I'm getting a tattoo, which will be a stylized Yin Yang. Instead of the black and white swirlies though, I'm getting it with a dragon and tiger coiled around each other. I'm planning on putting it on my shoulder.
My problem is, I'm not familiar with tattoo artists in Atlanta. I don't have a pre-made image -- I want the artist to create it him-/her-self. So not only do I want a good artist, I want one that really likes doing that sort of thing. Someone who will get as much enjoyment from creating the art as I will get from wearing it, as it were.
So, does anyone know a local artist that likes doing Asian-inspired things like that? I'm open to variations on the theme too, like perhaps the image being done with a tribal flair to it.

Liberity Tattoo on Ponce de Leon or 13 Roses Tattoo in East Atlanta Village. They have a few artists that I really like but lack the money to get anything done.
These shops are extremely clean and have professional artist who really enjoy doing custom art. Once you see a artist that you like call the shop and ask if you can set up a consult with that artist. Then meet with them and discuss your piece.
Let me know how it goes........
