of course it doesnt have to be the same eagle. the only important ting is that it's a mexican eagle with a snake in it's beak. I only chose that one because of the ones i found on the mexican flags on wikipedia that one looked the best, but I expect the artist to do better than that. By the way, do you know of any other Australian symbols other than the southern cross, the commonwealth star, the kangaroo and the emu? I honestly don't think they are cool, and yet I don't want to leave australia out of the tattoo. cheers EDIT: I'd never consider getting the flag of any country done because they are prone to change in a single lifetime. and especially the Australian flag is in my opinion bound to change soon, so then the flag might no longer represent the nation, but instead the governments in the era of the flag. for example if the current flag changes it will obviously loose the Jack, so anyone with the old flag tattooed would be suspected of being a loyalist of the british crown, which I've heard doesn't go down well with most Australians :)

I don't know about months but i'll give it a few weeks of lurking on the forum. I might be doing it wrong but I don't feel as if the information is easily available. i'll keep at it for now though. thanks for the advice. cheers

Well, to be blatant I really don't feel like going to far out of my way for nothing. I'm sure that the artists here in croatia cannot really compare to those in other European countries. I may not know about tattoos but I can spot when something is well drawn. I think the links I posted of reccomended artists here do a pretty good job at precise and bold lines. All of this brings me to say that I see nothing wrong in going to see some local artist. This however doesn't change the fact that if I get a generous suggestion here which seems to be on another level to the ones we have in croatia I will be ready to travel. So if someone would find the time to give me good suggestions that'd be great. As for the tattoo specifically I think I've already decided to scrap the sketches i've made in paint. Hopefully the artist will be more creative than me :)

wow I keep offending tattoo lovers wherever i stick my nose! :S I'll check the threads you mentioned out. sorry I guess You know what? in order to avoid further looking like an ignorant imbecile i'll go ahead and look at the different styles so I at least know the names. be right back EDIT: ok i'm sure i'll still look bad because there must be a smaller grouping but the only name i found is "Black & Gray"

thanks a lot for the suggestion. I've taken a look and even though it looks good, his tats all seem to be in the same style, a style i don't really care for. And besides that while he does look good he doesn't look better than Mario from Tattoo Cimmeria I hope i'm not being too much of a bother, but could you please give me some more suggestions? thanks!

I have enough cash to travel, just don't know of any other shops. maybe someone here can give me a few reccomendations? i was hoping to make it a medium size tattoo across the left peck.

trouble is, I live in croatia. so far I've been given the following recomendations: Gandalf Tattoo - Marin's gallery // 1 Galerije slika: tetoviranje, piercing, konvencije - Zagreb Tattoo & Piercing by Zele & Crew Galerije slika: tetoviranje, piercing, konvencije - Zagreb Tattoo & Piercing by Zele & Crew and this one though for this one I'd have to travel away from my city: Tattoo Cimmeria They all seem equally skilled, what do you think? are they good?

Hmm ok thanks! Like I said this is just a sketch which I had composed in paint heh, and the eagle i put was from the Wikipedia flag of mexico in the 19th century. the eagle itself looked pretty bad so i thought it looked better if i blackend it out, but perhaps the artist can make a better looking one. thanks

Hi everyone my name is Matias. I live in Croatia but I have three nationalities, which is why I'm getting tattooed in the first place. See, I'd like to get a tattoo which combines the Symbols of Croatia, Australia and Mexico. I have made a sketch in paint of what I think I'd like but as it's such an important subject I went to my friends for opinions before making a decision. Obviously they had mixed opinions but none offered any ideas. So I though I'd have nothing to lose coming here for some advice. Anyway to avoid boring you with text here is my sketch and please post your opinion on it regardless of wether it be positive or negative, and if you have any ideas on how to improve it, I'd love to hear the suggestions. Thanks in advance! EDIT: I've also made a simpler version
