Probably, but I'll get it touched up.

Star is Rage Against The Machine?
Circle thing is naruto?

Star is my thing, it's going on my album cover and I've drawn them while doodling my whole life

Circle thing is the base Sharingan from Naruto

Been thinking of getting a half sleeve for a while, top half on probably my left arm. I quite like the Japanese dragon style idea, anyone got any good designs or ideas?

Thanks.

Just got it done, finally. Looks a little off in the photos but the lines are perfect! Not bad for 60 quid

Sha..Sharingan? roffle

Your best bet would be to look at the portfolios of the artists you like, or simply use Google, there are copious amounts of ideas out there. Then see if they can do a variation of the design you find and not just a straight up copy. It's best to find an artist you fully trust (obvious I know), then you can give them free reign over it after giving them some guidelines and a good idea of what you like.

Clean.

I like the black outlines they seem very well done.

Neoni · 24 Apr 2013 at 18:02

i must update you guys with some of my ink soon!

I must actually finish mine! A half finished sleeve looks dull and uninteresting.

Just booked in my next tattoo for the end of May. Full sleeve! Currently putting together a pinterest board to show the tattoo artist what I am aiming for and then he'll draw me up some designs

Just a quick one, would you have a band's logo tattooed on you if you REALLY ******* loved the band?

I am asking because I am getting the Rammstein logo on my forearm/wrist when I get paid...

haz_pro · 10 May 2013 at 21:31

No, but why wait til you get paid any way, use your lotto winnings surely?

All went bye bye when I won

It is also a treat to myself for finally getting a job again

Well, the tattoo this year, and in the pipe-line, trip to Iceland and another tattoo in Q1 2014

nemtizz · 10 May 2013 at 23:59

Get something original instead of their logo, lyrics perhaps? Or maybe a different rendition of the logo and not a straight up copy.

I probably wouldn't but I don't like one band enough to make the effort!

There's some lovely tattoo's in here!

helpimcrap · 13 May 2013 at 21:11

6hrs later - it's not finished yet and those hrs include the outline going up to my shoulder. Should be finished in a few weeks. Not a very good pic but looks awesome in the flesh i think!

Also where the metal bit is near the elbow i have titanium plates in there too.
