Where to get help with a tattoo idea? (lemmy.world)

I have an idea for a tattoo I'd like to get for my cat when she goes to the rainbow bridge but I'm not sure how to best execute it. I have two tattoos but both of them are simple symbols so this is one is going to be more involved. I would just like to have the idea more formulated before finding the right artist.

I agree. And to add to this, you can usually find portfolios of an artist's work through their shop website and/or instagram page.

I spent about 4 hours looking up shops and their artist's portfolios before finding a style I thought best fits me.

Personally, I like to give a concept, idea, or a few elements for my artist to work with. She in return will tell me her perspective or understanding of what I said along with additional suggestions. She's been great so far so I haven't really had to ask for changes in her designs but the option is always there. Your skin, your body so the final design choice will be up to you.

I've also tried looking up tattoos using search engine and websites for generating ideas but it seems these days there are an over abundance of pictures, it gets overwhelming. I find it easier talking directly with the artists.
