If its your fist try at this you in for a crazy ride. If you go with a dark stain the tats will be hard to see. You could stain then re-cut the tats and stain lighter or darker. Im no expert buy a long shot. There are guys that have this stain work down and will give you some good advice. Mix your stain all you want. Best advice i can give is get the basic idea and go for it that is the best way i have been able to lean.
