    I know I have some works in progress, but I thought about getting this done somewhere that won't impede on the other works. It signifies the twin flames (Google it! LOL) What do ye think? Would it be hard to do?

    Don't know about difficult. But it certainly looks expensive!

    I'd imagine it'd be very hard to do to have it looking right...

    That's what I'm afraid of. It looks cool on paper as it were, but could turn out a mess. I might email it to my tattooist and see what he thinks. I know he'll say yes anyway as he loves doing something different and challenging.

    Thanks. My guy is good, but I don't know if he's THAT good!

    Ah the goo for a new tattoo. I'm back in after Christmas to get my Alien tattoo finished and start on my horror sleeve again. Baby steps. Can't wait! :D

    I'd say that'd be REALLY hard to replicate well. Maybe get your man to draw it up, see if it looks how you'd like it to?

    Also have the tattoo itch. Planning one just after Christmas, but I'm SO close to going into my normal place tomorrow and getting a Pokemon done on my ribcage just because I can. Argh!

    Nah, I was about 50% sure when I went into town that I was gonna wait a while to get it done, and just go shopping. In the end, the decision was made for me because I was so sick that I fainted in a shoe shop. :pac:

    Not sure yet, I've been onto my tattooist but only about finishing some work and continuing the horror sleeve. I'll land him with this soon enough though. By all means, if you can get it done, work away. It's not like I designed it or anything, I don't mind at all. Just make sure you stick up pics if you get it done.
