I actually do plan to get quality professional tattoos done when I can afford it. I have a back piece planned out. It's going to combine a number of things related to my interests and images that I find aesthetically pleasing. I have it all sketched out. It doesn't look cluttered at all. It looks like a scene in which all the elements are meant to me there.
Basically, it's a cemetery at night, an imaginary cemetery in which all my favorite dead musicians are buried. In the center of the cemetery is a gnarled, twisted old dead tree. A guitar resembling my acoustic guitar is leaning against the tree. There might be a cowboy hat hanging from a stubby branch, and there might be an owl or other nocturnal bird perched in the tree. Above the cemetery will be a full moon and lots of bats flying around. There might also be a snake or two slithering between the graves. The graves are kind of crumbling and bent at odd angles so there won't be an issue of straight lines versus the human body. And there might be some kind of mysterious element like a hand raising a lantern up from behind one of the graves. I guess it sounds complicated, but I can easily fit it on an 8x11 piece of paper, or smaller.
I also want to get a detailed color pro tattoo of my legless lizard, probably on my arm. I have ideas for full sleeves, but they keep changing, so I'm going to get the back piece and the lizard and go from there.

This sounds like a pretty good concept EvilKimEvil it should look very nice.

Thanks! I think I'll be able to find the right artist for it here in the Bay Area. I bet there are lots of good tattoo artists here, with different specialties.
