im after a tattoo of dragonflies and have found one but i cant download the image,was wondering if there are any good sites you can reccommend?i need an image thats just black/white,sort of more feminine and simple...

I found this one on a temp tatt site. I like the image though and you could get an artist to work with you to create 2 of a similar style but with different perspectives.

I suggest definintely searching google images for one that is similar to what you're looking for and then get the tattoo artist to recreate it and change it up to your own preferences.

istockphoto.com has a of stuff in their illustration category. If you find something you like, you can download it for pretty cheap.

Start prowling bookstores too. Look at tattoo books and magazines, art books, particularly Asian Art.

Failing all that, go to a tattoo shop and tell them what you want and where you want it. Chances are, they will either have some flash or a picture in a book of what you want. Or they can draw it up for you. A good artist will take into account things like your skin tone and how your body flows in the area you want the tattoo. A good tattoo in the wrong place still looks like hell.

I've been under the needle somewhere around 15 times in 4 different states and I've never seen an artist that wouldn't draw the design on you first so you can see how it'll look before things get permanent.

My wife and I are planning a big piece for my left thigh. A tiger with a dragon and three monkeys in a particular Asian style. The animals are based on our signs in the Chinese Zodiac. My wife is a tiger, our son is a dragon. My son from my first marriage, my daughter and I are all monkeys. The tiger will be the center of the piece and will have one of the monkeys caught by the tail (that'd be me).

Is SGTiger your wife? You know, DH's are invited on Seattle TE rides. You wouldn't be the only man there!

Sorry for the drift, Hellosunshine.
