Thinking about getting ink!

Matblack · 22-09-2010, 20:13

Yep, actually giving it some serious consideration. Never really had an idea before now, but now I do.

I'd like a monkey!

I've was originally thinking of something very stylised ala

However having watch a few episodes of London Ink I'm wondering if something more photo realistic wouldn't be better

I like the photo above and have this idea about a monkey with their arms and legs wrapped around my upper arm as if it were climbing a tree with their face turned so that it can be seen. I've been looking for a photo but I can't see one which shows what I mean

.

I also think I'd like his little tail droping down below the t-shirt line as a teaser but so it looks sublte when I roll my sleeves up on a shirt.

What does the internet think? Does my idea make sense?

Personally, I think a stylised one will date better. I know a couple of people who have had realistic big cats done on their arms and it just doesn't quite sit right with me.

An aztec or cave painting monkey would look cool though.

Draw it on using a biro and see what you think :P

Or maybe try henna.

Problem is a draw like a spastic :/

Join the club! If you are anything like me then try drawing a cat climbing up your arm, and it should come out just like a monkey...

Get the monkey on your knob and then get your knob done like a banana.

Despite the initial reception I thought I would share with you the style I am now thinking of. Without the cord running down the centre!
