When I think of Vancouver BC I think of a bum taking a shit in a park. Thats because that is what I saw when I was there.

That’s it? You didn’t see anything else while you were there? :confused:

Looking good pal! Nice start. Will be great with more detail. I think this would be a good sketch to give to an artist and then let him/her work up a really SICK design from there.

Its possible that some Hawaiian or Maori inspired designs could work with the ink you already have there. It would mostly like mean going fairly big, at least half sleeve and shoulder/chest. Check out the tribal tattoo forum, you might get some ideas from there.

Another idea might be a biomech style…

Well, in fact, it can have more than one meaning in English as well.

This piece would probably look way better with colour, as long as the artist who did the colour was skilled and experienced.

I’d say think about it a bit more. That’s good tattoo real estate there and you could do so much more with your idea if you went for a design that embodied the concept rather than just a word, or, alternately, as was already suggested, go small and discrete somewhere else on your body.

So when you think back to the time when you lived in Vancouver what aspects of the city stand out for you?

If your long term goal is get a full sleeve then it would be wonderful if you could plan the whole piece at once and then if you could only afford to do a little at a time maybe consult with the artist as to how best to go about that.

I did one half sleeve, starting with a band and adding on as I wanted more but it was tough to make anything work really well with a band already in place. When I did the full sleeve, much later, it was exciting to see the artist work with the entire limb and not have the flow of the piece obstructed by the limitations of an earlier piece.

You seem like such a tattoo enthusiast and you are so encouraging to others who are trying to get the best body art possible. I think it would be great to see you work out your own unique design such that you really enjoy the full impact of a creative and well executed sleeve.

I don’t have to remind you that there’s tons of resources for design ideas on the net and loads of folks willing to help and support you right here on this forum.

Take your time; think it through…the journey is as much fun as the destination.

Why did you write the text in English if you are Czech?:confused:

Have you considered designing a piece that represents them or reminds you of them every time you see it? That would, IMHO, be more creative, more subtle and more private. Think of something symbolic or an image that each of them really likes. Then think of some background to place the images in or let a good artist take the ideas forward for you.

I would wait a bit with the wrist piece, until you’ve figured out whether or not you want to fix/cover/update your right sleeve. Perhaps if you took your sleeve to someone like Tim Pangburn, he might enjoy covering it up with a similar (but better) design, and he would almost certainly want to go further down to help his own piece flow and cover better. Getting something down below now might actually hurt your chances for a cover-up.

ah, so simple…to vote .. thanks.:p

Arni, that’s a really good point about waiting a bit until I’ve decided about the half sleeve. At first I didn’t think anyone could or would want to do much with the existing ink but now I am discovering that there are artists, like Tim and some closer to home, that actually enjoy the challenge or coverups and reinking. It would be great to get the old piece improved and I’d have no problem extending it to add to the flow, in fact that would probably be an better way to use that skin real estate.

Thanks for your comments guys.:)

Albert I really like your sleeve. It is neat to see the photos showing how it developed. The design looks original and creative.

BTW, I was going to place some votes on your photos but still am not sure how that’s done. 😮

Take care of yourself, it takes a long time to get over a loss like this. But what a wonderful way to remember your grandmother with a fine sleeve like yours.

So meaningful…I love your choice of symbols…

and the 2, 14 … the date of her passing?

Would you mind sharing what some of the elements in the sleeve symbolize in relation to your grandma?

I decided on a sleeve as a tribute to my Mom and all the main aspects relate directly to her.
