    sorry, its probably an annoying thread, but im just not sure how to go about designing a tattoo... im no artist, and though i have a vague idea in my head as to what id like, i have no idea about how to go about getting that idea on to paper, and modified to suit what *i* want tattood on me... also, things like colours... and advice on that...

    would i be best going to a tattooist? finding a (patient) arty friend and getting them to try draw what im thinking? trying to draw it myself and hope the tattooist can translate what im trying to draw into a coherent design?

    only my second tattoo, and though my first one was also a design i particularly liked, it was a very, very simple one, which id been doodling for about 7 years before i got it, so this is all a bit new to me.

    Well. I had a similar problem with my side piece.
    I currently have two desings and a friend working on a 3rd. I'm hoping my tattoo artist can combine the three to give me the design I want.

    Basically you'll need a bit of everything. I know a guy who's apprenticing as a tattoo artist at the mo. And he's really really awesome at designing up stuff. I can put you in contact with him if you'd like?

    that would be cool... although... im stone facking broke at the mo:( i cant afford to pay people for stuff... and also intend getting the tat done in november, while im abroad, as it's of high personal significance to me.
