There's a Jewelry Exchange group on FB now (like the one on IAM) that might be able to help you.

Oh hey, Cere is in that group.
Welu:
Thanks for the anecdotes. I was just wondering.
--- Quote from: lepetitfromage on 20 May 2013, 07:44 ---I've designed most of my tattoos but I like to think of them more as collaborations than "I'll draw this, you just stick it on me". My artist is fantastic- I usually bring him a sketch and ask his opinion on it. We'll chat about the piece, decide what I've done that will work/not work and he'll play around with it before we decide on a final drawing. I've always loved doing collaborative pieces in general, so it's nice to get another (albeit small) taste of that. Plus, constructive criticism is a good thing. I'd love to learn to tattoo one day so I try to go into sponge mode whenever I'm around him.

This is what I've done for the two tattoos I've designed, although they've both been very simple. My first one the artist didn't change anything though because it's that simplistic and they liked the design as it was. The second artist helped me choose colours that would work a bit better on my skintone.
In a way I feel better when an artist is willing to say, "This idea is bad." which has happened with me. Not said in that harsh a way but I appreciate they don't want to just slap it on me when they know it won't look good. It's also nice to know that they have the experience to know it won't look good.
I've got a lot of ideas floating around right now, some designs about 90% but nothing solid. I may have to suck it up and travel the two hours to the place I like just to spend a while hashing out ideas and have some money ready for design work.

I'm new here but very proud of my tattoo - it is based on the bloodstream and to me signifies how everything on earth connects, which brings me comfort. Due to the colour it is fading and will need to be redone, but I have more planned first.
Zingoleb:
is that due to its colour or due to the faux-80s instagram filter
