Mireille Pelland

I'm located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada....we have maybe 6 tattoo shops in my whole city..

yea but I need to figure out which tattoo artist to see and how to make it into one back piece..cuz I am aiming for a whole back piece!

I need a visual

I'd want more of an elegant/pretty angel

Here's some pics for ideas:

I also wanted a specific tree added on eventually into a back piece...I'm just unsure of how to mix in the angel, the tree and possibly flowers but yet still have it looking good and cover the last one! I'd love to maybe have the angel sitting by the tree or something...not too sure how to make it work!

Here's the tree

We were together for a long time and got it while we were together. He was also very controlling so I almost felt like I had to! :/ But when I got it I was like oh well if it doesn't work out it can be covered!

Yea I'd leave it except that my ex boyfriends name is so huge and my current boyfriend hates it. I honestly don't blame him though, and I also hate to see it everyday! It brings back way too many BAD memories!

I say switch artists if you need to! My personal opinion is that all artists have a specialty (a style they are better in than others). If you need something realistic, some tattoo artists may say that's their strong or weak point. Everybody is different, so find the artist that suits you and the work you want done! I wouldn't feel bad! I think artists understand they have strengths and weaknesses!

I have tattoos on my hip, ankle, lower back and upper back and for me the lower back (specifically right on the spine) hurt the most!

Wow! It looks amazing! What a big difference!!

This is my worst! The lines is horrible and the pink was suppose to look like a ribbon! He also did a horrible job on my name (Mireille). He put the dot for the i over the r!

See that'd be doable but skulls, dragons, devil and tribal type stuff just isn't my style....I had thought of an angel but not sure wether it would work or not!

I'd recommend explaining that you'd be plagiarizing the work if you gave them that tattoo and that it's something you don't agree with. Then I'd offer to take what they have and see if they'd be willing to let you draw out something similar with your touch added to see if they like it. Takes a bit more work than turning them away but you may end up with more customers that way and it shows you care.

I'd have to agree with you! I only have a few tattoos for the main reason that for me they need to have personal meaning to them. Mine are not text though! lol

My name is Mireille. I'm from Canada! I have a few tattoos already and have had bad experiences so nowadays it's extremely important to me to find the best tattoo artists for my specific needs. I believe every artist has one technique (amongst others) that they are really good at, so it's all about picking the right one for the work I want done! :)

The main reason why I joined this community is because I have a tattoo of my ex boyfriends name on my lower back (see pictures) and I need some ideas on what to cover it with. I've seen a couple tattoo artists and the ideas they've given me so far are:

- an owl

- flowers

- wings

None of these really stuck to me so I'm looking for new ideas!

Thanks!!
