First of all I never wanted to inconvience the artist or their shop.I am not that insensitive that I would do this just cause I can or to waste peoples time.
The shop was actually very nice about it and supported my decision to hold off on it untill I am 100% sure.
As I mentioned before this is my first tattoo,and it took me 3 months to find a design that I was passionate about.When I finally found one I was so excited to get it done that I rushed it a little.
I don’t know if I mentioned this or not,but I never got to take the picture home in any form,and I did give them 40.00 deposit.(its not much,but its something.)
I apologize for posting here and upsetting anyone.
Hey all,I just wanted you to know that I decided against getting this tattoo because I feel that I would later come to regret it.I mean I have always loved dragons and still think it is a great design but it really doesn’t have any real personal meaning to me.
I have cancelled the appointment for now,if I change my mind later I can always have let them know but for now I think it is best that I wait. Thanks again for all of your help!
Note:I think right now I would really like to get a tattoo in memory of my mother,not sure what to get though cause she was a very practical person and would not want me to get a portrait of her done or anything like that so it will take some time.
In my opinion your 1st one would look good on either of your upper arms.
I have no clue about the other one because I am not really into tribal,although I do have to admit to taking the design for the tattoo I am getting next month from a tribal. What I did was I took a tribal design (of a dragon wrapped around a sword) to my local tattoo shop,and told them not to do it in tribal,but to do it in their own art style.
So if you find a tribal design that you really like you can always have them change it up and make it look good if you want.
Btw I thought your first tattoo meant V8 as in the car/truck engine!lol
They are going to draw it up in color and do the tattoo on the same day cause she will have the pic drawn up already so,I will just tell her of any quick changes she needs to make and then we will start it.
I will definetly post pics that day!!
Ok,I just called the tattoo shop and they had me talk to the artist.She said that she would draw it up in color,and have it ready for me to see on the day of the appointment,and if I needed to make any changes she would make them then.She then asked me what colors I wanted it in,so I told her,and then she told me that it would be no problem.:D
Thank you all for your advice and encouragement,it has helped greatly to resolve a conflict (between me and my dad)and has given me the piece of mind of knowing that I will get a great tattoo!
Sincerely,
Aaron.
Thanks very much for your replies!!I will definetly be calling them up today to have them draw it up in color.I know it’s a pain in the ass for them but,this is going to cost enough,take long enough to do (4 hours) and going to be big enough that I think they can spare a little bit of their time to color a picture in.
I mean,if I had something else done by this artist already I probably wouldn’t bother with this.Going by what I have seen of her work already she is a great artist,has a good eye for color,and of course a very unique style.
I realize now that my Dad was only trying to help.I though he was just trying to stop me from getting it because I am on a tightly run budget,but it appears this is not the case. I talked to him this morning and he said he is not trying to stop me from getting the tattoo,he was just trying to make sure that I had seen the final design in color so that I would not walk away from getting it disappointed,and kicking myself for the rest of my life.
Thank you again for your help,it really is very much appreciated!I will post again later about my talk with the shop.(I am going to call them about 12pm eastern time)
AWESOME site btw!!
