    looks ok as it is.

    Yeah i see nothing wrong with it either, looks grand. Personally id leave it as it is.
    To add to it maybe introduce some bio meachanical elements to it. Then again that would be my personal taste. Go ask a tattoo artist and see what they say and tell em what youd like.

    orginally wanted it to be more bio mechanical but the artist went for a more anime style which i also like, i brought some art with me to help her design it! I did want it going in and out of my back but she put it just bursting out! Still love it!:D

    Yeah its very nice alright, some of the tattoos ive seen on people who got em while on holidays generally look sh!te, however yours is the exception :D thankfully

    Perhaps a bit of red, where the dragon has burst through? Go to an artist and get their opinion.

    nice that mate , i personally wudnt get it colored

    Class tattoo man, especially like the little white highlights around the dragon's head. Little touches like that really make the difference.

    Would you think of getting those little white highlights around other parts of the dragon? Of course they could be there already but I can only see highlights around there on my crappy monitor...

    they are there already, must be cause the pic is small that you can't see them, they hurt the most!

    I like this tattoo. Your risk of getting tattoo'd in a Spanish holiday destination actually paid off. It does look like something could be added to it but i'm not quite sure what.I reckon you should head into a few artists to see what they can add to bring it to life a bit more

    I'd say colour it, it looks unfinished the rips need more work.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    Yeah after looking at it again there now it does look a bit "bare", take Blub's/AgMarbh's advice and go see someone about it and see what they say.

    really cool tat man!

    only change I'd make would be to rough up the rips a bit, they look a bit too clean and maybe some shading in bewteen the rips to show the outline of the body beneath the skin, give the piece a fuller feel. Keep it black and gray tho!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭Q_Ball


    thats an great tattoo! Any of the tattoos i've seen that involve holes in the body or things coming out are biomech and its great to see a non-biomech in the same vein!

    Personally i wouldnt go down the biomech route, as there's an organic feel to it since its a dragon coming out. unless you wanted a technology vs nature theme

    I think ur tattoo looks great first off. I cant help but think that red shading on the rips would make it look excellent. It would also make the dragon stand out more, as it is theres too much going on with all the rips to identify the wings straight off, with red on the rips you would be able to recognise the whole tattoo for what it is. Good luck, defo get it looked at!

    It looks great, but I would in be agreement with this comment about the red. It'd give it a kinda fleshy look to it. Just idea for you to ponder on!!!!

    Just wanted to add, I dont think it's bad, just that it could be stunning with a bit of colour added. :D

    Let us know what you decide to do and hopefully post up a new pic if you do get it altered in any way. Best of luck.
