ive already looked into solid state. the artists there are phenomenal. no questions asked. ill definitely have work done there in the future. probably a homeward bound ship

^ thats what ive been telling everyone. i love american traditional. im not a sailor and i have no interest in becoming one. but i love the style and era of tattooing. to answer your question im having it done by josh at cutthroat tattoo in milwauke WI. you can see his work on instagram @theonetrickpony

interesting take. i saw in in an exhibit at an art museum, it was all dietzels flash art. ive already taken the drawing to a shop and to an artist that does a lot of traditional. id be fine getting dietzels design as is but i feel a personal touch will give a connection. - - - Updated - - -

well its a tattoo done by amund dietzel ,legendary artist. his was originally the wheel on top of the anchor. but i wanted to make it a little more my own. just wondering if i should keep or get rid of any parts? and placement of it. it originally had a rope intertwining but i nixed that. really like the globe so i dont want to get rid of that.

hi all this is my introduction thread. im a huge enthusiast in tattoos and i love american traditional style hence the name. im going to school to major in art education but i all types of art. the reason i titled this thread trad. flash help is because i drew an american traditional design and would like some input on it. i had planned to get it on my left leg but placement is still up in the air and i dont know if i should keep all of the elements. i also want to get a homeward bound ship on the same leg in the future so i need to plan around that. constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance guys
