Dear INKEDblog: How Do I Find Wings?

Dear INKEDblog,

I have been looking for about 3 months for a pair of angel wings to go on the sides of an angel but I can’t find anything perfect enough– the tattoo is in remembrance of losing my baby.

What should I do? Also, where is a good place to get it so it is conservative?

Please help me, all your artwork is beautiful and I am hoping to actually come to your shop to have it done, but I can’t without the perfect picture.

Dear Reader,

We are so sorry for your loss. Though three months may seem like a long time to look for an image now, it will not feel like that in the future.

Be sure to take a long and measured length of time while searching for your image. No one but you will know what that perfect image will be until it appears to you. For help, look in Google images, in the library, and in the art section of bookstores rather than at tattoo flash. You will find something unique and personal that way.

Once you have found an image that you like, always know that you can ask the artist to modify any aspect of the pic to suit your personal circumstances.

As for your desire to have your tattoo in a ‘conservative’ location, we assume you mean where it will not be seen unless you choose to show it? If yes, assess your clothing style. The back or shoulder is a place that can be hidden easily in most types of weather, but also exposed at will.

Best of luck,
INKEDblog
