                            Here's "Tilly". This is my first.  No photo has every really done her justice, but i love her, and think she looks amazing irl. Another appointment booked in for 2 weeks to add to it for a probable half or 3/4 sleeve, but have ruled out every idea i've ever had so have not a clue what i'm getting done.

                            Short consultation on Thursday to discuss some ideas, hoping for some inspiration!

                            So while it's my tattoo and my arm and so forth, i'd love to hear any ideas that some of you more heavily tattoo'd people may have?!

                              Good on you, Tidal, for finding a proper portrait artist. Normally I can find a flaw that makes the face look unrealistic, oftentimes the nose, and it makes me feel bad for the person. But yours is nice to look at, so you should be happy if you like it!

                                To your question, although I have none, I have always enjoyed looking at geometry-based tattoos. I think they can make the human body look so radiant and powerful

                                  Cheers Adam, and thanks for the kind words.  It's funny you mention noses, I think it's the worst bit on my tattoo as well [emoji16]

                                    @tidal I think it's hard to advice here, as you chose a style that is not the usual choice for full sleeves (unless you want to do chicano stuff or a full black & grey sleeve like some soccer players). I think you should choose whatever style / motive you like, but colourful asian or traditional western style would not blend in that well with realistic black & grey…

                                      Thanks Max, that's the kind of advice i was hoping for (eg thematic, rather than anything specific), and probably goes some way to explaining why i'm struggling a bit for ideas.

                                      My preference is for traditional tattoos, so i may be best leaving the portrait as is (or maybe framing it off in some way) and moving onto the next thing.

                                      And i've never heard a sleeve like that described as a footballer's sleeve- spot on!

                                        @Tidal one option would be to go ornate, as per this sleeve by Russ Abbott.

                                        Or maybe more surreal, such as this one by Pietro Sedda.

                                          As Flo @Max Power said .. a Chicano style black & grey sleeve would be an option

                                          or some Trash Polka

                                            Thanks @Graeme and @Finkster, really appreciate the input.  Will research some of these suggestions.  Cheers!
