I got some fresh ink. Let's see if I can get a picture in here.



Yep, there she is, a tiger lily. It is a good start, but I want some more gradation in the petals, and to add some purple and magenta to the pistols/stamin (sp?).

God, I want about fifty more, at least. 'Cause I'm white fucking trash, and I love it.

About that, I need to find a really good tattoo artist in central or northern Michigan. Who should I go see? I've heard there is a woman in Cheboygan who is decent. Shawn at Skin Canvis is good, but I'm not sure about his pricing. Someone tell me what's up, where I should go? I want my next one to be my angel (HUGE, black and white, lots of shading, and detail in the wings, I want to put some dates in the wings. Perhaps leave the feathers empty, and fill in the numbers in those.) or Hanuman ripping his chest open to expose Rama and Sita (good sized, below my colar bone, above the chest in the center, in color, tons of shading and detail throughout). I don't want to start these ones out fucked up and have to go find someone to try to fix them, because they both mean a lot to me.

I have issues with trust and I don't comunicate very well what I want done. I'm used to Jim at Island Ave. He's amazing, I can bring in the worst sketch, on a scrap of paper, and he fixes it up perfect. Plus, he does amazing work. If only he wasn't a ten hour drive away and so damn expensive. His work is worth every penny though. I adore the work he did on me.

So, someone, anyone, help me out here, please please please.

*EDIT*


Oh man, I just tried to add Les to my favorite SGs, but I can't, because she's "no longer active on the site". Sad, sad girl right here, Les is awesome.
