I usually think its best to get your tattooer to source great reference material.

Most of us (tattooers) spend a great deal of time/money/effort collecting source material or information for our tattoos.

Some of us even do it away from the internet.

But in the interests of not poo-pah-ing a discussion: Try searching the internet for reference material that ISNT a tattoo. Adding the term 'tattoo' to a google search is like initiating a shit-filter where it only delivers the worst possible images.

Good luck.

definitely agree stewart I found some cool pictures and drawings without the tattoo search. I guess I want to see what is obainable in the tattoo form. Seems tigers/panthers are easier(or make better tattoos) of the cat family. I dont have a tattooer locked in for it I suppose its too much to ask for you to fly to the US and tattoo me for a week or so ;)

Thomas Hooper did one hell of an acanthas (sp?) leaf lion's head on someone's ribs. AWESOME! It's on his blog, hopefully this link takes you to the right image. You'll have to scroll down the page for a bit.

Richard Stell is working in Dallas right now. Send an email. Drive down there. Get tattooed by Richard. Post a photo on this forum. Get lots of compliments. That is about all you need to do.

Stell's also going to be at the Austin Show in a few weeks I believe and West Texas later. Dallas would be closer for you though.

@Lance i saw that months ago and was going to go look for it at his blog thanks for the image hooper always impresses

@Avery Taylor

@Kev I definitely want an eagle from stell Maybe I will give him a shout. I do like his panthers alot moreso than his other cats that I have seen

[Avery Taylor]

If Stell is not working for you how about this guy? Austin is only a little bit further.
