Not trying to be mean, but why would anyone buy flash from an unknown artist who isn't even a tattoo artist? I wouldn't be too worried about people stealing the designs.
Definitely! And it won't be cheap to get it done well either. Take your time and do lots of research on possible artists. Make sure that they have examples in their portfolios of similar work. Done right it could be outstanding, or done poorly a disaster.
Has someone made you feel bad about your tattoo? They don’t have to like it. It’s a perfectly nice tattoo.
My parents hate my tattoos, but they know they can’t tell me what to do. They just live with them, and we get along fine.
Everyone likes what they like, but true Japanese tattooing probably has had more influence on modern tattooing than anything else... American traditional a close second. Janky kanji is not what it's about.
