I've read what has been going on here and it really does bother me. I draw for the simple happiness that it gives me and feel honored when my friends use them for their tattoos because of the originality aspect of it.

I have drawn much since then and am hesitant to post on here. I just finished a tribal tiger that was amazing, but don't want copying or false claims of it was someone elses work. My pride has always been drawing for my friends so they would not have something that is the typical flash, that was their own design. Do people respect that here? I know of some, they are great artists/renderers and have high respect for other peoples art no matter the caliber of it. And I've come across those who don't care, and have gotten into some fierce arguments of why they are doing that. At least I have asked permission to use, such as for backgrounds, and give FULL CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!!!! I will NEVER claim someone else's artwork as my own and find it insulting that there are people out there who don't give a rip.....

With all that said, and vented, I am still more than happy to draw for anyone. Please, just leave me a note. I will have the right to display it in my gallery as I created it, but it will be only your design for your tattoo. I will not offer it to someone else, unless you don't like it.

PLEASE RESPECT THAT UNLESS THEY ARE IN MY SCRAPS, THESE ARE ALREADY TAKEN BY PEOPLE AND THEY HAVE THEM ON THEIR BODIES!!!!!! Tattoos are originality......
