I've been tattooed, but when I went in, I knew what i wanted and who I wanted to do the work.
We've moved and now my wife is interested. She has an idea of what she wants, but no sketches and is still in "undecided" mode. If I had a completed design to show her, i think she's be more into it. Is it inappropriate to go to a shop without committing to an artist to ask someone to come up with a design?
