really not feelin' the zodiac signs.. they look out of place and don't compliment the design. plus they're uneven, which is especially odd since the rest of the tattoo relies on symmetry so much. are you saving the middle right area for a 6th sign?

There are 6 signs and they are very even actually its hard to tell by the photo.. The signs are of my family (children) the names would of been to big. And yes they do compliment the design if you know the whole meaning of the design which i will not go into its personal..
But everyone has their own views and I appreciate that.. |

i don't care about the meaning, i'm talking about the composition of the tattoo design.
anyway, congrats on your first.

That's teh thing that the Miami Ink crowd doesnt get, is that no-one knows or gives a shit about the meaning. If it isnt pleasing to the eye, it looks wrong. You shouldnt have to explain it for it to look right, and in this case, you apparently dont want to anyway, so no, it infact does not "compliment" the design... |
