I need a Tattoo

I am not in love with my backwards, L shaped scar that I have, courtesy of a tractor loader bucket spike. I posted it somewhere on this site stitches and all when it happened 2 years ago? Any hoo I thought I would dress it up [camouflage?] It is on the outside of my left calf about midway up I have 2 questions....

1) What should I put there
2) How do you find a tattoo artist?

2) Look in a tattoo parlor. (Yeah, that's a little obvious, I'm drunk)

Why hide such a righteous scar, that's almost as good as a dueling scar.

When you see local people with tattoos that look good, ask them where they got it done, and keep asking till someone tells you someone local. Its a good idea to have something in mind before you start. Some kind of theme at leazt, then refine the idea with the tattoo artist. Thats my advice.

Maybe you should get a tractor (haha), or something that represents rural life? Maybe the tree of life image? Or you could get kurt cobains head.

I know nothing about this, but I'd add "until you hear people telling you the same local name"

You could make it into one of the Ls in Cellar ...not that anyone here is backwards.

You could have the Grim Reaper upside down and make that her scythe?

If it were me, I'd leave it. But I'm a wuss about permanent body alterations

Got a name and saw some ink that blew me away! If I was younger I would have a small being looking at the inside of my wound and another trying to sew it up Since I am older I will go for something classier. I will have to save for awhile kinda pricey but I want something like this : sometimes the Cellar does not allow me to post photos or my server >

Okay, but, in another 15 years will you not be older still? If the you of today would no longer be pleased with what the youthful you would have gotten, what makes you think that future you will like what you choose now? Not trying to specifically talk you out of it, just playing Devil's Advocate since it's a major decision and you do have time to think about it.

Will you post a pic of the scar as of now so we can make a more informed suggestion?
I could design something for you. I have a BFA, you know, and I'm artistic as hell.

F3 I know you are a major talent! You would design something for little 'ole me? :O I like the idea of a Peacock because the feathers could camo the rough surface of my scar. Still cannot post photos here %^&%! Maybe I will open my dreaded internet explorer and see if that will work.
