See, the thing with having people draw something up for me is that they want to charge out the wazoo just for the drawing. I live in an area where tattoos aren't very common so the few parlors that are out here know they can charge an arm and a leg even for mediocre work. They have separate fees for the drawing, a consultation, the work itself, etc. And it's not cheap.

Since I can draw fairly well, I prefer to have my design ready to go when I get in there. If they need to make minor adjustments, that's fine, but they can't charge me for them.

It's one thing to pay good money for a GOOD artist. It's another to put up with highway robbery from little boys with a needle.
