My 21st Birthday Draws Nigh. I have a few options kicking around my head, and on the second of may, I have decided I'll be putting down a deposit on a tattoo (So I'll be getting in touch Rytch, in a few weeks).
Here are the Options I've been mulling over since... well, since I came out of old studio with my first one.
1. An Arrow. Fine Pencil drawing style, flint arrowhead and hand tied feather and traditional nock. I've spoken to you about this sorta design before, but it's the placement thats getting to me.
It'd be going on my inside left arm. Ideally from wrist to shoulder (arrowhead at wrist), but I don't want to really get something below my elbow yet. I could have it much smaller from elbow to shoulder, but that'd be a compromise, and I won't compromise something thats permenant.
2. An Owls Feather. I really have a fondness for birds of prey, since I was assistant to the educational advisor to the keeper of the queens eagles, and I have one on my (and I'm well aware this is a bit of hippy cultural appropriation) dream catcher (I was a teenager, y'all understand, it also has flint arrowheads, bellumnights, an oak apple, a spotted ducks feather and I made it myself at least).
The Owls feather is from our barn, and it was a barn owl. The Feather moves noiselessly through the air, and has a beautiful pattern. I'm unsure of where to place this.
3. This is the latest idea, but it really sounds good to me. It is the most expensive. I get a half sleeve done on my left arm, of all the leaves of the native British trees (33 species). In Dark Greens, with a few browns and lighter shades to bring it out, it should looks good. It'd be an expression of my love of my native forests, even if they are not the once mighty wilderness they were, and even if I leave my native habitation for far off places. Possibly get a green man face in there somewhere.
So Rytch, why am I spewing this over your site... Simple, I'd like your advice, and possibly inquire as to pricing. Do you still have your hire an artist all day Offer?
I'm up in Manchester right now, Otherwise I'd just drop in and ask.
