A solid idea is great, but…
It ain’t gonna ink itself.
Find an artist you trust and get a collaboration going. Until you talk to a tattooist (and likely place a deposit) you are just wasting time. You get serious when you commit to that, not when you figure out what you want.

Right. And sometimes a collaboration will take the tattoo in a great new direction. I do all original work. I refuse to rip off another artist’s ink. Show your artist the picture that INSPIRES you and help them come up with YOUR tattoo. More than once I have had to tell a client, “no I wont do that tattoo, its already been done.”
Ideas however, are free for the taking.
Yeah I really need to find an artist in my area. I was going to ask if anyone wanted to draw something out, I have paypal if your a professional and serious, that I could ask for or talk about here locally but then read the originality post and thought that another artist would probably be hmmmm upset if I brought a drawing in from elsewhere and asked him to use it or work with it. :confused:
