Sorry it's taken me so long to get back here.
My question is just is it cool to go into a tattoo shop and ask for an original piece of art? I feel like a lot of the people I know who get tattoos do so for symbolic reasons, or to remind them of some sort of important event in their life, but I'm just not really into that. I'd much rather just have a beautiful work of original art than something that symbolizes something else.
