I love this image; do you think it would translate well into a tattoo and do you think it looks better in colour or B&W (the artist has both versions on the link)
Colour (but in blue – I’m not a red person)

Black & White

Other issue is that I have a small tattoo on my left shoulder so it couldn’t go horizontally, but I think if it was put at an angle, as if it’s flying along a cliff face instead of a raging inferno.
Hi
I would def go colour and have you considered using the boldness of the new ink to cover the old piece for a better fit?
I am just thinking if you angle it you may need to shift the head and neck of the dragon to the side and lower more so it does not seem out of proportion.
Take Care

Interesting point about getting the old one covered, which I’d not considered tbh. I’ll have to talk to the artist about that when I locate one to do it. The only slight hitch is that I had my hubby’s name added to it before I got married and this latest tattoo will be his 10th anniversary present to me so seems a little rude to get the original covered up. It does sound like a good excuse to get another tattoo later though 😀
I also had the same concern about the head/neck if the design was angled – I think there needs to be a little bit more movement in the head anyway as from a distance it may become submerged into the body if you know what I mean.
My head tells me the red looks cool, but I am such a blue girl at heart so that’s something I may have to struggle over :p
