OT: Mario Themed Tattoo Design Sleeve

[xXxSpyderxXx]

im looking to see if someone can draw up a sleeve for me? its going to be dedicated to my grandma who passed away. it is super mario themed bc we used to play it together every time i came over. she got me into video games.

here is the start of it so far.

im looking for a nice clean look. here are a few others that i like so you get a idea of what im looking for. i am NOT looking to copy any of these below. just giving you a few samples to get a feel for what im looking for.

will be willing to pay or trade a frag or to for the sketch.

any question please ask

I don't know about the whole deal, but that 5th one is some sick needlework!

not sure if you have an artist picked out already? looks like you plenty of reference material. i'd take what you have and work something out.

I only know general knowledge about tattoos, but I do know enough that you should consult a pro tattoo artist for a sleeve like that. you don't want to skimp on the art.

If you have a good artist he should be able to work with you,you have plenty of reference to work with plus can get tons more.I do some drawing,but it is my experiance that when you go in studio they pretty much toss hand drawn stuff to the side.I'd start by picking who or what you want nice and big(like chomper-he's big)do you want anymore marios or just the one?supporting cast?Pick who is important start with them and you can use others to fill in the negative space.Inside of the upper arm and your ditches(inside elbow) are the most sensative(painful) areas on you arm just keep that in mind.

This isn't an overly difficult design ...find the best artist you can and tell them what you want. Spend the money for a great artist even if it takes longer to get your piece completed. It'll be worth it in the end.

As for finding the "best artist" find the best that does that type of work,cartoon/modern my tattoo guy is an amazing artist does great portrait work but this might not be his thing-but if you want a dead on tat of your kid he's the man,if you want cartoon or lettering you might want to go see one of the other artists in the shop.I guess what I'm saying is know your artist's strenghts and weaknesses and choose the artist that fits what your looking to get.Also make sure they practice proper hygeine,you can get a great tattoo but if it get infected(or worse).....basicly if the guy doesn't have a shop (kitchen magican) with an autoclave,fresh needles ,ect just stay away.
