    I think girls can pull off tattoo's no problem. Drawing it yourself though, that's a common mistake in my opinion. Just because you like what you've done on paper, does not make it a good tattoo. You should seek out a tattoo artist who's work you like, and have them draw it. They know what works. They know what will last.

    • It's like people coming to designers and giving them the logo they want to use, but have us just trace it again. You must put trust in the art.brains
    • put trust in the art.brains
    • and the artist.brains
    • but if its living on me... i trust myselfmegE
    • true, but I've taken that route as well, I regretted it a bunch after 4 years, got it covered up.brains
    • It's like hanging up your own art on your bedroom walls, after a while it just seems ridiculous.brains
    • lol what about me taking what i want in and telling them to do with it what they wantmegE
    • That works too! They will turn it into a tattoo! After all, it's what they do for a living!brains
    • For them, when someone comes in with something for them to trace, it's like a client coming to us with a logo done in pencil that they want us to vectorize in illustrator.brains
    • and sketched, and they just want us to put it into illustrator because they don't understand the tools.brains
    • And we balk at the fact that they have no idea what they are doing.brains
