Got Ink? **DU WARNING**

hey all.....

I want to get a small snake tat. I've never gotten a tat before soooo should I have someone draw up one for me and then ask a tat artist to put it on me, or should I go to a tat artist and have he/she draw up one for me?

If you go to a tattoist,bring plenty of reference pics. head shots and anything you can get you hands on. :peace:

Heres a Pastel Jungle Ball Python thats on my arm. :) http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...g?t=1165799222

i find it's best to find what you want and then allow the artist to add their own "flare" to it... making it very unique!

;)

look at thier portfolios when you get there as some may be better at doing snakes and animals then others, when i got my forearm tatted i went there with what i wanted and let him do the layout and positioning of it. and left the shadeing to him also. the color i was dead set on. i got a rosay wrapped around a prayer. if you have some thing that your dead set on let them know so they can make it flow and look good, cause some time our good ideas just don't look good. plus it helps being a brother in law of a tat artist.i'll get a pic up here soon.

Man, I love this thread... you guys all have such gorgeous work done! :love:

I can't wait to get my second tattoo, we're just waiting till all this holiday broke-ness is over. I'm actually quite glad since I ended up redesigning it a bit. Hopefully I'll be able to get my Medusa's Owl tat retouched a bit too.

that looks so awesome....if i was going to get a tatoo it would definitely be a BP

I just got my second tat, and I couldn't be more pleased! If anybody in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area is looking to get a tattoo, I could not recommend www.divinitytattoo.com more! In fact, before we move, I plan to have them redo my Medusa's Owl tat for me and possibly get a third design too. Karen is so impressed with them, that my needle-phobic woman is actually considering getting one herself now! That's how awesome Divinity is.

We decided that the little detailed pattern on the Oroborus snake wouldn't stand the test of time so went with something a bit more solid, but it's still a blue beauty to me. ;) Pics don't do it justice.
