What to do, what to do?

So, Shannon, my boss, recently started her latest tattoo. And it has made me want mine that much more, at least the outline work, so that I can have something.

Those of you that have read my journal since its inception, or those you curious enough to go back that far know what I want, those of you that don't, allow me to give a little description.  It's going to be a picture of Eeyore, the Disney version, sitting on top of a hill, his back to you and he'll be looking over his shoulder, a rain cloud above him and maybe the sun peeking out from behind that rain cloud.  Grey probably, I much preferred him when he was gray as opposed to the blue that they have made him.  But the blue is a nice color too, grey however is a manlier color, so I'll probably go for that.  This one is going to have a lot of color, so I need to find someone that is capable of doing really nice color work, as well as cartoons, though I don't suppose it would be hard to trace lines, if that is how he/she is going to do it.

When I first imagined this I thought it was a relatively original idea but I must have seen it before or something because I have come across a similar picture on the web, I should probably print one out for when I got to the tattoo shop to get started on it.  Which reminds me, I have to remember to ask Shannon what shop she recommended.  I really want to get started on it within the next few months.

I probably won't be posting pictures of it, those of you that see me will be able to see it, I don't really want anyone saying "Ooohh I like that, I want one just like it."

I want something to be written under it in the style of writing that they used in the Disney movie, but I'm not sure if I want it to be an Eeyore quote or an original quote by me in an Eeyore style.  I'll decide at some point, I can get it added at any time I suppose.

That one's going to be on my calf; right or left, I'm not sure probably right, but the other calf is going to have Tigger maybe, or perhaps Eeyore again in a different pose.

Then I have to go about getting some Japanese Kanji or Katakana, but I want to find someone that can make those tattoos look like actual brush strokes rather than "block letters".   And there are the roses, red and black, I need someone really good with shading for those, especially the black one.  There are so many that I want, I just don't know how I'm going to make it all work together.  I'll find a way but for now I've just got to save up the money while getting myself out of debt, so that I can actually get the damn things.  Not to mention there are still some piercings that I want to get too.

Farewell for now.

P.S.  Any advice on artist, shop, or anything else is appreciated.

P.P.S.  Yes I know that I spelled grey in two different ways, I could never figure out which way I like better.
