Alright thanks guys, I decided to go with the shaded version. If anyone has suggestions or even better, wants to photoshop up a version using that image it would be great. Once it’s finished and I have a tan Ill post an image 😀

For those wanting to give suggestions I don’t go in for the center piece until the 30th

Lines are on there already and the wings are filled black, just looking for opinions on the center piece

Thanks, I am kind of likeing the shaded one a bit more. Looks a little off cause the black is to dark and the shaded is a different color but with them matching I think it will look better.

I appreciate the suggestions. I did a photo with shading to see what people think. The areas in black are already done on the tattoo so I can not really change them. I saw one post that said what ever I like is good enough.

I do like the design. I told the artist I’d like a Gothic representation of my family crest. And I wanted it to be full back. Reason for that is I have some scarring and redness so I wanted it to help cover it up.

Here is my main concern, I’m starting to think it’s too abstract. People might not be able to tell that it’s a spur with wings and that it will just look like a bunch of lines all over the place. I was thinking coloring the different aspects (Belt,Spur,Wings) might help but every combination I tried looked worse to me.

To me the shaded version doesn’t look much better either. My issue is I’m not an artist so I thought before I get this permanently done I better see if any one has any suggestions on the center piece. I like the design, I’m happy with it, it has the crest and good cover. I just want to get opinions on anyway to make it better or more recognizable. =)

K no color, thats what I was thinking also. Lots of people said shading though. I’m slightly confused on that. The wings on the left and right flank are almost filled now, they are pure black same with the star at the top. Are you guys thinking I should have a lot more negative space for the belt / spur? Solid black won’t look good?

I should have put more thought into it, I got what looked good on paper didnt think how it would look on skin.
