The only issue I have with your reasoning is that a forearm tattoo with the amount of elements (and resulting size) that you wanted will inevitably end up crossing onto the top of your forearm.

just got an idea…

what would you guys think of the robin holding a thorny black rose with its beak?

thanks for the replies!

ok so it’s not girly…apparently that was just me being paranoid since it’s going on my forearm.

i agree with those who say that the bird could be better. not sure if i’m going with a robin but if i do, it’ll be altered.

i’ve thought about it and i don’t think i could go with a crow. the piece is enhanced by the red…[Read more]
