I had an idea of a vine that ran along my body with simple symbols of things that I feel have defined me over the years sprouting off it. The vine also appeals to me since I figured I could add new symbols to it as they became important to me.
I’ve been working on some designs for the symbols but honestly don’t know how good or effective they’d be as tattoos and hope I can get some advice here.
I’m not sure I can actually afford the whole vine (I plan to get this done while I’m on vacation in the states) so I’m also thinking about getting the symbols alone on parts of my body I haven’t decided on yet. 🙂
I’d like to get one of the following, but haven’t decided which yet:
I’ve been told the silhouette’s too detailed, but really like it and hope an artist could make it work somehow.
Hi
I think one main problem with the tree might be that as time goes on the top will become a big blob of black. I’m not an expert on the body but seems like alot of black in a small area.
Otherwise I really like the design and would look nice on the back of the neck, calf, ribs right under your armpit or middle of shoulders on your back.
Cheers

Thanks man. I hadn’t thought about how it might change with age. I do like the design, so I’ll show it to the artist and see what they can do to it.
I hadn’t considered my calf as a place to put it at all. I had been thinking ribs but the back’s sort of appealing to me now.
Thanks for the help, Marcus.
