i hope by you saying your as white as can be you mean your the colour of milk and not that you have any racist views because that wont fly well here .
we have a good mix of people here !!
2nd
i like the design idea but i would get your tattooist to tidy it up for you !
and 3rd
i personally think it would work better as a back or rib tattoo .
if the tree wraps around you to much it will not look like a tree and will just look like an average piece of tribal
Of course i’m not being racist… im the most un-racist person you’ll ever meet, i was just giving you an idea of my skin color…
These are just preliminary sketches, each one was just drawn in 15 minutes or so, so i would probably tidy it up a bit, then have the tattoo artist do the same…
Good call on it not looking like a tree if it wraps too much… i hadn’t really considered that. I could consider getting it on my back or side… i guess i liked the idea of my arm because it might get to peak out from under a t-shirt once in a while… i really don’t go totally shirtless all that often.
Thanks for the input!

Hi and welcome
To translate the tree to tattoo (which will work very nicely) you will need to enlarge the leaves to stop them from becoming ink blobs in years to come.
Also that piece will not sit well on an arm – unless you have huge arms – as it will look tribal-esque in appearance.
My other suggestion is entwine the trunks a little more to give them more of a celtic feel it will look a lot better.

Again thanks for the input…
What about if i reduced the size a bit so that it would fit on my arm? Would it still come off as tribal looking you think? would it be as cool a bit smaller?
Good call on tangling the roots a bit more… i’ll try that in some of my next sketches.
As for the leaves being ink blobs… thats really what they are… they arent really leaf shaped… they are just the suggestion of leaves. i’ll try going a little bigger with them maybe.
