Tattoo Advice (verse, religion, Wicca)

Everyone tells me I should do tattoo but I've never got to mess around with a tattoo gun so I wouldn't know how good I'd be as an actual artist, though everyone loves the custom flash I make for them.

I have heard that the hard part is working with the people. The guy that did mine told me I was one of the easiest ever to do work on. He said I didn't budge or twitch at all. We were talkin and whatnot the whole time too. When he did the outline I just held my breath and bearhugged the chair. He said they have seen big bad cocky actin biker guys walk in there and whine and pass out and almost pee themselves. ha ha. Imagine working with that.
I bet people would pay you just to do the custom flash.

Would it be possible to either have a full moon tattooed around it, with varying gray shading and all to make it obviously be moon related? Or perhaps complete the circles that the crecents form, as another drew, and have each of them lightly shaded different colors? Since there would be overlap, perhaps just do something like the primary colors in the moons and the secondary colors in the overlaps?

Oh, and I have only two tattoos, each done by different artists, but each one made comments about how women, in general, are better to do tats on because there are less problems with reactions/fainting. Each time I have been in a tattoo parlor and have seen men get tattoos, I have seen at least one turn sheet white and either near faint or faint.

What I find most funny is that I tend to find that men that have a fear of needles usually have tattoos. Why the hell is that???

That is probably what I'm gonna do, or something similar.

A bit off topic but I'm getting one fo the Green man which is my persoanl deity. I wanted one just like my avater but too much money & work so I'm going with this one. I want it on my right calf on the outside of it. Never nind for some reason there is no way to upload it on my screen.

Just make sure you get the artist you want! The artist that does the tattoo makes such a difference! Take a pic after you get it and upload it

Yeah I'm going to very careful about who does it I don't see a way to upload on this forum.....

To upload pictures go to ImageShack® - Hosting, it's free. I searched for a year to find an artist specifically for the tattoo i want. Have to look at their shading, color, and just how their work is, in relative to the tattoo you want. Unfortunately for me, i now have acne right where the tattoo is going....maybe im being told something lol.
