It's been 2 years since my last tattoo and I finally settled on my next piece.

1-9-8-6 = 1986 = the year I was born. I'm not sure where to put it though. Either inside my right bicep or the top of my back.

....and yes....I photoshopped my own tattoo..... I need a life
 
why dont you get that put on the top of your head(assuming that you will go bald) or on the back of your neck
 
Nice, crisp design. Personally, I think if you plan to go full-on-ink, leave your back as open as possible. In fact, even if you don't think you'll be filling your back, don't do it. Ink becomes an addiction after your first one, as you already well know. Save your back for something "big and special" as I lack better words to define it.

This started as the simple red "design" with the eyes, and has grown from there-

It's not a great photo and was taken within a few hours of adding the scape to it. I also have lettering on my back (yes, it's Latin, and no, it doesn't say "only god can judge me") which was planned to be worked into my final back piece. The overall point I'm trying to make is to have a plan, even if you don't stick exclusively to it. Just my 2 cents, good luck and I hope you enjoy your new tat.

PS: Lesson learned on my end, take into account your body size- as you can see, my first design (in red) was actually too small for my arm even though it spans 5" across and almost 7" vertically. On a side note, that "addition" (with smoke breaks by me and my artist) took 5 hrs.

I think James Hetfield has a similar tattoo :)
 
Haha! that's gonna be awesome! Be sure you post lots of pics when you get it! :D

If I can take this opportunity to post the tattoo I'm getting :) I need to thin out the lines a little, but I drew this about a year ago, and once I get to my goal, I'll be getting this one:

That's where I got the idea. His is way different though. It's the cards beat up, a banner that says "Carpe diem" across it, and has flames behind it since it's on the side of his body that got turned into BBQ. I'm keeping mine clean.

Well, you have great inspiration! Can't wait to see how yours turns out. Say....new Metallica album comes out in September! !lol

Metallica = played out
[/quote1210954131]

Just about every band these days = played out
 
This tat is about a year old, and not my newest, but it's definitely my favorite!
