I have been looking at tattoo galleries to try and find somewhere shiny.
This means I have been looking at many, many, many pictures where I just want to offer my sympathies to the poor sod who'll be wearing that for life... yet they appear all pleased and proud and stuff...
There are many tattoo artists who should just avoid the human form. Some of them should avoid working on it, some should merely not attempt to depict it. And fair enough, some people like swirly designs and playing with color more. Just, when they do something ugly? It's a little higher stakes than a bad canvas.
The more I look, the more I like our local. http://www.livingcolourtattoostudio.com/index.html
Shiny shiny pictures in the window. And what they can do with humans actually looks like humans. Sometimes even famous humans so you can do comparisons. Rather awesome.
But it would feel weird to get a dragon just down the road. Butterflies maybe. Pen. Sword. Possibly even a Seal of Rassilon, except I'm not sure that's the symbol I want to represent Doctor Who, except if not that then what, the TARDIS? Anyways, what I mean is, many tattoos do not feel geographically specific, or if they do then specific to round here is fair enough. A dragon? Is not so much a Dereham thing.
... Norwich has a dragon hall. Maybe there's a Norwich dragon and a Welsh dragon, like bookends...
