i've always wanted to get this tattooed on my right arm between my shoulder and elbow.. now that i'm 26 i'm having a really hard time finding a reason not to do it. if you were a stranger walking by and saw this on my arm would you think i had a mental illness? your response may or may not affect my decision. but seriously.. what do you think..

I'm no tatoo expert, but the location is questionable IMO. I'd go back of shoulder blade with something like that. I kinda like it actually... way better than the usual cliche tatoos.

First I'd inwardly snicker that his "sword" looks like a raging boner. Then I wouldn't like you for the animal cruelty part. So I say go for it.

yeah for years i thought about the right shoulder blade because it would be more inconspicuous, but what's the point of having a tattoo if i can't see it? and if i was worried about other people seeing then i probably shouldn't get a tattoo? orion has alot of significant meaning to me.

it does look a bit like a raging boner, but that's just how he rolls. also the lion looks like he was a bit handicapped so really he was just doing it a favour.

If you ever have to ask someone else for an opinion on whether on not to get a tattoo then you shouldn't get it.

edit:
If you want to hide it put it on the middle of your back.
I think it would distort if you tried to put it on your arm.

I certainly wouldn't think any less of you, but I'm also the kid going to basically get this:



...tattooed on his arm shortly, so perhaps you should take my opinion on all of this with a big fat grain of salt

i don't know man... by that rationale, you should put that tatoo on the back of your hand if you want to see it the most easily. Even if it's on the back of the blade, you'd know it's there and there are mirrors. You don't want to be checking it out in public on your arm all the time anyway. Location is key. I've seen a lot of dumb tatoos lately and that one is pretty sweet. BUT... the other dude was right about the sword being in a raging boner position. You might want to edit that part somehow.

i'm pretty sold on the arm, however, i am nervous as to if it would work in that small space.. i would have to talk to the tattoo guy about that. i am planning on having another kid in the near future so i don't want a spot that's going to stretch out, and i'm not a fan of the cumcatcher.

Just have the artist redraw the sword somewhere else.
