What do you folks think of this design ? It symbolizes good and evil with my good side also being evil. Was thinking either back or ribcage. Thoughts ?

That will make a great tattoo if done by the right tattooist or a big blob of shit if done by the guy down the street.

My tattoo artist is very capable so that is no worry. I'm just not sure wether to go through with it & if I do, where to put it.

That is what everyone thinks. Post a link to your tattooists work so you can get another opinion.
As for placement and other questions ask them.

Seriously, post the artist's name and get those other opinons like buttwheat says... You really don't want to go to anyone less than phenomenal if you want that to look anything like the reference. The level of detail is so high it would be very easy for most artists to butcher this.

also you better make sure it is big. too small and it will be an epic fail. something like a back piece, or at the very least a thigh or rib piece.


yes please mention your artist. you may regret it later if you don't.

Looks like a good tattoo idea I think you will need a good tattoo artist with this one and not be afraid to spend money on getting it really well done since I think it requires a lot of detail work to make it look good.

I think it is a cool image but it would be too technically difficult to make a good tattoo out of it.

Some of the most elite artists might be able to do it if you did it big enough, like across the back, but otherwise seems like you are headed for trouble.
