First off, I am new here so hello 😀

I am in the process of completing my sleeve on my right arm which has another 3-4 few hour sessions left but I am starting to piece together the theme for my left arm and while I kinda know the “theme” I want to do it in, its kind of hard to think exactly what kind of art to go with.

I have grown up my whole life obsessed with Philadelphia. The city, the sports….everything. I bleed Eagles green and Phillies Blue & Red as well as root on the Flyers/Sixers.

So basically I’d like to do my right arm in the theme of Philadelphia but I am having trouble come up with ideas. I’d like to incorporate the liberty bell in there of course and while I am a huge sports fan, I don’t want to put the teams “official” logos on my arm as thats never been my thing. I want my own art not some logo for the Eagles per say.

I really was hoping to kind of do my arm in the whole sailor jerry/traditional type art pieces pieced out all over my arm with a fill in back ground which I can figure out later but as far as this traditional stuff goes, I haven’t been able to find any sports related type pieces in that type of art style.

I have a pretty good artist I go to and I feel like he’d be able to throw in his .02 on it but I’d like to be able to go in there with some good ideas and we can piece it all together rather than not have anything, ya know?

If anybody could maybe help me with some example pieces or some general ideas as far as a Philadelphia related ink piece or some traditional type sports art…..just any sort of idea at all really, I would GREATLY appreciate it.

Thank You 🙂

I look forward to being a regular poster more often now that I have stumbled across the site….
