    I know I have a lot of "work-in-progress" tatts at the minute, but I seen this today and it's just too tempting to NOT get it done. Opinions?

    I think that'd be awesome. It's a cool pic.

    As an idea I'd be tempted to get uv ink done to show the adamantium skeleton.

    And the not enough space problem. I never really wanted a sleeve but now I feel like I need a third arm.

    What makes that picture (and Japanese ink works in general) look good is how it is all compiled of quick, gestural strokes.

    To have such a thing translated into a tattoo would be extremely difficult to get right. In most cases it will probably come out looking similar, but static and lacking all the life of an ink and brush drawing like that. :(

    Getting it done hand poked could sort that out, but again, as you're dealing with skin as opposed to paper, the fine detail and patches of dots could blur a bit over time.
