Hello from Minnesota

I just joined this site to learn more about getting my first tattoo ... .

I'm quite confused, I've been reading these forums for a few days, and it seems, If I ask the tattooer what I should get, I'm an idiot because I don't know what I want. but if I print a picture off google images, and say I want that , I'm an idiot because I'm not listening to the proffesional artist, like not listening to your plummer when your toilet breaks ?

What am I missing ? If say I want an eagle on my chest, I should bring a picture of it, but gladley change it to however my tattooer chooses ?

Help ?

Welcome!

Do you really want an eagle on your chest?! That will be awesome.

Do you have an artist picked out yet?

no, I really want a zombie buffalo or bicen ( same thing , depending ) .

I rode my motorcycle through Yellowstone National park , and am just blown away how I can be riding 15 mph down the road, and a huge, 9 foot, 800 pound beast, was just sleeping in the shoulder, right next to me ..

But just a buffalo isn't enough, I also like zombies, and just getting a zombie tattoo feels like jumping on a bandwagon, specially since they just did a " pug crawl" or something, where everyone dresses like a zombie, and it set some world record. ..

So I want a Zombie Buffalo .. but have a hard time finding refereences because I can't find one on google images, maybe nobody has done one before ?

Go Leviticus Tattoo and tell the person at the desk you want a Zombie Buffalo. You will end up with a great tattoo. Afterwards, go the Blue Door pub and have a burger and a couple of beers. Best day ever.

Hello!

A wise person once told me to bring pictures and ideas of things You Do NOT want for your new tattoo. It helps a the artist narrow your thoughts and ideas down.

2nd this. Awesome people to get tattoo by!

Ditch the zombie idea and go for traditional buffalo tattoo. The zombification of everything is getting pretty lame in my opinion. A traditional buffalo will have a more timeless look.
