I saw a “Kenji” tattoo that someone got off a menu at a chinese resturant, it translated to “vegitarian spring -roll”

here’s a couple cool sleeves that might give some inspiration:

that’s a pretty shakey line down the middle of the blade.

My artist once did a rib-piece on a girl that said “pain is weakness leaving the body” she whined about how much it hurt the whole and now she’ll never live it down…everytime she so much as stubs a toe people remind her of her motto.

I would just find a good tattoo artist in your area, bring him the pictures, look at some sleeve pictures online or in a magazine for inspiration and tell him to run with it! That’s what I did and I’m sure the artist would have a lot more fun working on you if he helps design it.
