rolf

Thanks all, I appreciate your feedback. I can't lie, I'm hoping my design is good enough to go as is, but I have no problem if it doesnt work. I tried for a little while to get into tattooing, but as it is now, a few of the shops I visited assumed that I got the idea from watching tattoo reality shows, and that I probably didn't care about tattooing as an artform. Theyre really hard core no doubt. I dont even watch TV lol. But it would be nice to know that I'd at least have a bit of a clue on how my tattoo should translate to flesh, but again, if I'm wrong, it'll be a learning experience for me. BrianH, thanks. I'm familiar with Allston and will check out Good Faith.

It would trouble me personally if someone lifted an original design from me. Especially if someone profited from it and didn't ask. As an artist, I'm challenged with the possibility every time I post my work online. But as I need to collect a portfolio for business and personal reasons, i really have no other choice... it'd not be like they were stealing from the rich either. However, it also makes me feel full of pretense.

I'm Rolf. I got my first tat when I was 18 but only have two as of now. I'm planning on getting more, but in a traditional style. Since I love illustration, I've decided to design my next tattoo. I was slightly disappointed with the last one I got, so I'd also like to find a good artist with a good attitude, preferably someone local -I live thirty minutes from Boston. Anyway I'm really thankful to be able to socialize with all of you and to share and pick up as much information as I can. Thanks!
