Tattoo?

*deep breath*

I'm taking the plunge... After years of wanting one, but being afraid of the pain, I am going to get a tattoo! I will go this evening to meet with the artist to hopefully convey what it is I want. I want a pegasus, on my right shoulder blade. It can't look too cartoon-y, but not evil and mean, either. I want it rearing up, with an awesome wing span. I'm not sure about the color. The guy I talked to Monday night, said they couldn't do white (that was the picture I showed him), but that they could do it with blues and it would have a white appearance. He suggested going with a grey tattoo, but that's not what I want. I want it colored, I just don't know how much color I'm comfortable with. I just hope I can explain to the artist what I want.
