Inflict Me With Pain!

[Yokai]

Ok - So here's what I'm looking for -

A really good tattoo artist that can do negative space work and isn't massively painful... I'm looking to put a tattoo on my hip, and I want to go to someone with a good reputation and excellent artwork...

The design is my own, but it's a japanese character (so someone with good lettering skills would be good) and is part of a bigger design

Any clues?

Well actually its on a muscle... I have very big external flexors (they've been likened to Bowie knife sheaths) so it won't be AS painful... I dunno - I just gotta get something done... at 34 years old I gotta have a midlife crisis somewhere - I also don't want Mrs Y to find out until I do it - ya know?

I would be interested too. I've always wanted a dragon, but I need a really good artist to design what I want.

HEY! you've already got a tattoo!

But seriously - I do graphic design work - let me know what you are thinking of and how big - and I'll knock some sketches together...

(Oh - KK - if you are reading this, I've got a template together for the website - I just haven't finished it yet - sorry things have taken so long)

Been toying with the idea myself for years now.
have a few religious designs from others but haven't found what I really like yet.
