I already have nine and now... My artist has already done four of mine. I love him because he is not only honest but SO proud of what he does. To him, it's artwork, a masterpiece in each design. I also like him because he's very approachable and down to earth/laid back AND I can trust him.
I went in today to tell him my story of the fire cats to see what he would envision for my next tattoo...because I have no artistic vision whatsoever and I told him that this tattoo is absolutely important to me because of what it represents...and we decided on TWO matching tattoos, one on each upper leg. He came up with the idea of portraits of my each cat in a Victorian frame, and it was far better than I had in mind and I immediately liked the idea. So now, I'm cruising around the internet browsing for things I would like to incorporate in my design. That's about all the artistic vision I have, piecing together a design to present it to the artist so he and I can create something unique to me. And he will be using photos of Evy and Salem to create the portraits. It's gonna be so cool!
I'm so excited! I'm not telling any of my friends until it's done...I just want them to be surprised. But I HAVE to tell SOMEBODY!!! So I'll do it anonymously
