Looking for an artist - tattoo design
There is some genuine talent on this board, and if none are interested, I'm sure you can at least refer me to some friends/acquaintances online which just might be.
I've been toying with a tattoo design for years, but I lack the talent to turn it into what I really want. I know I could just walk into a good parlor and ask the artist to finish it for me, but so long as I'm not satisfied with the design on paper I can't decide myself to go out and get it done. Vicious circle of some sort.
So, would anyone be interested in giving it a shot? Even if it's not the final design, it might get me another approach on what I'm trying to do.

I know which items I want featured, but I'm completely opened as far as the style is concerned. I have one style laid out, my own, but I feel I've been going around in circles with it trying to make it better, so I'd like to see how others can spin it.
I'd show what I have, but it might interfere with the process, so I'll only do so if I can't put into words what I'm looking for.
Without going into details as far as the meaning is concerned, I'm looking to have three items on it. A falcon, perched, with the wings close to the body (think the Maltese statue, no spread wings), a diamond and a delta (triangle). I've put the diamond on a chain around the neck, and while the falcon was previously somewhat perched on the delta, I've recently turned the triangle upside down, as a natural expansion of the wings.
Because it all looked a little too serious, and I like to keep things silly, I've added a hat and a monocle to the bird
Not sure if I want some colours or not, but if I do, it'd be limited to some items, like the falcon eye, which should be blue.

How about if you put the Triangle shape up and put the Bird inside of the Triangle, kind of making the Triangle act as a Frame... Then you can keep the Diamond around the neck or you could have the Bird perched on the Diamond...
Any of that making sense or am I misreading what you're trying to do???

That's pretty much how I had it originally. The delta was a frame, and the bird was "inside" of it. It's still the case with the current design, but the triangle is upside down, still serving as a frame. In other words, it cuts the bird somewhat bellow torso.
I guess I'll just put what I have. It's a little embarrassing, when you can't draw for sh"t

So like I said, I'm opened to variations and entirely different styles (serious/streamlined/detailed/comic, etc), it's just that I'm personally stuck with one idea and I can't seem to spin it any other way, hence why I'm calling out to people with actual talent and imagination!

It's a better drawing than I could do...
You could always make the Triangle bigger in order to fit more of the bird in...
What about taking the Bird out of the Triangle and putting it on top... Have the Bird standing on the Triangle... You could have it standing on the Point or you could turn it over where the point is facing down and the bird is standing on the long side...
