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.
