The tattoo Jess got today! Based off of original art by DarkIceWolf on FA (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6228434/) it's on her right shoulderblade as pictured; all black and white aside from blue eyes and a pink nose.

actually itched more than hurt for me when I got my tattoo. The only time it did start to hurt was when they were digging into the more muscly parts of my shoulder, and even then it only felt like that dull achy feeling you get when your running a fever or have the flu. (I got a big chaos symbol)
I actually passed out and slept just fine after mine. The waking up and forgetting that I had gotten it done the night before kinda sucked though. (I stretched like I normally would and the sore muscles protested)xD I am just sad that since I wasn't able to reach all of mine when it came time to keep up with the lotion and I oozed a LOT of ink I have to retouch it :C
I was trying to make it so that the tat artist would be able to actually do the design. I have been told (by tat artists) that it would be almost impossible for them to put most of my work onto flesh. This is why I chose to make it a bit more simple. Easier for the other artist to follow, yet still hold reality in mind.
I do however agree that there are some great tat artists out there, and they can do picture quality realism, but you end up paying out the butt for it. XD

I'm not trying to be a hater, because I think that the original art was quite lovely but I do say that I have to agree that perhaps a better artist could have been chosen. There are definitely some issues around the eye area that look absolutely nothing like what the original looks like. :/ Sometimes going with a cheaper artist in these cases isn't always the best because this is, after all, something that's going to be on your body forever.
the face looks really flat or like its melting :[ as an ex tattoo artist it looks like the hand wasnt very steady as the lines are inconsistent. And a lot of definition in the shoulders and paws were left out. Sadly there isnt much to be done at this point but fill in the face with more markings. But as long as you are happy with it thats all that matters.
The wings are really pretty though!

Hmm...this is definitely not a great interpretation. Looks like the tattooist is just not good with animals (a lot aren't - just look at most of the tattooist-drawn animal flash) and you'll need someone else to try and fix it. Not sure you can cure the eye being misplaced, but the eyes are kinda wrong on the original too.
I hope you can get it sorted. :)
