I think it looks great how it is. Particularly since it's in the 'Sailor Jerry' style, which normally doesn't features tonnes of complex shading and 'out there' colour choices. Take the advice of your tattoo :) even though it wasn't a fail by any means (as i mentioned, it looks great) Get more, try different styles, build around it :) You mentioned that the text was part of a longer quote. I thought it might be cool to have a sleeve based off of that saying and have different parts relating to the different parts of the quote. Just an idea :)

IT says that the images have been removed. I'm not sure if that was intentional.

Here a few things I found, but I'm not sure if it's 100% what you were thinking of. A few of them are a bit too 'Sailor Jerry' for what i think you have in mind. http://24.media.tumblr.com/37d63ca50e711c1bca78cb2a2dac8f25/tumblr_mkwf01s33T1qisxcso1_500.jpg Google Image Result for http://photos.imageevent.com/motorbiker/newspics3/Motorcycle-Tattoo-10.jpg http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT_rvrY-c4zShP_dnGf0SKBCKeDLrL0KqjzGBgeCMqS46kYu21z http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT5y7wdLZrI0l36yqphYSFmRnP5zCxTFGkj1MloqvGiB3uTCsOV-A http://www.tattoostudiofinder.info/images/1327226305biker-tattoo.jpg

Hi, Lawrence here. Fourteen year old from Australia with aspirations of becoming a tattoo artists and a deep seated bitterness toward the fact that I'm not old enough to get one yet. I've accumulated quite a number of stick n' pokes over the past two years, but they're all really small simplistic designs (mainly because the simpler the design; the harder it is to screw up) I have a particular fondness for Celtic/Norse styles, and have the runes for 'protection', 'care', 'strength' and 'prosperity' tattooed along my v- line. At the moment, there's not very much I can do to prepare my self for a career in the industry aside from just generally improving my artistic skills, which I've been working on for a while. I take art classes three times a week and in my spare time I take take commissions on my deviant art account to develop tattoo designs with input from the customer. So yeah... Not much else to say.
