I’m getting a tattoo soon but I’m a bit confused. I want a custom done but I’m not sure how it works – do I have to draw the tat myself? Does the artist design it for me? Can I take a photo down with me and have a tattoo drawn from that?

I can’t design graphics for toffees so I’m wondering how this works? Thanks!
Thanks for the answers so far. Mace it’s none of your business whether I have tattoos or not so keep your opinions to yourself please.
If it’s a photo it’s not custom? Um… what? I meant a photo I have taken, not one I got off Google Images, lol.

I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo for a long time. I never knew exactly what I wanted. One month, I would find one/think of one I would really like, and the next month it wasn’t as interesting. I finally know I want a tattoo that is Bob Marley related. A photo of him and I guess a few other things to personalize it.

My concern is finding a tattoo artist in Northern Indiana that I have confindence in to actually draw Bob Marley on my arm with out making it look all jacked up.

This is alright too:

Looks like the tattoo artist was drunk:

I guess my question is how much more difficult is it for a tattoo artist to do a portrait as compare to lets say a tribal design? Should I not settle for just any tattoo artist with business? Price Estimate?

I got this tattoo about a year ago and it feels kind of empty how haha. I think I want to put some graphics around it to make it feel more full. Anyone got any cool ideas??
This is a pic of that tat.
