I was thinking about getting this on my inner forearm. I want to change the background a bit add a bit more color.I will be moving to London in a few weeks if anyone has any suggestions on artists please share. Also and ideas and criticism are welcomed.
"The Fool is the spirit in search of experience. He represents the mystical cleverness bereft of reason within us, the childlike ability to tune into the inner workings of the world. The sun shining behind him represents the divine nature of the Fool's wisdom and exuberance, holy madness or 'crazy wisdom'. On his back are all the possessions he might need. In his hand there is a flower, showing his appreciation of beauty. He is frequently accompanied by a dog, sometimes seen as his animal desires, sometimes as the call of the "real world", nipping at his heels and distracting him. He is seemingly unconcerned that he is standing on a precipice, apparently about to step off."[/img] |

| Most good artists will quickly tell you that they cannot fit that much detail on your inner forearm. If they tell you "no problem", I would be suspicious. They will most likely have to leave detail out or it will look like a spoltchy mess. |
