Tattoo help please (numerous questions)?

I know a girl with Van Gough's 'Starry Night' tattooed on her back, in eye-poppin' color. It's vivid, and really turns heads. If you've got a blank canvas, find some art that you'd really like. Look at tattoo artist's portfolios to find an artist good enough to do what you want. Don't settle for less than the best. You've only got one shot at it. The back is pretty tough. They're uncomfortable. Slamming your hand in a car door is painful. Getting tattooed is like a bee, stinging you.
