher price for a really good artist though. They have serious skills and turn out breath taking tattoos that scratchers and cheap guys only dream of doing. Pain depends on you but a good rule of thumb is the closer to bone the more it will hurt. Being behind the ear it will be sensetive and unless you already have visible tattoos a lot of artists wont put any on the face, neck or hands. Think about where else you’d want it if the artist you want wont do that. Mine wont so just be aware that it’s possible the artist will advice against going down onto your neck. Take your time, it sounds great just talk to an artist to work out the details!
