Hello! I am brand new to this community, and tattoos in general (acquired my first one two months ago!). I will probably have lots of questions (some will probably be obvious 😮 ), but am eager to listen and learn from you all. 🙂
I am in the process of planning my next tattoo; I have wanted this particular design for over 3 years now, but I have also worried as to how well it would transfer as a tattoo. I want to get the Black Stallion logo; still undecided on placement, but I’m thinking either wrist, foot, ankle or somewhere on my back. I’m mostly worried that because it is such a big “block” of black, with all the wisps, and also because I do not want it to be that large, that it might bleed and turn into a big “blob” years down the road. What do you think? Would it help if it was placed somewhere that has a lesser chance of stretching (ie: hip, stomach)?
I don’t know how to add pictures, but you can find the design I want here:

Thank you so much in advance!
Location won’t really matter too much, if you have it done in solid black it will look like a blob no matter where it is. No offense but for something you’ve been thinking of for 3 years I would think you could come up with a more creative design, at least let a competent artist do something with it to make it more “tattooable.”
I haven’t even talked with a tattoo artist about it yet, as I haven’t got that far. 😉 Thanks for your opinion. 🙂
Have you thought about having it shaded so it’s not solid black? You could still have the scribbly off bit but add more depth to it with shading..
I think also places like your feet, wrists or ankle would be too small for this too look really cool, I’d suggest shoulder blade or ribs or calves – a flat enough area for the design to sit well on.
ah dude, as a serious horse lover, black stallion lover and particularly fresian horse lover ~(which he’s technically not but they’re so goddammed beautiful!) i would say there are so many better ways to get a horse tattoo! if you want a horse that bad i would get a proper portrait style, something like the logo will just not translate well at all. my advice, if you want a small tattoo get something else, but if you’re happy to go big, get a proper portrait, it’ll look frickin sweet! 😀
