Overworked/overpenetrated. It’ll heal, but it won’t look good.

Make sure it’s thoroughly healed (give it a month) before trying to get it touched up.

Something easily readable from some distance. Stay away from overly complicated fonts. People have a hard time reading them and give up.
Google ‘free fonts’. You’ll go crosseyed looking at the thousands of typefaces available free for the taking. I keep literally hundreds on file for people to look at.

I like that idea. Every time you look at the logo you’ll be reminded of the twelve points. And it won’t seem too busy. Down the road, if it isn’t enough, you can certainly have it expanded to include any representation of the twelve points that you choose…

I think any of us who have sleeves can testify to that. In my own experience, my upper arms are still in good shape ten years down the road while my lower arms, which see a good bit of sun exposure, are faded. If I get a tan during the summer, once vibrant colors and shading can become barely distinguishable.

People have been borrowing tattoo motifs from other cultures since at least the 18th century. British and American sailors visiting the Pacific islands brought home souvenirs of their journeys. That’s how tattooing made its way to Western culture. As has already been mentioned, many westerners wear Japanese-inspired tattoos today, thanks to Sailor Jerry Collins and Ed Hardy. Many westerners wear Polynesian-inspired tattoos thanks in large part to Leo Zulueta.
I myself (a white American) wear a traditional Samoan Pe’a, commemorating my own travels.
Cultural exchange is one of the hallmarks of tattooing today, with ‘foreign’ motifs influencing even ‘working class’ tattoos whether we realize it or not, and as long as you’re not trying to do anything disrespectful, I don’t see a problem with it.
