Neil, getting a tattoo is not something to be taken lightly, I have always wanted a deer tattoo but I'm not allowed! I have a book called 'Open Season' by Roger McPhaill, who is, in my opinion the best wildlife artist working in Britain today. There are several deer sketches in it that may be suitable to copy (no idea of the copyright implications?) Even if you don't copy one directly, they would be useful to show to the tattoo artist to help them get a feel for the animals. If you are serious about getting it done I would be happy to post you my copy of the book on loan as long as I got it back. JC
