6. Oranges that look like cherries

10. This octopus looks disappointed.

Never get a tattoo unless you've seen the artist work on someone else. Never get a tattoo unless you've seen every picture in an artist album. Never get a tattoo unless the artist is completed training and has thousands of logged hours as a trainee, and you need to talk to their mentor. Never get a tattoo unless you can talk to people the artist messed up on...and then had to have it corrected. Never get a tattoo unless the artist had drawn out the tatt to your satisfaction as well as a third persons your brought with you to keep things level. Never get a tattoo free handed unless you see the artist in action freehanding on another person in progress and you have a CLEAR description of exactly what your want.
