ok look at it from this perspective.
a graphic designer wants a new logo.
they are more than capable of designing it themselves.
do they
a) make it themselves
b) make another designer do it.im guessing most would design it themselves right?
but you cant tattoo yourself, not without a lot of practice, as its not your trade. you may be skilled at making the graphic, but not at applying it.
so there is the difference. yes, a tattoo artist are usually skilled drawers or illustrators, but their styles will invariably differ from what it is you have in mind.
so if you are confident in your abilities as an artist, why not make it yourself.
unless of course you want a piece by XYZ tattoo artist.. in which case, this point is mute.
it is a service in the end.
