OK, I have WAY too many questions!!

I am gettin gready for my first tattoo. I cannot find a design I like and I am unsure of a "quality" place to go. I do not want something that looks like it was done in a garage (no offense to anyone).

Here is my story and I am open to any ideas! I am getting ready to celebrate the depressing BIG 32! I have 3 adopted children that are Native American. I want to honor them by getting a small tattoo on my back. Does anyone have any ideas of a design or place to go in Iowa?

Don't know how spiritual a person you are, but if you're looking for ideas, then why not get their animal totems?

Don't know of any artists in Iowa, but I'm sure you'll get some suggestions here on the forum.

Best of luck...

depending on where you are in IA I would suggest going to Madison, WI. Brian at Capitol City Tattoos and Jim at Ulitmate Arts are both amazing.

what about tribal and have their names put on it? don't get a tat until you are sure what you want. personally speaking i have 5 tats right now and they all sorta "spoke" to me. i know that sounds crazy but it's true so wait until you find a design or create your own that speaks to you

best of luck
