I think that you should not just choose a random tattooist, do some research on the innernet and find one whose work you really, really admire. If necessary be prepared to travel. I know you only want a simple thing now, but it can still go wrong and you could also end up wanting more. Better to find a good tattooist and stick with them.
I have just been looking at the work of Jo at Modern Body Art in Birmingham. I met a girl with lovely fruit and ravens which Jo did and it is amazing. I think she only takes on custom designs. If I were you I would find a tattooist who does do some custom designs, because then you know they're in it for the art of it and not just to make money by whacking out little red hearts on girls bottoms. Not that there's anything wrong with having hearts on your bottom if that's your groove, I expect that the tattooists who do them get pretty good at them...
I think you should lose weight before you get your tattoo, because although your shoulder doesn't change much it's best to have the tattoo done on a bit of your body that you plan will remain the same shape.
About price, lots of tattooists have a minimum charge. Maybe around twenty quid? |
