Cancer Survivor Wants Difficult(?) Tattoo

3 messages · last activity 10/29/2005

I am 18 years old and am in remission from cancer. I want to get a tattoo of my favorite oil painting to cover my right shoulder-as symbolism of being a survivor and as an individual. Well, I actually want somewhat of a reproduction of my favorite painting that I did myself. The problem is I don't know if i could get the tattoo since it was originally an oil painting-and i cant seem to be able to reproduce anything like it with permanent markers, although i can with pastels and crayons. I also want to have someone with lots of experience and someone who knows how important the tattoo is to me to do it. If anyone can help me out, please let me know. I live in Louisville, Ky-and i cannot travel far.
Also, about how much should I expect to pay for a tattoo like that?
