First tattoo (help me?)

Gnome said
how about a celtic cross style but instead of the pattern inlay, use the pistons.

the artist will def help you figure it out, especially if they hadn't done it before...they like new stuff thats not over done. unlike nautical stars, fairies and the boondocks saint cross or prayer.

not sure exactly how i'd use the pistons INSTEAD of the pattern inlay..but i can sorta see it. i'm not a very artistic person at all. so it doesn't help the process.

and i know that the artist will help me. i'm just leary of paying somebody to start drawing it up. because if I end up not liking whatever they draw up, i'll end up paying for a drawing that I don't even like. I know that if I DO end up getting the tattoo through that artist though, that they wont charge for drawing it up..

and yes. I like my idea and its unique. I hope that I can find an artist who can help me out! i'm asking around between family/friends/coworkers to see if anybody can help me sketch something up
