Hi, its my first post so a brief introduction…21 years old, one tattoo on my ring finger and one on my shoulder. Looking forward to learning more on these forums.
So I’m looking to incorporate what I have into a half sleeve.
I am a big fan of this piece and would like to work it in somehow, but if it won’t look right I’ll wait on it:
I am also not really looking for a lot of color, black and red would be ideal but I’m open to suggestions, even if it involves modifying the existing tattoo a bit.
I appreciate any input, thanks.
Also, sorry if this is in the wrong section.
That first one looks kinda like a Grenade. Am I correct? It would be an odd piece, 2 military men, and a grenade with a peace symbol.
It is a grenade, copied from this:
It does kind of clash now that you mention it. I was just wondering what some of the other fourm members might do with a piece like this. I didn’t have my heart set on getting the military/peace symbol piece worked in necessarily, but it could also give an idea of the styles I like.
Hi
The work is inspired by Banksy a brit street/graffitti artist who in my opinion is shit hot in modern art.
I always like the twist that he puts on situations and think it would make a fine addition.
If you want to make your shoulder tatt more in tune you can always add a small touch of floral (petals or single flower) to the grenade.
I like it anyhow.

Sorry, I didn’t mean it to sound as if I didn’t like the idea. I personally like it! It’s different. It fits to the idea, that many soldiers are in truth fighting for peace. Slapping some floral in it would also be a nice touch. Bring out the peaceful side to it.
Thanks for the input from everyone, I’m just looking for some ideas to throw at the artist I’ll be going to.
BTW Sherav, I’m a huge Banksy fan, I would get all of his pieces tattooed if I could.
we have a guy here that had a banksy tattoo and it came out real nice .
i like the idea of your tattoo and if its done by the right artist it will make a cool half sleeve .
i also think it will tie in with your grenade tattoo if you add flowers , maybe sticking out of the top :rolleyes:

I’m glad to hear that it will tie in nicely :). Where do you suggest I begin looking for floral designs (sorry, still new).
where are you from , im sure someone where will know which direction to point you in towards a good artist 😉
I’m in central New Jersey. I guess I’m just a bit worried that it will look thrown together and not flow correctly.
sorry i cant help out im from the sunny uk :rolleyes:
i dont really know any US artists
Hi
Might be a bit of a travel I rang a friend who recommends Black Work Tattoo (portrait specialists)
He says they have quite a few in and around New Jersey and majority of them are very good.
I had a quick browse of their main site and liked what I saw.
Might help.
Also on the floral you just need to have a few petals floating down from the top of the grenade and maybe a single rose/orchid/tulip wrapping around it or at the bottom then the flow will be there.

Thanks for all the help I’m getting in this thread,and Sherav their locations aren’t far from me at all, I’ll definitely look into them.
