I am fair skinned too. Just keep an eye on any thing that you suspect might be a problem. My little bit of cancer was not a mole or nothing, it appeared as a scab, that just never fell off. I need to go back to the dermo and have it looked at, as it no longer scabs, it is just a different texture. Being that you are fair skinned you really should be covered up when going out in the sun. While sunscreen works, it did nothing to stop any of my ink from fading. The first piece that was done was a red Reaper from an OZZY concert shirt. I used to ride a motorcycle to work everyday with a sleeveless shirt. I was getting that thing redone every other year. I have a dozen or so long sleeve shirts that I wear when I go outside. Keep in mind that you can be allergic to some of the inks. I have some brown trees on my one arm and the first time he went to shade them in the next morning was hell. Where ever he put brown was just sort of festering. Switched brands and the problem did not return.
Are you planning on getting sleeved? If so, you might have a bit of a hard time designing the rest of a sleeve around the roadrunner. I used to work with a guy that was sleeved, and there was no theme to them. To me, it was just sort of goofy looking. It is cool that you found a good artist. So many of them are hacks. The guy that did all mine is the owner of his shop. I was amazed at how many people that would come thru the door asking for a job, but did not have any human canvas experience. Some of these people could really draw, but were absolutely horrible with a tattoo gun.
