Looks clean, like the rose colors and I’m sure the finished product will look just as good.

Yea I have seen it a few times and I think most of the work is awesome, esp the ones by Josh. Keep goin man I really enjoy em, im jealous, you got alot of great artists on ya.

I agree with mrchen, your artist would be your best bet. I like original better then something your would find online.

I like a good quote as long as it is in the right place and in the right font. Everyone is going to have a different opinion and if you wanna do it go for it. No matter what you get someone will always hate/love it. Sorry for your loss as well. Good luck!

That’s awesome man, looks great!

I agree with Gray, it shouldnt make your wallet that much lighter 🙂

Yea doesn’t seem like too much of a difference for me but if the OCD is bugging you then get it done. Don’t think you would want it constantly on your mind.

Cool flower

Looks awesome! Can’t wait to see the final product. 🙂

Welcome to the group, hope you find what your looking for here.

I have also heard of Phil Young and checked out his art a couple times. The man is sick with portraits. Wish I was able to attend the convention.

Yea good call, I’m sure there is something you can find that might portray your idea in a much more peaceful manner.

Haha I agree, that seems too risky to be of the quality I would look for. Would you be paying more if you only made it 8 of the 12 hours, then have to pay extra for the other 4 to finish your work? Sounds like a gamble I wouldn’t take, that’s just me though.

Haha 168. It is never too late to start or continue. Go for it!

I agree completley, unfortunatley majority of the general population are ignorant and will hate you for it. Be careful with that one for sure. I would look for another idea.

Big improvement that’s for sure.

What about on top of your thigh, you could always see it there and have him like he is clawing his way to your knee. I have seen quite a few decent ones that have tails at the right or left part of the top of the back and stretch downward on either side. Just a thought. Good luck!

Your best bet would be to take it to your artist once you find one and let them draw something up for ya. They are the pro and would know best where (placement) and how to draw it to compliment the contours of your body type. Good luck and throw some pics up when and if ya get it done. 🙂

Kat has a good idea, I like a nicely colored chrysanthemum as well. Good luck.

Welcome to the group, and one of my favorite sayings which I find to be remarkably true, welcome to the addiction 😀
