Memorial Tattoo, Angels, Wings, Stars, Moons, etc.

Anyone with any GOOD sites or ideas regarding any of the listed above [in subject[ please contact me. I have a month left before getting my tattoo and am growing aggresively frustrated that I cannot find "the" one yet. This tattoo is in memory of my great grandmother, however, I do not one of the usual hearts or crosses, but I do want a banner. The tattoo will be placed in the center of my back. I want something very delicate, and pretty. If anyone knows any artists in the Florida Keys area, let me know. I have one picked out - but would like to feel around the area, as well. Also, if anyone knows of anyone I can pay (preferably a professional) to work with me on a design, I'd be interested, too. No fakes, please. Serious only. I'm "paradise stuck", meaning I'm surrounded by oceans and about maybe 5 tops tattoo shops, only 1 of which I'll step into. Two hours from mainland makes for a harder time to see designs - I'd rather work something out via mail if this is my last resort. Thanks - Kelly
You should work out the design with your artist. They should be fully capable of working angels, wings, stars, and moons into a unique drawing for you. If no one can help in the keys, then find a good artist somewhere else in the states and take a "tattoo" vacation. The best design in the world wont help if the artist cant do it justice, and with a memorial piece, you should make sure you find the best. Ill ask around about aritsts in the keys...
Thanks, I understand what you mean - the closest thing to a "tattoo vacation" I'll be able to take is looking for someone in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area, if you know anyone there, I'd appreciate it.
Found fantastic artists in the keys!. Both Greg and Lou at Paradise tattoo in Key West come highly recommended. Tell them we say hello.
