Bit of a broken record but don't get an illustrator to design something then give it to a tattooer, find a tattooer who's style you love and get them to paint something! A good illustration rarely makes a good tattoo.

Okey doke! Message received. I've not really done tattoos that way round before but take your point.
The illustrator in question has previously designed tats for me which have come out well so didn't think otherwise. At the very least her skills may help us decide on pose and the overall setting of the piece.

SteveP - cheers dude, know that tattoo forums is the place to go but I hate the interwebs so was kinda hoping the forum wisdom might pop up with a perfect response! Will begin the trawling... Luckily I have a friend who is an amazing illustrator so she's happy to start playing around with some artwork. I believe a lot of the pinup stuff was traced/drawn from photographs and she's up for having a go at that side of it for her own amusement anyway.
Finding the tattooist is the last piece of the puzzle as LadyLiz is undecided how she wants to portray herself. Bit of a weird one really! Erring on the side of classy not cheap and tawdry...
The_Seldom_Killer - I hate using seagull bashers at the best of times(as handy as they are) so pretty unlikely to get one! My arm of random may get another climbing tat- possibly a sprung sticht plate or the topo of Bishop's Terrace in Yosemite(I left a lot of flesh in the fist crack section).
