What a t***.
I don't believe in getting portraits of people either I think it's a bit bizarre - like that Sir Bob one someone got that was in the paper...
Not a fan of them myself either. What you're planning on getting done sounds spot on though, I think it'll look awesome when it's done.
Cheers, I reckon it'll cost about £100 - £200 so I doubt I'll be getting it done for some time....
I wouldn't say that's too bad really as I'm guessing with it being across your back it'll be a decent size. The quote I'd opt for personally would be "A love that burns within and will never fade".
