How does a tattoo work?

Hey to start off with that looks wicked. if you have managed to draw it out perfectly then take it into the tattooist and show them if not then if they have got internet access they might be able to look at it which will give them an idea on what you want, they draw it on special paper i think that then sticks to the skin which then gives them the lines to tattoo on. That is one thing i have never asked them or taken much notice on as i have about 10 tattoos which still keep coming lol. Good luck and i hope i have helped x
