.Haha thats great! Thanks! . Was thinking stretching it out like that.
I think if you do the whole tattoo black and white and only the sign and the lanes in yellow.

Great idea. Have a couple fresh sprouts and 2 or 3 strong leaves. Even though there are bumps in the road, life goes on and things always get better. Love it. :thumbup: I think still black and white, but with just a hint of green color. Still not decided if I want some faint color in the sign or not yet.I like the idea. But looking at picture I fell like going through a rough path of life. I'll put one or just very few green leaf near the top of the tree just to put some life into it. Kind of meaning that even through very rough time, there's always hope for better outcome from bad moments.
And maybe it's just me, but I fell better with the tree on the left side...
Looking good, can't wait to see the final result. I like to help but I'm nothing of a artist...
This is tough. I wanna to get 2 more.. My wife doesn't wanna, but since is gonna have something related to my kids she is down for it.I got ink too... I want another one on my back but my wife is totally against it! I'll keep working on it...lol
.My other worry is the whole job thing... I know I can cover with long sleeve shirts, but summer gets fairly hot. I would be pretty upset if it came between me and a job. Not sure where else it would look good besides my arm. My wife really wants it there too. It seems she wants it visible while out in just a short sleeve shirt.
I know they would not care at my current job. Just not sure about down the road..
Best thing to do is ask your boss. Times have changed and tattoos are a not big deal anymore. You may ask him and he will high five you, turn around and show you his full back yakuza tattoo.

Best piece of advice I have for you is, don't ask anyone here. Find yourself an excellent tattoo artist, whose style is in line with the sort of style you desire, and present your ideas to him (her) to design. Even if the ideal artists is in another state and you have to travel...worth it.
A top notch tattoo artist will design the art so it adapts best to a tattoo right off the bat. If you have someone here start drawing or photoshopping you'll fall in love with that and it might not make for a good tattoo. Then you get disappointed, and are forced to start compromising right before your appointment.
So before you start designing or seeking designs, find your ideal artist first. Let HIM tell you what can and can't be done. A top notch tattoo artist can work miracles. Fine details can look great if a top notch artist does the work, whereas a lesser artist might not be able to do it at all. Tattooing is NOT like drawing...totally different medium. One does not neccesarily translate to the other.
Buy some tat magazines, start searching the Googles etc. Me, I'd fly across the country for the perfect tattoo by the perfect artist. It's life long.
So IMO, you're going about it the wrong way. Come up with the concepts and basic mando design elements yourself, but for best results let the best artist whose style and vision inspires you translate your meaning into the perfect tat.
haha nice.I hate to do this, but I was listening to music earlier, and dont get mad lol, but this video reminded me of your tattoo idea.I think it was the picture mixed with the last 2 minutes of lyrics.
But I thought id post it since your going to have plenty of time to dwell on your tat

Damn that came out insanely good.All done! Freaking love it. Came out exactly how I wanted it. We really emphasised the road sign as the 27 was the main meaning I wanted. 4 1/2 hours straight. Only (2) 5 minute breaks. Felt like a freaking belt sander haha. The collar bone and chest area hurt the worst. I love how it goes up and over my shoulder onto my chest. Sorry this is the only pic I snapped before she wrapped me all up. But I am 100% happy with it.
Its a hell of a FIRST tattoo!!!!
