i did it myself on a friend of mine..
*facepalm* I see. You do lovely work! I asked because I was curious who the artist was; I am currently looking for someone to ink me. 
thank you muchly, my advice would be to spend the time and research your local tattooists, and work outward from there until you find someone who adequately represents the style you are looking for and shows some interest. there is nothing wrong with a little planning and patience...
PArticularly when the medium is so permanent, I getcha. ^^ Thanks~ I have a few people in mind here, but it never hurts to ask. Thanks for the reply!
