Not so much bold to me, as masculine. It’s a style I can see a lot of people liking.

Nice, do you have a picture?

Well looks like I found your rib panel tattoo. Nicely done. Probably took a reeally long time.

haha thanks!

Thank you for such supportive feedback!

Libertine: I don’t want any other tattoos. I want this one substantial tattoo and then that’s it. I don’t really like small tattoos. Well not on me anyway. I want to do this in a classy/sophisticated way and a tester is just… not my style.

Thank you for your reply on that! Ya well I’ve read that reactions can sometimes turn up a year or even ten years later than when you got the tattoo. It’s sorta a luck thing; good news is that it’s rare.

I’ve read around… apparently it’s an American thing! Who’da thunk?

It’s going to be a dragon/serpant with cherry blossoms entangled. It’ll be a rib panel and fairly large for my size. (I’m very thin and delicate.) The dragon/serpant will be black and scaley.

You should have the cat outlined or something to make it match. Maybe a little shading..? Lovin’t he Koi!

Looks like a white tiger, not a lion.

I like the flowers on the symbol or I wouldn’t like the symbol. But I’m more modest in that I wouldn’t have put it on my upper back right there. It’s kool how you thought a lot about it before getting it.

I think you should put it on your back. Simply put, if you get a tattoo with dystinct features with a face and details, it should be in a place that will not stretch as much as another places. The ribs on a male change so much; you’ll gain weight, lose it, and it’s supposed to hurt like a bitch on skinny people.

Okay well I’m sort of in the same position. I live with my boyfriend and he’s really conservative. But see, I’m getting this tattoo for myself. It’s my body and I’ll do what I want with it. I’ve been with him off and on for about two years and solid a year and four months; he can handle it and so can your man. Either tell him straight up or wait…[Read more]
