Tattoo time, photoshoppers help please.

James07 · 16 Sep 2008 at 16:35

In 2005 i lost my friend, i watched her collapse and die infront of me after an attack, so in memory of that i wan to get a tattoo, its taken a long time for me to do it but ive finally decided to..

Now, positioning is an issue, im thinking back of the bottom of my right leg or on the back of my left shoulder...

I want something like a rose (bit corny i know but itll look nice), with the text

"Aimee Wellock

1989-2005

Rest In Peace"

or possibly

"Aimee Wellock

Rest In Peace

1989-2005"

In a nice font and style,

I want some photoshopping help if possible to show me how it could look?

Ive the got rose that id probably use below, add the text as you please.

This pic minus the little rose..

Thanks,

James07.

I'm not really helping much, but this is a beautiful thing to do for a good friend. I'm sure someone will post a masterpiece shortly. Good luck

If you go along to a studio won't the artist be able to draw something up for you? Just a guess.

Good for you, and sorry for the loss.

Thats right but they do charge more for that service

Won't this have to be done at some stage anyway?

Nah they usually copy what youve done, and stencil it onto you.. They might make slight alterations but i doubt itll be anything major that they would charge me for..

Yeah I would have thought so. I only have two small stars on my wrist and they had to draw them up even though they are basically just some small lines joined up.

I would recommend going to a tattoo parlour and getting them to draw it up. The extra cost, if applicable, will be worth it for something you have to live with for the rest of your life.

I'd prefer to go with the tattoo artist tbh (no offense OCuK)

I'm sure you can draw something up on paper that would give them the idea.

Meh im crap at drawing to be honest, id rather have sometime properly designed that i can agree on now so that if they dont show me anything i like they can just do as ive choosen, its a sour subject so i want it to be perfect, especially as itll last for ever.
