That\'s my problem, and why I don\'t have any tats.

Actually as \'dumb\' as this sounds this isn\'t the worst idea but if the tattoo is visible to you on a regular basis (like, not on your back between the shoulder blades) then I would want to really like it for my own reasons.

But my no.1 tip, after studying tattoo art for many many years now - get it done by someone good. I\'ve seen a lot of sub-par work on people\'s skin that just makes me cringe.

I would really really really recommend you think more about that. Tats on the hand may seem like a good idea now but even today with mainstream acceptance of tattoos some things are still frowned upon by the vanilla public, even if only subconsciously - think of prospective future employers looking at your hand during an interview, not the accepting eyes of your current peer group who might think it\'s cool.

Er, that\'s not by Sorayama; it\'s Sorayama-esque but not by the great man himself. Even if the quality was there (which it isn\'t) you can tell it\'s computer-generated. Sorayama works with watercolour on illustration board and even in small reproductions you can tell the difference in the smoothness of some of the blends.

Nice but the amount of work and propencity to be lost on pale (ie Caucasian ) skin would make it pointless. Plus that much high quality shading is gonna cost.

I have to totally agree with Einion here, as someone who interviews people for employment in a sometimes sensitive (ie Public Facing ) environment, one of the least appealing things to see is a set of knuckles with Tat\'s on them. Especially when we are talking about visiting schools to support their IT and to do work alongside pupils. The \"hidden curriculum/agenda\" of appearance and behaviour has a lot more impact on the \'customer\' than this PC world would have you think.

The supposed stigma of Tattoo\'s has decreased dramatically over the last few years and what used to be seen as a \"Rough\" and lower class decoration is far more accepted, due in no small part to the excellent work being carried out but Tattoo Artists.
However despite this being what you want on your body and it being a relatively free world any prospective employer is going to look and have second thoughts. If you don\'t believe me than check out the US NAVY\'s recent new directives on Tattoo\'s and their placements.

Typhus, that design IS NOT what he needs, due to it being VERY close to the logo for a certain organization, that if Wingz isnt a part of, could land him in trouble. As for the Soryama, that piece would have to be quite large on the ol\' bod in order to get that amount of detail/colour gradation.
