Who can design a tattoo for me? - GoFuckYourself.com

I've been considering getting a piece done for quite some time. I know what I want but I can't find a really good image to take to a tattoo artist. I figure there must be an artist or two here with tattoo experience or who at least can design what I want.

I want a stylized version of the symbol for pi ( http://images.google.com/images?hl=e...h+Images&gbv=2 ), possibly with some sort of background (clouds/wisps, something abstract) but that's not entirely necessary. I heavily favor purples and blues for color but, hey, you're the artist. I'm thinking somewhere in the neighborhood of two to three inches square for size, give or take.

If you're interested, link your portfolio here or, better yet, throw up a sample pi for me to see. I'll either buy directly from whoever I like best or we can turn this into one of those "$50 for the best pi!" type threads, whatever.

Bonus points if you can recommend a tattoo artist in Las Vegas.

Super double awesome bonus if you can work the pi symbol onto the back of a poison arrow frog.

Nice piece, Juicy. I thought about talking to someone at a local shop to design the tattoo, but I think I'll feel better getting a complete design in advance and taking it in with me. That way I at least have a solid starter image that the artist at the shop can build from.

Most of the shops around here seem kind of like mass-production joints where they want you to pick a number from the book, pay and get the hell out. That's why I'm also looking for recommendations on where to go.

all good tattoo artists work with clients to create custom pieces that adhere to the clients ideal. find a good job and the artist will gladly keep drawing until you reach an agreement.
