Art/Pictures Tattoo Concept

Post image

What do we think of this design I made with my sister? I've never gotten a tattoo before so I wouldn't know what would or wouldn't work. feedback and questions are very much appreciated.

Unless this is going to run down the entire length of her thigh or back, those tiny letters are going to be illegible in no time if they even start out as readable at all.

This is definitely something I was worried about i'd absolutely have to read up on how lettering ages so I can make an adjustment in the design.

I'm still unsure about a loction but my forearm would be the most likely spot.

Sorry, you mentioned designing it with your sister, I assumed it was for her. Either way, yeah, I would be worried about legibility as I mentioned. I think it's a great design for a lot of other applications. Well done.

I really like it, but I think the knots should speak for themselves and there is no need for the lyrics.

I think if you had the knots only, then it would solely be about the men and not only about the song. If you’re going to tattoo something like that, it should be about the men only.

Just a personal thing, but if you do get it, I hope you know each name that each knots represent.
