Tattoo for my mum and brother

[welliesarefuntowear]

I have an idea for a tattoo that I would like to get but no idea how to start. I would like a red and white poppy intertwined together. My mum died art the beginning of the year and she loved poppies and enjoyed cross stitch and did several with poppies. The white one is for my brother who died 20 years ago and him and my mum are buried together. I would like recommendations for an artist that could do something like this and I would like it to look quite delicate and a natural wild flower. I am within travelling distance of quite a few cities as I live in the East Midlands. Thanks for any advice.

My advice would be to google good artists in the cities you'd be willing to travel to (i.e. google "best tattoo artists in Derby", "best tattoo artists in Nottingham", etc.) and then find their instagram pages and look through them and pick one who you like. Then email them about a consultation.

Really try to look at as many as possible so that you can get an idea of how good a good tattoo can look. Might as well go for a good one if you're gonna commit to something for the rest of your life.

I asked people who had tattoos I liked where they had them done.
