Jan. 22nd, 2008 11:30 amI'm going to get a tattoo when I qualify as a teacher. I've decided that ages ago, and I've always promised myself that I'd get a tattoo if I wanted it for more than five years; this one's been longer than that, I think.
Things is, I have a really specific idea of what I want - have the image (kinda celtic knotty) and everything - but I kinda need someone else to make it coherent for me. Turn it into an actual tattoo design. I'd approach people directly, only I have no idea who would be capable/willing. I'm absolutely willing to pay for the design once it's finished, because to be honest it's entirely possible I'll be a pain in the arse while it's being sorted out. It's kind of important that I get this right. ;)
So yeah. Basically, I'm looking for someone artistic who's willing to be bossed around. I have no idea how many people reading this LJ would qualify - if you know someone who might be willing who doesn't have me friended I'd really appreciate you giving them a nudge in my direction.
I figure it'll help to get work done if I'm aiming for something concrete, too. :D

Date: 2008-01-23 01:28 pm (UTC)Yes. Can you send me measurements? I need the circumference of your wrist where you want it to be, and the width you want it (I don't know how thick your watch band is likely to be).
In terms of fee - how does £15/hour sound? The initial design should take me an hour/hour and a half, then about the same again for editing (including correspondence) assuming I don't completely fuck it up the first time. The brief is pretty clear though so that shouldn't be an issue. I'm prepared for there to be a number of edits as you say your idea is quite precise, but edits really shouldn't take long.
If that's okay, email me the measurements to helen at wax-and-wane.org. If it's not okay, make me an offer, I'm pretty flexible :)
