theres a few things you can do. first do a google search. type in guitar tattoos, guitars, music tattoos, rock n roll tattoos, etc. and click on the images section and you should get pictures of stuff similar to what youre looking for. you might need to type in a variety of different wording for the subject to get a broader variety of art. also if youre looking for a specific guitar and so on. ive spent many hours on google as im sure many artist do loooking for reference and have gotten pretty creative in the wording department to find what im looking for.
once you get some images you like print them out and go to the shop youve been referred to and talk the ideas over with an artist. WHATEVER YOU DO use the pictures of other peoples tattoos only for reference. these should help you get more of an idea what you might like and what you might not like. mix and match and get inspiration. then have the tattoo artist draw up YOUR OWN CUSTOM image.
your other option is go to a shop look thru the flash or art on the walls see what there is as far as music stuff etc. and get ideas from that. you dont need to get that exact tattoo but use the flash for reference as well as talking to an artist and bouncing your ideas off of them. they will probably come up with some other options and let you know what is or what isnt possible. make sure the artist is into what you want to get as well.
thank god for google i remember having to go to the library looking up reference or spendng hours at a magazine store flipping thru books and mags looking for stuff. oh yeah also look thru some music or guitar mags youll be suprised where you might get inspiration from. good luck and let us know what happens for you..
Hey Crockett....Ain't google wonderful? Jeeesh I remember the days before google...hell I remember the days before computers!(Yeah I'm an old fart!) I would use google even if I had to give em a cut! (OH SHIT!!! better not give em any ideas!lol) Taz
i hear ya taz. not that i consider myself old being 35 but im pre computor myself and it sure was different. funny thing being i thought the computor was to save time yet i find myself spending hours on google..lol.. forget it when it comes to looking at tattoos, artists, or just artwork in general. 2 hours spent studying work can feel like 5 minutes.
