Tis a beautiful tattoo by the way. Well done.
it hurts but you know...only while its being done
besides, the pain is temporary!
and you shouldnt worry about anyone stealing your design. this is original work, with your ideas, and your tattoo artist's personal touch and flavor.
if someone looked at this and became inspired, im sure they would want do the same.
that is, use it as a starting point, add their own personality to it, along with the artists personal touch. most tattoo artists wont do direct copies, even if you bring a photograph of a peice, like your photo here.
they will take the design, put their own spin on it, tweak it here and there, and make it an orginal of their own.
at least thats the way i work, and the way all of the tat artists i know, work.
we dont copy. we make it our own...use it as a break off point.
of course, their are people who would try and copy line by line, if you demand it, or if they are backroom inksters, but even then its not gonna be exactly the same.
it cant be duplicated precisely, and YOU know that its an original, your design, that it was on YOU first, and having someone copy it means precisely that. its a COPY.
so, no worries watson. be happy, dont worry
