Need conceptual assistance

[flipcrab85]

This what I've got going on with the front of my leg. I'm planning to do the kneecap next. Was thinking an animal head. But after consulting with my artist, he recommended to do something else because the head would run into the torch to maintain the spacing. I was thinking to possibly go with a crab or a moth. With the moth, if needed, could intersect with the torch making it one piece. Due to the commonality of moths and light. Just looking for any other ideas (no snakes or skulls). Otherwise open 

TIA

Perfect place for a death head moth IMHO.

Ended up going with a mandala over the knee.  Did the skin rip along the bottom because my other piece came up too high to allow for the full circle.

Latest addition I've put through the back of the knee. I'm having trouble coming up with ideas for the thigh area. I want to do rather large pieces, like nearly double the size of the stuff on my lower leg. I am just coming to a dead end. Don't really care what, just not a fan of the "dark" imagery i.e. snakes, skulls and such. Any ideas?

Can’t go wrong with tigers and panthers. The bigger the better.

Latest additions to the thigh. Just got inner thigh and hammy area to have the bulk done. Really like the way these turned out!

 

[SStu]

those are both great pieces, and done well!

Thanks!

This is what I've got going on as of now. I could use some ideas,  I've two appointments coming up in the next few weeks and wanting to get something to finish up the inner thigh and the hamstring area. Looking for some direction on what would work well. Thanks in advance!

Panther, Tiger head, lady head, anything traditional 

[flipcrab85]

Is it strange to have repetitive articles on the same limb? I.e. two lady faces or two tigers?

[SStu]

certainly not. especially from artists with distinctly different styles.

There is so much traditional to choose from. I have a leg covered in it. Find a great artist and discuss it with him.

What I ended up with on the inner thigh. Hamstring scorpion and rose in two weeks!
