// Want a tattoo of someones art?? In my opinion, here is a perfect example of how to address an artist you are interested in, mainly for the second 1/2 : //
“Firstly i’d like to say you are an amazing artist, i was just casually scrolling down my news feed on facebook when a tattoo site had uploaded a picture of your ‘Iris’ from your tatboard account and i instantly fell in love. She is so beautiful and i couldn’t stop staring at her, then i said i have to have her! I went to your website, followed all the links and bought her on Etsy ^_^
so basically i’m sending this email to ask if i could have your permission to have this beautiful lady tattooed on me (i was thinking on my top thigh but i will talk to my artist and see what he would recommend) I have always respected the works of an artist and I know some are very protective of their work. If you say no i can respect your decision and just keep her on my wall. But im really hoping you’ll say yes. Thank you for your time in reading this and keep up the amazing work
From Melissa.”
Melissa has made my day. Thank you for the respect and love and I can’t wait to see her new ink.
I know many artists don’t go for this but personally I find it the highest compliment an artist can receive.
All I humbly ask is a donation so I can keep creating and (I will send you a signed print) and/ or post it on my wall.
Lets all share the love and art.
