hi guys,
i need a favor! i want to get a new tat and i'm thinking something floral. i want it to be a vine starting at my hipbone and curling down to my crotch. i want flowers on it, they don't necessarily have to be orchids, though. i'm not much with the artistic talents, so i was wondering if anybody could sketch something out for me. thanks ya'll!

orchids don't really grow on vines...clematis are pretty though...

Question...

would you want the vine to end in the pubic area, or in the inner thigh?

Dixie

probably inner thigh

I would suggest just having someone draw a "sample" of the flower you're wanting, and a small portion of the vine, then go to a tattoo artist who you greatly trust, and have him/her actually draw in the vine and specific placement of the flowers, based on the drawing that you bring in. That way, you're much more likely to have a tattoo that fits your body and compliments the natural shapes. That's what I had to do for my latest piece. I drew up what I wanted in the piece, but left it up to the artist to decide exactly how to put all that stuff onto my arm. It really improved the fit.

And as for the drawing, I suck at flowers, so I'm afraid I'm not much help.

the previous flower kind of in this style, maybe a little smaller:

That would look pretty hot. Unfortunately, drawing flowers isn't really my thing, so I can't help with the design. I'd love to see the finished product though.
