    Heya!!… I’m new here and um I’m planning on getting my first tattoo soon. This is something I drew a while back and knew that I wanted it as a tattoo, but it never seemed complete. I recently tweaked it up a bit and now I think it’s just about finished. I wanna get it on my upper back right between my shoulder blades. Obviously it needs to be cleaned up lol…but please tell me what you think, and be brutally honest. Oh and I was thinking of putting color into the eyes and the chrysanthemum only…tell me what you think about coloring.

    to me the it looks a bit messy, too much going on in the bottom area and it wouldn’t look nice on skin. try draw it again putting more detail into the hand and a lot less into the bottom part. try some light shading instead all almost black, basicaly i would ligten the whole thing up, rather than that it’s a good idea, nice one can’t wait to c it done

    Thanks Eveline. I agree with you it is too dark. It’s a bit lighter in real life though, it’s just that at this point it’s been it’s been overly processed. I’ve scanned/copied it then took a pic of the copy with my cell phone. But ya…either way it needs to be redone and cleaned up…what do you think about coloring though?

    I think it should be black and gray. The tattoo artists out there can clean it up for you. It’s a nice peice of art though. The shading is a little off but again, that’s not a problem. Just tell your artist you want it touched up and it’ll be great. I love where you want it placed. It’s a great design.

    Here’s a bit of a cleaner version…. it still needs some work. It’s so hard to get it perfectly how u want it 🙁 I changed the flower for a lotus just to see how it would look…not sure if I like it tho

    Looks much better. Curious… what is the hand holding??? May want to make that more elaborate. Hands are harder to draw than most other body parts… your tattoo artist can tweak the hand for you to make it more natural looking.

    I think your artwork is great and a good tattoo artist will be able to finish/tweak your design so its perfect for you – and I think you should leave it black/white.
