Plz help w/ design any artists?

Ok im ready to get a tattoo, and as with many people i want my tattoo to symbolize one of my infatuations. I love the game of basketball but everywhere i look i cant find any ideas, i see a lot of cool tribals and kanji and stuff, but i want something i know im gonna love for a long time. Ive tried to find some pics online of players in the NBA and kinda collaborate to find an idea but no one posts pics of their tats. Im just asking please if there are any artists out there that are willing to help me please email me.

I would find a ton of photos of the game, and a kick ass custom tattoo artist to colloborate with on the tattoo. Finding a talented artist is not always easy, though. Where abouts do you live?

yeah i got a couple of SLAM magazines its a basketball magazine that has a lot of closeups i didnt know if i should bring it and if itd be helpful at all. I live in Northern Virginia. I have a friend that said jinx proof in DC did a pretty good job and he was gonna take me there?

Yeah, bring the magazines and ideas to the studio. Dave Waugh from Jinx comes highly recomended, though all of their portfolios are online (you have looked at their portfolios right?). Tell the artist what area you would like the tattoo and a bunch of photos, and between the two of yas I reckon a real sweet custom tattoo will emerge! Given the nature of the game, you could get some real nice depth in the tattoo if you get it big enough. Send along a pic when yer done if you want! good luck!
