Why, no. I can't make a decision without consulting you. I mean, I don't think I can. What do you think?
ANYWAY, I have essentially a gift certificate for tattooing, which I acquired through my job. (I know. My job, it is fucking weird sometimes.) My tattooed brothers and sisters, if you could choose from among these artists, who would you pick? I'm leaning toward the last guy but I realize that this preference is entirely because of his "pick me, [eye] dra gud!" note. It gave me lulz.
Anyway, based on the actual artwork in their portfolio, what do you all think? My artwork is very sharp illustration-style linework, in two or three colors, and I'll be supplying the art, so what I'm looking for basically in the artist is sharp linework and attention to detail.
(And in case you're curious, I have decided what to get, at long last. I'm going to totally steal this idea that apparently a ton of other people had, and I'm going to design another of a different animal in the same style to accompany it. I'm thinking I might get them on my legs -- one on the outside of each leg, above the knee -- but I haven't really decided yet.)
In other news, Mal and I talked last night about what her next tattoo shall be. She knows where she wants it and sort of what she wants, but I can't think of anything that would be right. (Also, I'm beginning to think that her desire for tattoos in places that will OMG hurt like a bitch is kind of pathological.) We have resolved that I will use her for my guinea pig, because I've been wanting to try working in henna and there's only so much doodling one can do on one's own left hand.
My supervisor has hinted that I should go down and get this done after we finish the publication we're currently working on getting to the printer. I have taken this to mean that I won't be getting another chance for a weekend away after that. Son of a bitch.
