13.Onesock Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I want to get a sleeve with different meanings on it and idk if it would look weird because of the coloring. Need advice: Part 1) I want American flag ripping out the skin on my upper arm on the outside part2) I want some sort of either baseball or a hunting tattoo on the inside of the bicep/ or could complete the American flag around it part 3) ducks (mallards/shovelers) on my forearm on top and my wrist being the water line and them eatting grass underwater from my hand and fingers. Part 4) on the underside of the forearm, something to do with either baseball/ducking hunting/fishing Since everything has a different color, especially with the American flag, I was wondering if it would look weird or any suggestions anyone would have on this. Anything helps! Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyg Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) I could see this working with the right artist. *Red* white blue, and then for the ducks green brown blue (depending on the type). I'd be less worried about the colors than the amount of imagery/number of images. Generally less is more. But I could totally see a flag rip on the upper arm, and a duck/water OR baseball scene on the lower. All three on one arm (if I've read you correctly) seems really difficult. Everything's down to finding the right artist though. Edited July 21, 2019 by scottyg 13.Onesock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your time and do lots of research on possible artists. Make sure that they have examples in their portfolios of similar work. Done right it could be outstanding, or done poorly a disaster. scottyg and Hogrider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be better to have a duck scene at the time and flag on the forearm?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of thing that I'd work out with your artist. I'm in no way artistic and besides, my tastes may be drastically different than yours.
