I want to get a tattoo of the zodiac cancer crab with my initials and my family members initials around it.?

<< I am looking for a picture of the Cancer zodiac for a tattoo, any ideas?
Unfortunately, i have nooooooo talent when it comes to drawing. Does anybody who may have some drawing skill want to maybe help me design the tattoo? I’d be willing to pay.
What I would do if I were you is go online and look for the picture that you have in mind and take that to the tattoo artist. If you get one from the flash art (the drawings on the walls of tattoo shops) you won’t get a unique design. And most tattoo artists are also excellent sketch artists. BUT before you do that, get some tattoo magazines and research tattoo shops in your area. I don’t know where you are from, if Michigan I could recommend a few people but if not another favorite thing I do is whenever I see someone with a tattoo that looks really good, say "Hey nice tat where did you get it?" People love to talk about their tattoos. Look at the lines, are there any breaks? Sometimes if you look real closely at a tattoo you will see where the artist didn’t hold the gun very steadily. Look at the color, is there any faded spots? That can be a sign that either it wasn’t taken care properly in the first stages or the tattoo artist pushed the needle down too hard.
For some reason people want to get tattooed in the summer, and really that is the worst time to do it because although the instructions that they give you tell you not to go directly in the sun for 7 days it is really more like 2 or 3 weeks depending on your skin, the sun will pull the ink out, and you can not swim after getting one done. As long as you don’t mind that though you are good to go.

I just did a quick google search and actually found something that’s kinda cool. Your tattoo artist should be able to help you sketch out something you really like as well.
