Thanks for all your replies so far.

Its more the interpretation of the lyric rather than any particular love for the Beatles. I do like the picture though, could be a nice center piece, or at least some kind of variation.

If i kept the words they would be subtle and semi hidden within the image. That being said, i have wondered if they would be too ‘cheesy’.

I’m from Nottingham, so if you have any suggestion of good artists around the area i’d love to know. I’ve found a guy call Tim Croke from SecondSkin in Derby who i’m considering. His work looks really good to me. What do you guys think?

I like the idea GrayCatLove, though I think i’d like a bit more balance between the good stuff and bad stuff. I’m wondering whether it might look good to split a full sleeve, top half is bad stuff, bottom is good stuff with some bridging imagery between?
