Many moons ago, I had a couple of wee ones done by Pert (Ink Castle)which have weathered well and if I was still living there, I may have more done by him. Not sure on his B&G work though.
Tbh, if I was still at home, I’d be considering travelling to Dublin to Remis Tattoos. His stuff looks seriously amazing!
I’ve found my perfect dragon image for a back tattoo, which I’ve asked for advice on here so I can’t really be all that precious about not sharing it, but it took me an awful long time of trawling through google images using various searches such as “fantasy dragon” etc, etc. Judging by your description, you may be after something like this (ignoring the sword of course.
You’re mixing up your dragons methinks. Her work in progress thread said it was going to be B&G with red/orange. I wanted blue.
Gotta say that that is a fantastic looking tattoo and fits in well with your existing work (in my humble opinion)
I would def go colour and have you considered using the boldness of the new ink to cover the old piece for a better fit?
I am just thinking if you angle it you may need to shift the head and neck of the dragon to the side and lower more so it does not seem out of proportion.

Interesting point about getting the old one covered, which I’d not considered tbh. I’ll have to talk to the artist about that when I locate one to do it. The only slight hitch is that I had my hubby’s name added to it before I got married and this latest tattoo will be his 10th anniversary present to me so seems a little rude to get the original covered up. It does sound like a good excuse to get another tattoo later though 😀
I also had the same concern about the head/neck if the design was angled – I think there needs to be a little bit more movement in the head anyway as from a distance it may become submerged into the body if you know what I mean.
My head tells me the red looks cool, but I am such a blue girl at heart so that’s something I may have to struggle over :p
Back. I’m not a bloke by the way, despite the design.
Problem with the back is that it can’t go horizontal as I have a small something on my left shoulder, hence seeing whether it could go angled.
Cheers for the feedback all by the way – I appreciate it.

Which is pretty much what I want him to do – I want his style and vision but these are examples of what I’ve found similar to where I want him to start from.
I haven’t met the artist – spent a while trying to figure out who to get to do it tbh and reckon based on what I’m after Myth at Indigo is the one to approach first. Totally love his work. I’d be happy to go and meet him if he said he’d design me something in his own style based on some of the things I like, but I don’t want to start off by offending the guy by say “here, you’re great, but can you base me a tattoo on [any other tattoist]’s design?”
I like his B&G style, but I like the designs I’ve seen elsewhere.
