Thanks for the support, ruggerp11! I'm probably at least six months away before I get my first ink. I'm already altering the design, and moving closer to the lifelike characters Bill Reid incorporated in his art, his most revealing example being his sculpture "The Spirit of Haida Gwaii". I'm seriously thinking of getting a full landscape done in that style, on the entire back of my body, from my upper arms down to my calves, all done in black ink with shading, mainly to avoid potential allergic reactions to colored inks (I might be vulnerable to them).
I might still change my mind later. That's why I have to spend a lot of time on this design as well as find the right artist to do the job. It'll probably take a year to finish all the tattoos, and I'll be wearing this work of art for the rest of my life.
The more I think about doing this, the more I really, really like it. I should have thought of this ten years ago!
