So I wasn't able to do what I wanted to. Since the album cover is basically composed of portraits, there was no way she could do one that small without it being a blob. Considering that I had vowed never to get a photograph (particularly a portrait) tattooed on me because they never seem to look right, it made sense. I had hoped that the photos were abstract/monochrome enough to not be a problem, but alas.
So I'll have to come up with a different way to commemorate my musical obsession from age 14-23.
In the meantime, I will be getting a scarab incorporated into the ouroboros tattoo on my left arm. Soon. :D
And even though the major plan failed, I was still able to add Scruffy to my kitty memorial, so it was not a total loss. :)
