Tattoo, Tattoo!

You never know when you’ll need an artist. Myself included.  I was asked to design a tattoo - my first tattoo commission.  As an observer of many a wack tattoo, I was honored to create a permanent work.  Coincidentally, I love the TLC show, LA Ink.  The shop owner is young. hip, talented, and loves Beethoven.  Best of all, viewers see the artistic process from beginning to end.  People come in with a sketch, the tattoo artist tweaks it, and the inking starts.  Or people come in sans sketch and tell the tattoo artist their idea.  The artist puts the idea on paper, transfers it to their skin, and the inking begins.
