hm.  i am bottling up all the things i have not yet oh idk.  DONE and so i uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh have returned to my default state of looking at references for the unicorn tattoo i wanna get
#apparently one of the best references for what i'm looking at like for its position/body#is uh...........a b*rnum poster.  which.  makes sense but i'm not exactly fond of the guy.#i'll be using the poster as reference because like it's got the horse and the ring of fire but like.  eeh.#how do i even explain the style to the artist whenever this does happen.  like.. traditional style but like with some extra carousel horse#sprinkled in there if yk what i mean can you do that for me#i mean to be fair i think i'm pretty clear in like what i'm looking for.  it's just a matter of finding the right artist#like..............................if my dad wants matching tattoos i sure as FUCK am not doing something stupid#unicorn.  hoop of fire.  the unicorn is mostly black and white with some red mixed in because van halen colors.#tbh the van halen colors are more important to him but i like the color scheme since that was what i had in mind from the beginning#then at one point he was like 'oh we could do the trans colors' yeah um thanks for being supportive now but um.  My Vision#and.. also.. we both have the same skin tone.  those colors would have to be hEAVILY altered in order for it to fade good i think#like yeah i'm gonna be doing more pride stuff and honestly i consider the unicorn a pride thing already#but if i just started putting pastel pinks and blues on me.. that's not gonna look good.  it really isn't.#like it needs to be rooted somewhere in reds and greens especially if i'm going for color.  because those don't like.. clash..#i'm overthinking this and comparing tattoo ink with makeup colors but like same idea.  i don't wanna pour money down the drain#for something that's gonna really need touching up a lot and also just not look great in the first place
