hello from vancouver, I have been lurking for the last few days and decided I should make an intro post. At 29 I decided to get my first tattoo of my dog about 2 weeks ago. Healing part was ok except for one night while sleeping I subconsciously decided it was a good idea to scratch the living hell out my itchy arm :( In the moment the size looked good but now it feels abit small on my big arms (but on the bright side, room for more ink on that arm). Here it is: French Bulldog by Karl Marks
I would love some opinions on my next tattoo on my other arm (3/4 sleeve)
For years I always wanted a tattoo of the monkey king sun wukong but didn't end up doing it various reasons until I saw a tattoo by Adam Sky and I was floored, it was everything I envisioned and more. http://i.imgur.com/h83x597.jpg
Turns out he is available and I will be flying down for a consultation + first sitting in about a month. I know getting the same design done is a nono so my question is what do you guys think I should do in terms of design. Ideally i would love to have the monkey king and foo dog.
Currently these are the reference materials I will be bringing to the consultation
Monkey king reference material
As for my big arms, should I add in an oni mask inner bicep or would that clash since japanese vs chinese styles
