I would advise to look for an artist that has done alot of and has experience with tribal/polynesian styled tattoos. Look in your area for someone that has clean line work and similar styled tattoos in their portfolio. There should be more than a handful of artists that would be comfortable with putting a design like this on skin. Finding a reputable artist is always very important.
Thanks for submitting the design, it's so beautiful and amazingly well drawn. I love the shading especially. Don't worry about it! I appreciate everyone who submits their designs, no matter at what stage they do so. You've just made my decision a hell of a lot harder! Thanks so much for putting time into this.
Here is what I have drawn up for you, love doing designs like this, kinda relaxing. I know I'm a bit late but appreciate feedback and can make any changes(even after contest) or if you are online If you don't care for it that's fine, can't wait to see what others have drawn (best part).
Hope this helps!
