Tattoo design.
sailor61:
Think long and hard about getting anything in a location as visible as your neck. Under a shirt etc is one thing but out in the complete and contimuous light of day is a whole different story. Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with this design visible to anyone that looks at you? I'm not saying don;t do it....I'm sayign realize this is PERMANENT and not something that will be under clothing etc. It may seem great at your current age/employment but in 20 years??
I'm not inked but am considering it and have plenty of buddies who are. One common thought is to have them placed so you can conceall them under regular clothing when that is what you want - and there are times you will not want ink to be how folks make their initial judgement of you.
The basic design is pretty good however the artwork is on the crude side - it needs to be sharpened up and the proportions etc cleaned up.

I agree with Sailor! While I don't have any tattoos, my wife has one and I have many friends with ink. Please avoid the urge to tattoo any part of your face or neck. I know that many young people are into large tattoos on the neck but those markings will definitely (right or WRONG) affect their ability to obtain employment in the conservative white-collar market. If you plan to get either full or half-sleeves you need to realize that you may be wearing long-sleeved shirts all year depending upon how your employer/customers view permanent art-work!
Why not put that design on your arm? It could be the hub for a future sleeve if you become an ink "addict".
Man, I feel like a parent! Just be good...or at least be good at it!

I'm pretty much inked up including neck, (many hours)... but I do agree with Sailor & Mike13... It's your personal preference, what looks good to you, LOOKS GOOD TO YOU..! so be it... But on your neck (or any other spot you can't easily cover, make sure you really like it. How big you plan to make this,,, lots of detail there... the more detail the larger it has to be, or you lose it and it becomes one big blur

I'll jump in wiht my second 2 cents worth and agree with Oracle. That design would work out real well on your right upper arm. Clean up the drawing of the eagle and get a sharper head on the coyote or wolf and it's a keeper. (right now the coyote/wolf looks much more like a domesti dog - maybe a german shephard mix)

Thanks for the comments guys.. keep em coming!
Sailor i agree that the wolf could well be a coyote or even a domesticated dog of sorts, so thats gonna need clearing up.
My tattooist has already noted the Eagles flaws so that should all be cleared up.
I'm interested to know what you guys think of the colours? Personally i'm pretty satified with the design and will be more so when it's been 'tweaked' But i do wonder whether theres alittle too much going on colour wise??
