Dom, you're killing us with suspense. Which fonts made it into the semi finals?

I'm playing with designs now. I'm liking the idea of having it in a circle and the beginnings of a spiral. On the inside of my upper forearm.

I know this is a stupid question/statement.
When you say "upper" are you talking about the inner part of your arm nearest your armpit/shoulder or towards the hand? If it is the part towards the armpit understand that is a really sensitive place and will hurt like hell

My upper forearm! Meaning, below my elbow. And I've decided against the spiral.

That shouldn't be nearly as bad, good.

Ya, I think a spiral would be a lot harder to actually read.

Excited to see the outcome.

I have a full color sleeve on left arm and two large peices on my right (one inside bicep one around elbow n down forearm) and they have no special meaning/significance whatsoever.

well not entirely true I do have my 3 dogs from childhood buried under grass n flowers n a tree on the sleeve, but that's only thing that has any meaning at all n its a pretty small portion of the overall ink.

I'm not getting one, but if I did, I'd get Cthulhu's head on a shoulder, with his tentacles swirling around the arm towards the wrist.

Dom i would recommend waiting at least half a year. If you still want it by the new year, then i'd say go ahead and get it. Just skimming this thread my concern is that the idea is a bit impulsive, and instead of vacillating on the details of a tattoo, youve been debaing which tattoo to get. Each tattoo i got i waited over a year to get just to make sure it was something i wanted for a very long time. I had other ideas too but after a short while lost interest in them and glad i never got them as tattoos. Just my opinion
