Thanks for the comments guys! Yah, I want to do some simple design within the body, representing either a BCC or BP pattern...still working on the outline first though.

And yeah, if and when I actually get up enough nerve to actually go INTO a tatt studio, I would hope I could find a good artist to work with me on a design, but I wanted to have something to show them...and I don't think it would be bad to something that I did (but I know I'm not the best freehand artist, hehe).

And YES, happy! I've looked a zillions of pictures of snakes and reptile and dragon tattoos and the majority are MEAN looking. I don't want a mean snake; I coo and baby talk to my snakes. They are sweeties. They aren't mean. And neither will my tatt be. =D
