I am wanting to get a half sleeve done. I have some ideas and I wanted to know if someone can transfer that to paper. I want it to be like a Candy Land / Alice in Wonderland tattoo. Bright colors. Cupcake. Girly. I had an idea of a tree that’s pink with a pinkytoast doll with black hair standing under it or sitting. Then the candy land / alice in wonderland idea comes to mind. If someone could help me out, that would be awesome! Thanx!
It sounds like you’ve got a pretty good idea of what you want. I would suggest going by some shops, and find an artist that’s done something similar to what you want, or that’s the kind of design style you’re looking for, and ask to sit down and build it together. Some artists will require a design fee for people they don’t know, it’s usually about $20 from my experience. That way, you can find someone who not only knows how to tattoo your work, but before they touch you with a needle, they have a chance to get to know you and what you’re looking for. In my experience, this is a much better scenario then coming in with a full picture and just saying "here, tattoo this."
Keep in mind these people are tattoo ARTISTS, they enjoy tattooing much more when it’s their own work; rather then just coloring in someone else’s picture.
Hope that helps, that sounds like an awesome tat!

Don’t you have an artistic friend, or a friend on DeviantArt?
Maybe just go on Google, and gather some pictures of what you’d like your sleeve to incorporate, take them to the artist, and he’ll have a go at designing you something.
It’s better that way coz it’ll be totally unique when it’s done!

I have never seen a tat like that! Sounds super cool and all the bright colors will be awesome! I just used the website listed below and was able to take the finished design straight to my artist. Good Luck!
