to me, the artist should be a technician that is taking my creative idea and putting it on my skin for me, not me supplying a canvas for the artist
anyone else agree?

Its both. You of course have the input and all the decision making power to what kiind of piece your are going to get but at the same time you skin is the medium the aritist is working on. To me its the same as commissioning a piece of art for you home whether its a painting or sculpture, when showing it to someone you can say it was my concept or your idea but you still need the artist to make it come to life. You cant have one without the other.
Also alot of people with alot of tattoos tend to develop relationships with their artist that when they are asked wow thats an amazing piece where and why did you get it your more than happy to give praise to the artist that gave you the piece.
My artist will tell you herself I am one of her biggest cheerleaders. She is now one of my best friends and its a relationship that developed over the tattoo machine.
