another vote to see a dr. I have friends who tattoo and I still dont go to them, lol. Only very experienced artists for me. I have one guy that I go to that has been doing it for madddd long 20+ years. when I think of ink being on me forever – its a no brainer..

I wont make any Hardly jokes ( I ride a honda sport bike) but – ink looks good!

i lafed out loud

lookin good – cant wait to see it filled in w/ some color

whole shoulder and quarter of sleeve is not a small tribal tattoo. I’m lookin for some cool tribal idears as well. What helped me narrow down designs is thinking of future plans for the area you want inkD. Do you want thick lins or thin lines. Do you want any shading around the tat or just black.

search for a ton of images. save them all to your pc and mix and match what you like – thats what helped me find cool ideas.

hope this helps

adding bits and pieces around the heart does not help the heart. You have to decide weather you want to go with color or not. I’m not a big fan of color but thats just me. A few ideas would be :

1) make it look like its tearing out of your heart for more of a harder/sic look

2) add veins and a lung or something for a organ outside of body look

i duno man – what sort of look were you going for?
