    Have you gone into any studios and had a look through their portfolios. That'd be a good starting point. We could give you ideas untill next year,(pun intended) but they mightn't seem good in your head till you actually see them drawn.

    A good library of pics is bmezine.com. You'd probably find something you like in there.

    In the spirit of Christmas and Ne Years an all that we shall endeavour to help. do you have any hobbies, or things you like, music etc etc?

    something like these?

    i would advise you take a wee spin to some tat studios and talk to some artists, they have the experience and are the best sorce of knowledge.

    we can recommend some tattooist once you have an idea of what kind of style you would like

    Thanks -I have spoken to quite a few -it won't be my first tatoo;) I was asking here because of the odd shape, my brain is drawing a blank, at first I thought something flowery, but I don't want anything too naff - I haven't worn anything pretty or backless for years because I hate that splodge -even if it were not covered completely, just something to detract the eye away.......
    Wanted to pick your brains :D

    It's going to be tattooed on your body, is it really the wisest to be asking other people what you should get there if you have no clear ideas yourself?

    Sure what the hell, it's only permanent :rolleyes:

    have you checked with your doctor/dermatologist if its ok to tattoo over that? its ofter not a good idea to tattoo over birthmarks/moles, as the tattoo will mask any potentially dangerous changes later on.

    that should be your first stop, not the tattoo parlour.

    Hey Dragona, Are you *sure* you're sure you want to cover it? :confused:

    I have a large birthmark on my left lower leg (strawberry mark - pigment is missing so its pure white) for years I hated it but now I like it, its unique, its part of me and i'm glad now I didnt cover it.

    I had a lower leg piece planned that would partially cover it, but will probably do it on my other leg instead now at some stage. :)

    Imo your back looks pretty, but of course its totally up to yourself, its your skin :cool:

    ps - Hot2Def - good advice! ;)

    A little difficult to tell from that picture but does the blemish resemble anything? Look at it as one of those ink blot tests that the shrinks use on people to see how their minds work. If you can see it resembling something as it is now then it might help to give you an idea for a tattoo to cover it partially or perfectly...
