Yali, I'm pretty sure you can download elvish fonts.

After a quick Googlesearch:

Since we're showing off kinda here

It's not a very clear picture, but it's a picture none the less.

DO YOU KNOW how hard it is when no one will take a picture of it for you!?

Hrph.

I've got the raven tattoo on my left shoulder. I'm getting a Morrigan with banding around my right calf this summer.

And USDA prime will one day go on my right ass cheek.

[quote="Minako-chan";p="30112"]heh heh...get ready for the details.

This is what I have in mind. Two dragons (perferably Jap but does not need to be) gold and white intertwined at the tails and facing each other. In the background kinda like, behind them but still visable a green dragon, a blue dragon, a black dragon and a red dragon. Heh...this is most definately the most detail I can give without questions being asked.

Be ready to pay lots of money for all that color.... that and be ready to sit for about 5 sessions of 4 hours each. To have all that design and not make it look muddy you will need to have a large design. All most like a back piece. Gold doesn't exist as an ink.... so it will be yellow.

I have a dragon tattoo on my back that has to be finished. It will come out really nice. I used the sketchbook that Boris Vallejo and Judy bell came out with. I bought it cause it had some awesome sketches of dragons. You might want to go with a good artist you know trace the dragon and modify it to your liking.
For a tattoo or the art you do not need the artists approval because it’s for personal
But for a large piece you definately need to resaerch your tattooer, set a date and bounce ideas. the tattooer will also tell you what is doable. If its a beautiful piece, you can get it for free or a discount if you promise to show up for shows. This is all things you can disscuss with the tattooer. But talking and discussing with the tattoo artis is really important.

thnx for the tip katie...
I think to research your tattooer is important whatever tattoo you're going to get..
I mean.. you've got to make sure the person is good in the kind of tattoo you want..
or just makes groovey tattoos...

I'm going to visit a few shops today...
ask them if they can do what I want.. and what it's going to cost.. search through their photo books...

and then maybe make an appointment....

so.. loads of research before getting a tattoo is REALLY a good idea...

I hang out with a guy who has a split tongue, and he also hangs for hooks. Other then that, he's a really cool guy... He has videos and pictures of them splitting his tongue, they bleed all over the place.

Some people split them for the two tongue thing, but he tells me it's harder to do anything, and makes *other* things near impossible to do with his gal.

went to see 3 tattoo shops today
1 of them was really helpful.. and interested in the design.. he went like: kewl.. that's japanese drawing style isn't it?

gave me loads of usefull tips.. that the image needed to be larger.. and that I should stick to that.. cuz it would look smudgy if it was too small...

so.. this guy is high in my ranking

gonna see another guy tonight...

average price up till now: 100 euro's... (dollars :p)
