Thank you for your response, and the questions are quite welcome. If you happen to find any pictures that you think would work especially well as a tattoo. Because I’m still uncertain about so much of this, I’m planning on waiting AT LEAST the seven months until I turn 18. My parents are in full support of the idea, but they agree with me that I need to give it quite a bit more time and thought.
I’m not sure exactly in what situation I would need to cover it, but I would like to have it as an option. As for size, I’m thinking five inches or so from the highest to the lowest point. I’m also a pretty small person so that may have to be adjusted depending on how it looks and where it goes.
I also just realized I phrased the beginning of my first post oddly. “For sentimental reasons, I have started thinking seriously about getting my first tattoo.” isn’t exactly what I meant. The blackbird is what’s significant and sentimental, not the tattoo itself.
I’m not sure if that was excessive or not, but I thought I would play it safe.
I completely agree about working closely with an artist to get it perfect, especially because it would be my first tattoo, and I don’t want a bad experience to put me off tattoos forever. I just think they can be so beautiful and are such a special form of expression. My main issue is that I have no artist to work with currently, and don’t know how to find one.
If you have any answers or feedback, I would be so thankful.
