hi there

I design tattoos and to be honest if i was going to do it i would do it with pencil not using photo shop also the image is a flat image of your arm and although putting tattoos on ya arm with photoshop is easy to add to a existing one of that size and to get a good look then for a tattoo artist to interprate that idea to ya arm for real well its just probably the wrong way to go about it IMO.

If i was you i would go to a tattoo artist and get him to trace your arm and do the design him self, any tattoo artist that considers him self a good tattoo artist will be happy to do it most will also come up with a sitting scedual so it does not cost you alot all at 1 time, it should be relativly easy your design is very simple and not much to it even for its large size.

For some ideas id be happy to help i would get the rest of the sleeve made with wispy clouds and if possabe at the front of your arm a cool looking angel i know that all sounds a little girly but ya can get some great manly angel designs. or get the inside of a cathidral tattood behing the cross not as dark but light as if its in the background ive seen many cathidral tattoos that absolutly amazing. i cant see you fitting that image in to much else.

hi calum

The problem with tattoo designing is what looks good and fits on paper does not always do the same on your arm, have you ever watched a tattoo show where they trace the size of the arm and then put lines where you have muscle defanition i can easily do a design on the flat for you but i know 100% then even though it looks good and lines up on the flat it will look off on the arm thats the reason why any good tattoo artist will always do a sleeve as they go mostly free hand (unless the sleeve is made up of indevidual elimants) i would take my first advice if i was you mate.

Its dull and boring art you've got. Dude my bro had this old tattoo around 5 years and he just had it overlapped with new designed tattoo all around his upper arm. The artist used this new colored ink, darker and looks so lively and cool.

Hi sorry mate to say his work is dull and boring is just a little rude it may not be that to him tattoos are a personal choice and the fact he designed it him self makes it special. Around here we post if we can help constructivly other wise we don't post

Not trying to be rude I just think help is better than insulting even if you never meant it that way
