    they look pretty awesome, but as you say yourself it's not just for crimbo, and it is your body you're puttin em on, so at the end of the day if it's summit you love and would be happy to have on you for life then go for it! :) after pics!

    you could make it into a bigger piece, depending on the styles you like itl totally change the look, if you want old school or new school stuff with big thick lines and stuff.

    i want it friggin AWSOME...

    alls i know is i want thick lines and shading so it looks 3d

    i love my star but dunno about it with the compass so im thinkin of gettin the compass first and if i want the star at a later date, i guess ill do it then...

    the thing im most confused about is the center of the compass,

    two other things for the middle i drew were

    keep drawing, bring them into a studio and ask em to draw something up for you, you seem to have solid ideas about what you want

    in my, uneducated tattoo opinion, i like the first one best. the claddagh doesnt look right in the middle and i just like how the first one is really 'full'. i do have a good idea of design as i do a good bit of art myself though.

    defo go big. if you're worried about not liking it in the future assoicate it with something important to you, something that'll never change. it could be something you'll never tell anyone but you'll know and that'll be enough....

    save, save, SAVE. It'll be worth it paying a bit extra when you know you're getting someone good. no point to be a cheap skate about it :D like wilburt said get a tattoo artist to do the final drawing. that way they'll get the lines right, ect.

    well its already important to me, im a scout leader and well a compass is fairly outdoorsy... :P at the humble age of 18 im involved over 13 years so i dont think it'll change...

    i just wanna get the whole thing right...
    ya know?

    oh yeah your right though. im very careful about what i get done. im a bit of a worrier you see. what i've done with my next tattoo put its design as my desktop, stare at it and if i still love it i'l get it end of summer. i was going to get it done earlier but im back at gymnastics and my feet are constantly getting carpet burns there where i plan to get it done lol. need to heal ect.

    4"? hmm
    best bet is to talk to a tattoo artist about it,
    what are you aiming for with the ink? a cute look or what?
    you want something that will flow with your body and look right on you
