    Hey all,

    I'm in my final year of a Degree in Photography. I'm making an installation for the final piece which will then be in an exhibition. It will be a composite of different people's tattoos. The thing is I need girls with thigh tattoos!!! I just can't find any, I'm going to a tattoo convention soon so hopefully I'll find some there but thought I should look everywhere. So anyone here have thigh tattoos? Or know how I can go about finding some? I've searched the internet but can't find anyone. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

    Thanks for reading,
    Peggypeg.

    Peggypeg, do you have a tattoo yourself?
    Maybe you should consider getting one. Suffer for your own art type thing. In my experience a lot of women tend to get their tattoos in more intimate areas than men so I'd say getting them to put them on show for photo's might prove a challenge.
    Good luck with it.

    Another thing you could do is ring around the tattoo parlours and ask them if anyone has booked to have some work done. you could do a deal with the parlour and the client by offering them copies of your work for free.

    Hey Guys,

    Thanks for all the replies. I've posted messages in the piercings and tattoo forums and had loads of luck there. I'm also going to a tattoo convention in a couple weeks that I found on Facebook. And yeah I'm giving everyone I shoot copies of the image for their own use. And I do have a tattoo (soon to be two) that I'll be photographing for this project:D. I'm sure I'll have plenty to choose from when I'm making the final cut but you know what it's like, might as well shoot as many as possible before editing. Thanks for all the replies, and if you suddenly remember your friend with a bizillion tattoos send them my way :D

    Thanks again,
    Peggypeg

    I have a tattoo on my lower back. My uncle and cousins are tattooists too, theres a girl that works with them that is covered in tattoos so would most likely have one on her thigh. Have you gone into any of the parlours? They are in dragon tattoo across from the Irish life Mall.
