Welcome to the forum. Here's my advice: Stop thinking about the design itself. To a competent artist, that would be their job. The part you need to worry about is finding someone competent of making the design. We can't tell from the above what your level of experience is, but while you can bring reference material in to assist in the design process - you don't want to bring a finished design in to just any old tattooist and expect a great tattoo. Educating yourself on how to recognize a good artist/tattooist is going to be the trick.

Just an old man grousing, but I get tired of people saying they are allergic to ink every time it itches. I did a lot of research on ink allergies before I had my first tattoo. The number of actual verified cases of an allergic reaction to tattoo ink is very, very small.

Bah, healing tattoos fckin sucks.. I had almost forgot the hassle the first couple weeks 😂 Oh well, earn your ink!

Yup. I'm not an old man, but I feel the same. 🙂 NOPE NOPE NOPE.

that's easy, skip a couple days of workouts.

Got this sexy wolf done on friday by Line Marielle in Denmark! It's a continuation to my existing work from her on my forearm, so now Im the proud owner of a halfsleeve 😁 Will end up with a full sleeve eventually, I bet! Theres also another raven, a Valknut symbol and a verse from Håvamål in old norse, so all of the new stuff isnt visible here. Maybe Ill upload another pic later. Im so stoked, cant wait for it to heal.

Headed to London next week for the first time in a decade: Stoked!

yesterday was our 11th wedding anniversary, we went to see Ziggy Marley at a small venue here in Sacramento last night, it was an amazing show.

Long sleeve shirts, even rolled up to the elbow will cover it. Not a big deal. Full sleeve is more of a big deal because even though a long sleeve shirt will cover it most of the time, every time you reach for something, the shirt rides up and your wrists are visible.

My retirement project "the Hunley" runs! Not finished yet, but getting so close!

We've slowly, but surely been having plumbing, namely drainage problems. Today it finally became a problem that couldn't be ignored. Fortunately we called an honest plumber that instead of coming out and charging a few hundred bucks to tell us he couldn't do anything, he listened to the details and told us we probably needed our septic tank emptied. We called the local company that handles that type of thing and they had a truck here in about 30 minutes. Within a little over an hour he had found the tank, dug thru the frozen ground and pumped 30 years of... well you know. What we were afraid was going to be a costly expense was only $295... good shit!
