i agree with you about a tattoo being matched to a particular part of the body, but not the bit about the tattoo artist. as tattoos have become a bit more main stream and a bit more of an accepted artform there is a lot of competition and a lot of talent out there. so if the artist isn't prepared to offer you advice on what to have (based on your own ideas) and where to have it then you should go and look for another one. good tattoos aren't cheap and its all too easy to get it wrong. the best advice i can give anyone about tattoos is to be patient. find the right artist, the right design and the right place - it'll be with you for the rest of your life so don't cut corners.

That's true, Andy. Not all are like that, but I based my comment on what I've heard and seen from local tattooists. They are to be honest, a bit sh*te and basically just set out to make as much as possible for doing as little as possible. The really talented tattoists are harder to find, but do the job right, but they cost. The fella I'm handing over a design to earns over 100 quid an hour.

Emerald that 2nd one looks really nice. Im going to get it on my calf so that rules out the 1st pic as it's too wide. But the 2nd one looks like it could fill out that area well. Only thing is maybe id get the stars done as a line under the YNWA, not that they don't look good there but when we win another then I can just get a star added next to it ect...

Or you could have a small star just under the beak of the bird to complete the circle.

The first image is just a concept sketch, mate. It's meant to go with something else. Thing is, the head of the bird was also a concept sketch that I posted up on RAWK a while ago. Didn't take long for someone to grab it and plaster it all over mobile phone websites and other wallpaper based sites. It was even made into fridge magnets and light switch stickers, and I was even informed that JL airport in Liverpool were selling it as a keychain. My mistake for posting something without a copywrite.

Yeah remember you saying about seeing that stuff in an airport. I think I saw someone in town once selling the big one they made the banner of, on some cardboard canvas'... can't remember if I sent you the guys details, was a while back. Anyway sent you a pm.
