it’s a toss up between kat and garver. i love kat and she is so very talented but i am not big on black and grey. i love color. so garver wins, plus he is super hot!

it’s normal, because it is on your leg which is farther away from your heart so your circulation to the area isn’t as good. my husband has had both of his legs tattooed and he experienced something similar.

your best bet would be to utilize one of those tattoo shops you spoke of. it doesn’t cost for you to look at the artists portfolios so look at them until you find an artist who’s work you love. (ask if they personally drew the tattoos and that it’s not flash) then you may feel better about paying some money up front. my artist required a deposit when i first started going to him, many custom artists do. BUT if at any time i had not liked the drawing he came up with all i had to do was show him what i didn’t like or what i wanted changed and he would do it. all artists want you to be happy with the work that you get and will work with you to make it right for you.

not at all. i have quite a few friends who have gotten tattoos of paintings. my husband is planning on getting one soon too. i have never really found a painting that has awed me so much that i want to get it permanently inked on my body but if it means that much to you, you should definitely get it.
however you should wait until you are old enough to get the tattoo legally (if you aren’t already) and you should also be careful of your artist selection because a great tattoo idea can really turn out awful if the wrong person does it. artist selection is THE most important aspect of getting a tattoo in my opinion.

to get any kind of detail, especially with a penny the tattoo would have to be fairly large but the artist would be the best person to tell you the ideal size for the tattoo. i would say the whole thing would need to be atleast five inches tall and however wide to make it look proportionate. when i imagine the image you describe i see a realistic sun, like a sunset just very round but with a kind of blur on the edge. i see a branch with the bird perched on it in front of the sun so it would look like you were watching a sunset but the bird is in front of you obstructing your view of the whole sun.
that’s just my first impression. i hope that helped some.

please be sure to pick a talented artist to do your tattoo. there are plenty of artists out there but not plenty of good ones. your tattoo sounds like it could be awesome but it could also totally suck if you get a bad artist.

it sounds like it is doing fine but the socks and shoes definitely didn’t help anything. that is one of the most important things when healing a foot tattoo. you shouldn’t be using any antibacterial cream or ointment on it. are you washing it with soap or just water? you should be washing it with an antibacterial soap a few times a day but it sounds like everything else is going good. the swelling will go down if you keep it elevated for a few days.

do you just want to see what it looks like or are you looking to get a similar tattoo?? any tattoo artist who specializes in custom japanese style tattoos could do something for you. my tattoo artist loves to do japanese masks and is great at it. check him out

whenever i have my back worked on i put on a tank top then my bra then another shirt that way the bra strap doesn’t rub directly on the new tattoo, also wear a bra that is a little lose so it won’t be too tight.
