You have some big plans there! I wish I had the money for big projects like this, but it's really not an option at the moment. Actually not even a small one right now. Maybe some day.
Did you already pick an artist? I think finding an artist is the hardest part. It's not like there aren't many awesome artists out there, but sometimes you have something in mind where one style might work with one artist you love, but not another one you also like. You know what I mean? I had a great artist tattoo my pets, but I don't really see his style working out for the cocobo for example.
And then, most of the time, most artists I like live in other countries. Unfortunately I don't think Germany has many great artists to offer. Or maybe that's not true - There are certainly many great tattoo artists here too, but not many that have styles that I like. Sometims I can admire a piece of work and see that it's well done. And I like it, it's just not something I would get myself. Like your valkyrie - It's awesome and I enjoy looking at it, but traditional style is not something I see getting for myself. The same goes for example for realistic tattoos. Some look awesome, but I would never get one myself.
And then of course there is the problem of actually getting an appointment. Especially if the artis is picky about his motives and might reject your idea.
