No need to be sorry and I know it probably doesn't make sense LOL I have 2 tattoos and I'm over 40 years old. I just got one last week and the other one I got 23 years ago, so my knowledge is very limited. So far I've been able to get away with just walking in with a picture and saying "put this one here" The guy I used for the latest one is very good, but his patience seems limited and I didn't walk away with the feeling that he wants to sit around and help somebody like me design something pretty involved. I might need to find somebody else. I live in the Dallas area so I'm sure there are a few.

I am fairly new to tattoos in general and am very new to trying to design one myself. First thing, I have zero artistic ability, I probably couldn't draw a straight line with a ruler! I have an idea what I want to have added to one of the few tattoos I do have, but I don't know how to adequately describe it to an tattoo artist, which will lead to them becoming frustrated and charging extra or me getting something I REALLY didn't want...forever. I assume I can always hire somebody to do it for me, but I also would like to avoid spending several hundred dollars designing the things too.
