There is no way it’ll look anything like leopard print. Maybe in the sketch it does, but when it’s actually tattoo’d it wont look anything like it. I think it’s a good idea.
No, I know what it’s supposed to be – I just quoted someone too fast. I think the blue ringed octopus is beautiful, but I’m saying that it might end up looking like blue lepoard spots or something. To most people.
PS. I’m not a guy. I’m a hot chick too! 😎
I do not see the resemblance anywhere.
i get what your saying – i am going to get my husband to paint a section on so i can see a bit better how the print will look on my figure. close up and from the other side of the room , also will help determine the size of the rings . i have an alternative idea but it is less unique in that is is a swirling pattern has a different attitude all together- i like both ideas and am short a body so will have to decide – i think if it works out tho i would love the print.
i hope that the fact they are even and complete circles in each with two shades rather than the mottles effect will make it obvious they aren’t leopard print
more development –
1) this is done in water colour
2) i need to work on the shading component and decide weather or not would actually have it
3) final design isn’t going on my arm at all
4) obviously a tattoo artist will do a better job in general
ok so just did this to clear up what i am thinking it will look like actually on the skin , rather than drawn on a sketched figure or PS’d on at a distance.
does it just look like blue leopard print or in general just shit when translated from a drawing to work on skin
I was thinking rings like this would be sharp, and if you make them the extremely varied sizes as in your sketch, I think it would look killer.
I guess that’s what you have, just a much more vibrant blue.
unfortunately there is now way of actually having the luminescence in the colour as the actual animal does
basically in the darkest sections there will be larger and darker rings , or brighter , and as the pattern fades out in its section the colour will dull and lighten and the rings get smaller
all rings will have a darker outline ring and a slightly thicker bright blue inner ring and the darkest might also have the plumby colour shading around them also

Well, you can’t get actual luminescence without going to a black light ink, but a good artist with the right ink could still get it pretty close, I believe.
and so i wouldn’t look like a frostbitten leopard or like i am out of Avatar
Frost bitten leopard. 😀 That’s a good one, your husband come up with that?
WTF? lol no – i’m one of those insane new fangled women who can think for them self .
No leopard print, no, but that does look like shit.
any input on how you’d fix it
