Lehi September 18th then a flight to Austin to get laced up by Ben Siebert. He's an absolute beast thats blowing the doors off daily.

One thing not to worry about is "being unique"....unless you or your artist just rips off another persons work, your tattoo will be unique. The classics are the classics for a reason. Have you considered a Battle Royale? A bit of a different take on the meanings but could be cool (do an internet search). Or if you are religious, maybe a Rock of Ages. I am throwing some classic ideas out just for fun. What style are you considering?

Hey thanks for de advice so far. 🙂 I got an local artist here (im in Finland) we discussed this matter when i booked for the tattoo, and we will make plans before starting so the issue of "too much text" is known, she had some idea and was going to make a sketch for me. I would've been worried if that topic wouldn't have came up here 😄 I trust her professionalism (is that a word? 😄) Someone said the image should resonate to me, and i totally agree. 🙂 Fact is, asking someone "what tattoo should i get" should be answered -> None if you don't know what you want.. I actually had an Eagle, Lion and a Wolf in mind, Just has to do the research of which one truly pictures my personality most. Then again everybody has those, and i really would want something unique 🙂 Well see about the location, maybe it will be a full back tattoo, And hey, bring on all Roses and Rice Thats why im asking questions here , none offence taken 🙂

just gotta go back and get another!

totally ! I would love to get something from Em too.

Em is amazing. I'd love to get something from here. Also BJ Betts and Big Meas (if you are in the States).

if you are near Los Angeles or near a convention she is attending ,this lady KILLS lettering & B&G IMO, https://www.instagram.com/emscottla/?hl=en

As @Gingerninja and @SStu said, you need to get someone who just kills text or it's going to look like crap. Unless you are getting that image you showed on your back, it's waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. Even then, that's a lot of fine detail going on. I doubt that would look good wrapped around your arm and should and down to the elbow. I recommend doing a lot more research. You can google tattoo image text to see what other people are doing. Not to rain on your parade, but this project just has disappointment written all over it. I would make sure your artist has something for you to look at before you start, this isn't something you can wing and freehand at the last minute. Good luck.

I am less than two months out from Rubendall to work on my right leg. No real plan...pretty much gonna turn him lose.

Yeah, there is alot of historical threads on same/similar topic - but if you're set on text then the real question is are you capable of picking a serious artist. Who've you got? The standard response to the image part of the question = It's not about expressing to strangers what your thought or emotion is - it's about picking an image that resonates with YOU.

Hey Kaizu, Welcome. Here's my two cents and I'm not trying to be a downer, so please take my opinion in the right way. This is way too much. Unless you have someone who KILLS lettering, you won't be happy. Has your artist seem your idea? I would invite you to consider going with maybe one or two of those words that mean the most then put the rest of the meaning into an image. Think about why those words resonate with you and how you landed on this idea. Cheers!

Here are 5 of the 7 I got last week. Unfortunately, that rose isn't gonna be that pretty once she finally heals lol. Looking rougher than hell right now. Will upload some pics of other two once I take some.

Just booked with Grez on November 30. I'm actually starting to think I may go a touch bigger, so may try and get in a few days in January or February.

Haha, man. Watching @Bearcat78 get after it was truly something. After I got my stomach done, I was cringing at the thought of getting tattooed again. Impressive, sir.

Pharoah's Cats by Scott Sylvia. Four hour one shot

Not the best photos due to lighting and wrapping but to give you an idea!
