My partner has almost the exact same figures tattooed on him, one on each thigh. He was working at a Chinese Pure Land Buddhism temple where they have incredible statues – these guys guard the gates. They’re supposed to protect one from oneself, sort of. The latest issue of Tattoo Energy has pics of his temple guards, in the Mike Austin interview.
In my opinion, the figures need lots of room and deserve to be seen full-on; where you position them depends on how much body you have! Remember to have your artist copy the mudras exactly. I think these dudes look fantastic as tattoos and carry a lot of signicance as well, good luck.

Those would be cool on the out side of your lower legs. One on the left and one on the right.
The guardians normally stand at a gate to protect the one passing from themselves and others.
So if you see your legs like some sort of gate it would heave more meaning to it than the ribs…
