Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law,
As a practicing magickian who works as a tattoo artist, I thought I should throw in my two cents. My entire chest and stomach are tattooed with magickal imagery, which I started in 1999 of the common era. As my studies have progressed I have found myself increasing dissatisfied with the images, and have realized that I will have to go through the entire thing to correct the "mistakes". I guess the moral of the story is this: do your research very carefully, give it a few years, then research some more. Another consideration is this: if you have a non-magickal artist do the work, the finished design might have some minor flaws. A good example is the Satanic pentagram, which has Hebrew letters at each point. The Hebrew on the front of the Satanic bible already has some stylization to it, and I've seen tattoo artist try to reproduce this image in the skin. The artist in question did not know Hebrew, and in the final design the letters were even less recognizable than on the book. All of which just goes to show that such a venture is extremely vulnerable to vulgar human error.
I hope this advice proves useful to you.
Love is the law, love under Will.
