  • Can I get some tattoo advice please? Have sudden midlife crisis urge to get another. When I last had one (about 25 years ago), things were quite different ... I'm keen to get something a bit like the below image on my inside wrist. Where could I go to get this done with a high level of neatness? I'd refine/redraw in Illustrator, but is that acceptable? Do decent tatooists only want to do their own designs now? I'm open to someone else refining it, but equally am happy doing it myself.

  • My place printed the image to a transfer that they then imprinted a purple line onto me, they then followed the lines and filled where shading was needed. I was happy with this approach vs freehand.

  • people who leap to mind for this would be Paul or Nige

    In general it is as you say, any tattooist worth their salt wouldn't be hugely keen on just replicating something someone brings in on a bit of paper. Anyone would be ok with you coming in with that and saying "I want a cartridge bearing, sort of like this" though, I would expect.

    Both my suggestions are into bicycles in some capacity, if that helps.
