My BFF when I was fifteen had wanted a tattoo forever. Since we were going to BFF, we decided to get matching tats, on our feet. We went to a local shady place since we were underage. My friend didn't have enough money, so I went first. Then when we went back the following week to get hers, the place had been busted for doing underage tattoos.

So I, the one who never wanted a tat, have one, and she doesn't. Needless to say, we haven't spoken in years.

It's completely meaningless to me - it's a chinese dragon I picked off the wall. And because it's on my foot which gets a lot of chaffing and sun, it looks terrible. I asked someone if they could cover it maybe ten years ago, and he said it was too blurry.

I keep sort of meaning to get it redone. I think the dragon, which was mostly blue, could be redrawn as ocean waves, and I love dolphins, so I can imagine an anklet with dolphins above the water. I don't really know how to get started finding a good artist here, and getting the initial drawing done. So hey, if you guys know anyone who could help me out in SF, let me know!
My husband found his tattoo artist at a tattoo convention. There were hundreds of tattoo artists there and they display their drawing in a portfolio binder. I did a search for you for "tattoo conventiion" in the SF area...and theres one at the Cow Palace Aug 20-22, 2010....here's the link http://www.bodyartexpo.com/MAIN.PHP I think this is the best way to see everyone's skills.

Oh and my husband had a coverup done that was blurry...and now it looks FANTASTIC! Just talk with the artists there and ask them their opinion on your coverup.
