Are you looking to use the same poison ivy theme? I think you have a great idea – just need to have your artist finalize it.

Personally, I like the idea. But, the key is that it is what you want and what makes you happy. Your artist can refine it to be exactly what you want.

I just recently completed my first tattoo. Some people consider it outdated – but it is a design that spoke to me and represents what I wanted it to say about me as a person. If the design is what speaks to you, then go for it!

The design I chose has some tribal lines in it. To many, tribal is considered to be old hat….but not old hat enough to be “traditional.” 🙂 The only one, though, who has to be content with it is me…and I love the result.

Welcome to the forum.

Funny your handle is “Poison Ivy”. My left leg is going to be a tree trunk with bright green poison ivy growing up the tree.

The droplets on the side are honey and papaya juice from the existing honey bee tattoo.
Lichen and moss will be between my toes, and around the roots. Perhaps a little water like I’m walking along a stream.

I’m planing to start it in mid to late summer. Guerrilla Tattoo’s in Shippensburg, PA will be doing it.
I plan on one session a month til its done. It will be my whole leg.

I see the picture in your album. Did you draw that?

Yes. I’ve been doodling and drawing since I very young. It got me into a bunch of trouble in grade school.

I went to school for horticulture. Thus my interest in flowers, and I did a lot of landscape designs freehand before computers took over.

Keep us posted on what you get done.
