Hi Paul,

Welcome to the forum.

I like the idea behind your tattoo but to be honest this is not something I like. Tribal has gone out of style like the Macarena, and for good reason.

At the end of the day it’s your body and it should be something you really love, but there’s so many great artists out there you could get an amazing piece for the same price.

I hope this helps mate.

Maybe keep the same sort of theme, but in a more natural, silhouetted kind of way?
As above though, it’s your body and if that’s what you want, go for it.
FWIW I actually quite like it, but wouldn’t want to “waste” the skin on a design that could (in my opinion) be a lot more interesting.

Good luck, let us know what you decide

I have to agree with the others I really don’t like tribal but if it is what you want go for it:)

As far as tribal goes the design is better than average I would say.

You don’t have to get colour, you could get a B/G piece.

Welcome. Congratulations on coming up with the design in the first place. From someone who doesn’t have any artistic ability what so ever, I am impressed that you were able to turn your thoughts into this. I don’t really like it as a tattoo though (but as everyone has said we aren’t the one’s wearing it).
What about turning it into a non tribal family shield / crest in B&G? There was a very good but very intricate one on here a while back. Just a thought. Good luck.

I kind of like it, but I wouldn’t personally get it inked on me. Ultimately, it’s your body and your choice. Sit on it for 6 months and if you still love it, then do it.
