Take a photo of something you think would make a good tattoo. It can anything except and actual tattoo.

Advanced editing

I love this... only IF... you make it Expert Editing and change it to make us make it a tattoo on someone!

So much fun!

I'm not quite sure I understand... isn't this taking a picture of artwork? Or are you thinking 3 dimensional things, like Lydia's frog, but turned two dimensional?

Sorry to be dense. I'm not on my game tonight. :)

It's to take a photo of something that would make a great tattoo.

Not existing artwork, as you are not photographing a tattoo itself, but an object or subject that you can envision as being a good tattoo.

"Existing Artwork" is ONLY relevant in the rules, if it's "photorealistic" artwork and it's not presented clearly AS artwork.

Originally posted by Advanced Editing Rules:
You may include existing artwork in your entry, but photo-realistic artwork such as printed photos, monitor images or realistic illustrations must either be clearly presented as artwork or used only as a minor supporting element. Using photo-realistic artwork to simulate physical objects or backgrounds that provide the primary impact of an entry will be grounds for disqualification.

So there's nothing to worry about there, even if you DID photograph an actual tattoo.

Not really, because the VOTERS will be deciding what makes an interesting potential tattoo, and shooters will have to bear this in mind.

Not at all. Look through the Free Studies and tell me that everything there would make a good tattoo. I doubt you can. And, like Robert said, the real challenge is not only shooting what you think would make a good tattoo, but what the majority of the voters will also.
