JDawn, another cool thing about that site is that you can also sign up to be a designer. You can submit your own work for sale in the marketplace & for other people’s contests (some have REALLY big winnings).

Pffttt… darn kids and yer tattoos :lol:

Jess, have you checked out http://www.createmytattoo.com/? Maybe you can find an artist on there who has a style close to what you’re looking for. If you find someone, you can always start a contest and invite them to draw something for you. There’s about 2000 registered “designers”, but I’m not saying…[Read more]

Not really contributing to the topic itself, but I just wanted to say that I am wallowing in this conversation like a pig in mud :D So many helpful comments, suggestions, websites, and most importantly attitudes! It’s nice to know I’m not the only one in this boat. Y’all are great ;)

Nice work!

Beautiful! Simply love it :mrgreen:

Thank you for the feedback guys. I’m afraid my scanner didn’t do them justice. Looking back, however, there are a lot of things I feel need some work (as always :D ).
