The leopard print area you are talking about is the start of a nebula:

The easiest way to explain the background is that it represents the cycle of life on a cosmic scale. Eventually when its done it will have forms of all of the the stages of life:

I have been looking at a lot of the picture Hubble has sent back, and I think I found a background that would work:

I wonder what they would say about me being a 20 year old college student who’s addicted, and has a family that doesn’t care/ won’t disown him and hasn’t gone broke….

Im sorry sir but we aren’t looking for someone so, how do we say it? Boring and normal, we want someone crazy, and more of a failure. 😀

18 is perfectly fine, you can get all sorts of invasive plastic surgery once you turn 18, so just because this type of “surgery” is more visable why would you make a special rule for tattoo’s.

Depending on how the marks are laid out, you could use them as a part of the tattoo instead of just hiding them. If they are more spread out instead of a lot of lines right on top of each other you could create a prison within yourself tattoo. It could depict yourself as some sort of demon like thing (not like hey thats you hiding in there) being…[Read more]

Just so you know, that crane is a gray crowned crane from south africa.

I dont know if that would change anything about what you want, but you could go with an African Savannah theme, or go back to the japanese idea and have a crane wading through a Japanese garden/ koi pond.

For some reason i am the complete opposite. I went in for a full day appointment to design and start my dragon without having anything to eat at all. I took food and drinks, i just never felt the need to eat anything, and all i had during the entire day, and 8 hours process of designing and getting it was like 16 ounces of this tea stuff.

I only have one, but it covers a wide area on my back.

Least would be center back of ribcage under shoulder blade- after single needle right on my spine, that area just felt real nice.

Worst was kidney area with phoenix tail, it may have been the fact that there are like 20 lines per inch for tail detail but that was the most brutal.
