Tattoo Appointment!!!

I'm so jazzed right now; it's gonna be a long wait until next month!

Took a folder with my sketch and some references over to the tattoo shop. Had a nice chat and got things planned out with Greg Ross, who is going to be my tattoo artist. He is a cool guy and a good artist; check out his portfolio at http://www.thebluerosetattoo.com/tattoos.html ! He also quoted a very reasonable price ($240), so for once I'll actually be able to afford what I want. We're going to go somewhere between realistic and traditional tattoo style, with rich vivid colors. Also enjoyed talking with the girl working the counter; she really liked my tattoo design--especially since she is in nursing school right now.

My options for body placement (considering the ink I already have and needing a fairly large flat space) are either upper left back (shoulder blade area) or outer left thigh. I already have other work on my lower center back and right upper shoulder, nothing on my left leg. Opinions?

I think the good thing about the outer left thigh is that if you want to *look* at your tattoo it'll be easy to do so. But if you get it on your back, you'll be seeing it in reverse in a mirror.

That's awesome.
