Tattoos

Is there etiquette regarding taking your own artwork in for a tattoo? M friend is an illustrator and is designing a tattoo for me. Would it be rude to ask a tattooist to essentially trace her design, without any creative input?

Chances are the design will need to be modified as skin and paper are very different mediums, depending on size it may not work very well in it's original form.

Studios don't charge for consulting so pop along and see what they can do.
