Definitely not a scratcher. I'll definitely get my research done and get my elements together and I'll just go from there! Thanks!

I would never micromanage that's for sure. All I meant was if I said hey I want this face, but I want the beard to incorporate in to a different tattoo which then goes in to a different one and so on and so on they wouldn't mind? or is that also being too picky?

That's pretty much what I'm looking for. I feel like spending weeks trying to figure out my exact design would piss the artist off? No? Do they not mind making sure every detail is exactly what I want? What kind of lenience do they have?

Would definitely like to see some pictures!

When you see tattoo art hanging in parlors, what medium is that? Oil paint on parchment?

Harry878 just suggested two amazing artists for me. If you explain a bit of what you want I'm sure he'll have an idea!

I will! :) I'm in no rush. I'd like to save up money for it. I'd like to not worry about the finances of the tattoo so I'm just saving until I know I've covered the cost at least 3 times. Another question. When you see tattoo art hanging in parlors, what medium is that? Oil paint on parchment? Water color? I'd love to know.

Wow incredible. James Spencer Briggs does have an amazing portfolio. I actually almost jumped in my car and drove out there haha. But DAMNNNNNN Kore has a few pieces that are fucking brilliant! I love how dabbles in the color for those black and white pieces. I'm clearly not ready for this tattoo because adding some color in with the ocean might be awesome! AHHH I don't know what to do. Thank you for sharing those two artists with me. Beyond brilliant.

That's why I said they should have to have permission from the original artist. no?

AHHH I see! well I want a Greek god themed sleeve. All greys. I'm looking for someone who is really good with shading and creativity. The sleeve I want isn't mapped out in my head at all. I have the gist of it but that's about it. I basically want to have 50 different tattoos inside the one blended. HA it's hard to explain!!! Does anyone know of a great greek god artist?

Thanks! Can't wait to see it! I wish you all the best of luck!

I got my first tattoos the second I turned 18. I thought for sure that's what I wanted. Now, almost 4 years later, I wish I still had the spot on my back for a different tattoo that I've wanted for 2 years! I'd wait until you're 100% for sure. I agree Killercrook76

I think it would only be fine if 1. The customer had approval from the original artist 2. The two artists spoke and everything was fine. Some people love the same designs and if that's what they want then why not let them have it? BUUUUUUUT on the other hand...why don't they just have the original person do it? WTF?

I'm also looking for someone to help with a sleeve! A full one though! ;) Let me know if you find an awesome artist!

Yea that's where I was looking. I figured it would be. Thanks

Very true! Thanks for letting me know. I still have to figure out how to properly use forums but what's a good example of where and how to post in the correct place? I've been reading a ton of the threads and they all seem very specific about things people have already thought about forever! haha so I'm just curious if it would be in the general forum etc.

Thanks guys! Yes I'll post pictures as soon as I can. I've been checking all the threads and some of the art is amazing! As for advice? I'm definitely looking for a specific piece. I haven't been able to find a tattoo artist who can do what I want unless I want to pay $100,000+! Ha which I don't have. Apparently I have to wait to post more things but no worries I'm taking my time regardless! Yes, Timbur, everyone is super friendly so far which is great because there are too many people out there that dislike everything about tattoos...good feeling seeing everyone with their art!

Post pics of the half sleeve! I'd like to see it, I was thinking about getting my left sleeve done with a poseidon theme.

Hello everyone, I'm Justin, I'm 21 recently moved to L.A. I have 5 tattoos, two matching scorpions on my back ( I was 18 found out I was a scorpio and jumped on the scorpio train ) two stars I got when I was drunk, regret them and a tulip on my arm that I drew out. I'm a bit older now and I've been thinking about getting more tattoos and really wanted to do my do-diligence before I just jumped back in to it! Anyway, can't wait to check out all the awesome threads on LST! -Justin
