Hey, curious if this artist actually asked permission to use your work...?
It is obviously fine if she did, but if she didn't then it isn't good. She did give you reference but that dosn't mean it gives her rights. Seems you already had problem with this piece as well.
Excellent work by the way, gorgeous koi.

Hey, if you would like to have it tattoed, my only request is that you buy a print for the tattooist to copy from.
A photo of the completed tattoo would be a bonus too

That sucks... I suppose there isn't really much I could do about it though.

Thanks
favour to ask- how long do u think this would take to tattoo?
My bf loves it, and he wants it on his upper arm/shoulder. I'm not sure whether to colour it... but that would cost a whole lot more. He's happy with it in b+w.
I was gonna buy my bf a couple hours in the tattoo chair for xmas, its about $100 an hour.

Depending on the artist you go to, but if it were me I would charge around 250-350$ for this tattoo if I didn't know the person. THat's for a decent size, but it's also hard to quote for a someone else. Just make sure you really check out the aritst's art and their tattoos before you pick someone. If you want, find the artist's portfolio online and send the link to me and I'll tell you which one you should go to.

How well do you know the guy that you want to do it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not that well, I've seen tattoos that he has done for 2 of my friends, and have had small talk with him. thats it lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If it was ME, I probably wouldn't have him do my stuff. It's kind of hit or miss. Some of his stuff is alright, but then other stuff looks sketchy. So it's up to you, but it wouldn't hurt to shop around

I like this better than the traditional way coys are done.
I know what a biro is, but I think most yanks might not.
Nice work all around. I'll have to mention this to some of my tatoo artist friends here in the states.
