If you've had work done by this guy before and was happy with it, I would trust his assessment on this design. I wouldn't jump straight to the conclusion that he's not capable if he doesn't want to do it. He may just be able to see the 'end product' on your body a bit more objectively. I find that he has integrity as an artist if he won't accept to permanently 'mark' you if his eye, skills and experience tell him what you want won't be quite right. I'm no tattoo artist but it doesn't look that complex of a design and I wouldn't have thought that he would throw away this job . He suggested some tweaks to make it work but, if you want a perfect copy of the design, by all means, check out another artist. No two will have the same vision and some are quite happy to tattoo whatever the client asks for without further input.
i trust him. he said he can do it, and would do it, but he just does not think that your average person walking down the street would know what it is. i will see what his tweaks look like. i just think that the color scheme would go perfectly with the existing tattoos, and it looks like a simple design that would translate well to tattoos. i don't do tattoos, so i don't have an artist's eye for it. i just get them haha. i do not want to cheat on this guy, as he has been working on some designs to complete the half sleeve, but if it is going on my body i am going to be pretty dilligent about having input on the final design.

Ok, so does anyone have good clear artwork of the three crooked hearts that I can take to my tattoo artist? I can only seem to find tattoos online when I google it.

Some great stuff here. I've posted this before but it was a while back. Throwing it up again because it's weird but I love it (even though no PJ fan has yet to recognize it! Haha). It's a Klausen drawing from a 10C sticker...

Nice!
I'm thinking about getting that on the back of my neck just below the hair line.
I'm a little afraid it will hurt like a bitch........ that's why I haven't done it yet. I have a few other tattoo's but that spot worries me. :?

I also have seen a hundred and one Alive logos (including on my own boyfriends wrist!) but it didn't stop me going to get it done a week after I saw them for the first time last year, it marked one of the greatest days in my life so far. I found that when i saw them at Wembley, people were stopping me and saying how cool it was, how detailed, it's not proof of your love for the band but it is like universal recognition of being a fan.
I've had comments off people who don't even like or know the band that well, they ask what it is and when I explain, what's commented on is my dedication to the band, afterall a tattoo is a permenant scar that you will carry on your body for the rest of your life and I think that it yeah it might be the most common Pearl Jam tattoo but damn it! if you want it, get it!
I also have another 3 Pearl Jam tattoos planned, a Riot Act skull (again, nice and common!) on my right wrist, a red mosquito on my left wrist and a chest piece with the words 'Given to Fly' incorparated...
Tattoos are a very personal thing, your tattoos should not be dictated by what other people have.
I think it's a good thing that you've chosen to get an Alive logo done.... go for it man, you'll never look back.
