Large back tattoo but no drawing?
I have had this idea of what I want on my back for a tatto for a very long time. But I can't draw. I have a few pictures that, if put together the way I'm imagining, are what I want. How much does it cost to get a tattoo artist or somebody in general, to work with me on drawing it out for me? I know the tattoo itself is going to cost so much haha but thats okay in the long run. I'm not in a rush to get it yet. I would just like to get the drawing done.
I already have 3 tattoos so I'm not a stranger to it, but this will be the first one that will be a large piece of art on my body. Thats how I'm seeing it. Its about 4 years into planning haha.

I have a very large tattoo on my back...I designed it myself and I actually drew it myself...BUT when I got the the tattoo parlor the tattooist said I would have to have the tattoo done larger on my back otherwise in a year or 2 it would turn into a big blob...reason being.....because there was so much fine detail to the tattoo after a year or so it all would have just "mushed" together (in his words)....so I had it done larger (originally it was only supposed to me like 3 inches wide by 4-5 inches tall, now it covers half of my back)...
So the tattooist redrew my picture(i changed my mind about some of the details and wanted them changed or removed) so he spent a couple hours redrawing/designing my picture and once I liked it, he tattooed the outline of it on my back...doing the outline took about 4 hours....so the process of him redrawing the picture and tattooing the outline on my back cost me about $180 right there....then I went back to get a section of it colored in...that cost $80...and then I went back to get it completed and that cost $90....(that doesn't include the tip each time)... so altogether...$350....
I would just find a tattooist that you are comfortable with and will work with you on your drawing...your are going to be spending a lot of time with them...so you better like em

Since you just want the drawing and not the tat, why don't you just go to a high school art class and have someone draw you something....The Artist will charge you for his time and might not even do it, if you aren't planning on getting any work done.
They won't charge you if you go to a college art class or high school.

Generally a tattooist will draw something up for you if you give him/her a deposit. The deposit can be from $20 on up and generally that deposit is deducted when you pay for your tattoo. The reason they ask for a deposit is so they don't waste their time drawing something up and then you never show up.

just an artist and ask them if they can draw it out for you and how much it would cost

go to a artist who does custom pieces and they will be more than happy to listen to to your ideas and draw it up for you
