Whoops… should’ve browsed around a bit more before making my first post.

Hi, I’m Nonamys. I’m 29, married, and have a 10 month old son. I got my first (and only) ink about 10 years ago (a small celtic symbol on my lower back). I also have various “basic” piercings – navel, ears, right ear cartilage, and what’s left of a tongue piercing (it’s been out for about 2 years). I enjoy the expansion of getting more body art, but I don’t like to go about it frivolously – it must always be something I *want* to have, and it’s always been about what look I like not what everyone else says. I’ve made a lot of growth & life changes in the past decade, and I think I’ve finally found the perfect design for my next tattoo.

I have designed a tattoo that is very very meaningful for me. I’ve always loved the look of the side tattoo, and I’d ideally like it to go from the top of my hips at the back, and wrap around to terminate just below my right breast.

My one concern is that I am a big woman. I weigh just over 200 lbs. I’ve included a pic of my waistline & the design I’d like (I plan on getting it re-done by someone with actual artistic talent 😉 ). I’d like some “professional” opinions on if this will look ridiculous on me? Also, if you have any information for galleries that might have images of other bigger girls with side tattoos, I would greatly appreciate it. I’ve spent the last few hours googling, and haven’t found anything that matches my “in between” body type – I’m not an athletic build, but I’m not morbidly obese, either.
