hahaha and thats the opposite of what I want and why I have turned for help! That would awesome if people would be willing to help and give advice too see if it would be a good match! Thank you @SStu!!!

okay yeah thats a great idea!! Thank you!

okay! great thank you for the response @Dan!! I was just worrying that the idea itself was silly and I should take the tattooers advice, but good to hear that maybe I should just reach out to someone who would be a bit more excited about it

Hi guys! Im looking to get my tattoo pretty soon I had a piece drawn up from a friend and I like it but when I brought it to the artist he kind of shot the idea down before really looking at the piece, he wants me to rethink the piece so now I just need advice on what other artists think. The piece my friend has drawn is not final and I want the artist to add some of their own touch/ realism to it but I really like the basic meaning of it being more of family tree tattoo with my last name in the roots now my last name does mean tree in German and I get that, that is redundant but I don't know where to go, do I start from scratch? is the piece that bad? or should I get a more open minded artist? Im really set on wanting my last name in the piece (doesn't have to be apart of the tree) as well as it being a tree with roots! (love the roots) Anyway any advice on the piece or what I should do would be much appreciated!! Thank you
