Custom Art for Tattoos

Looking for an artist that can do custom designs for tattoos.

Now I know what you're thinking: There's tons of tattoo artists in Geelong, what are you on ya dill? But let me explain:

A mate of mine has his own rotary set-up but doesn't have the time to draw up his own designs. I'm keen for him and him only to do the work as he's got mad skills and I trust him.

Now I know what you're ALSO thinking: Just hit up a random tattoo artist for custom designs? But most tattoo artists aren't comfortable with other tattoo artists inking their work, which is totally fair enough and understandable from a financial and artistic standpoint.

So keen to find someone that can either A) Create designs that are suitable for tattooing or B) A tattoo artist that is comfortable with their art being engraved by someone else.

For reference I'm keen on:

• Black ink only. I like polychromatic designs on other people but not my style personally.
• Gothic/medieval/dark themes.
• Small/medium designs only.
• Artists that are comfortable with being given examples of reference but also cool with having no reference art to go by either.
• Nothing TOO detailed or technical. Simple is best and I don't want to do my mate's head in lol.
• Cost is also a factor as I'm keen on volume. I can appreciate that higher quality = higher cost, but cost of living bro.
• Artist doesn't have to be in Geelong either as I'm going to be printing off the design and giving it to old mate, but would prefer to support fellow Geelongians if possible.

If anyone can help please let me know. If I end up rolling with your recommendation I'll get your name on my ass (semi joking).

Thanks heaps!
