    Ok.. I´m really horrible at drawing, so this isn´t exactly what I would get. (the eye will be totally different, Ill have the guy redraw that entirely)

    But this is the basic outline of what I´m thinking about. The tattoo will be on my calf, the bricks would be skin color, (so it looks like the skin is opening up and the picture is inside.)

    But, what I´m wondering is, does this look good? Will it look good as a tattoo? (assuming someone else redraws it better)

    Im bad at judging myself, (or my drawing..) and it looks cool to me, but I don´t want to get it on my leg, and find out it looks horrible.

    I have a much simpler easier design that I´m going to use if I decide against this one.

    thanks in advance for any feedback, good or bad..

    I like it, its unique. Once the tattoo artist redraws it I think it will look really awesome. Are you going to have it wrapped around your calf?

    do you mean all the way around? I was planing on it wraping about halfway around, and the bricks fading out and blending into the skin.

    haha, thanks.

    And I think I´m going to, I´ll just give it a couple more days to see if I want to change anything.

    thanks for the feedback guys, I´ll post a pic after I get it :)

    Have the tattoo artist draw it up, and then have them or someone else who's a good artist draw it onto your leg, in the way you want it, so you can try wearing it a few days.

    I personally wouldn't get anything referencing a band, unless it was MY band, tattooed on me... but if you like it, go for it.

    You can never go wrong designing your own tattoo in my opinion.

    It's personal, that makes a great difference.

    I tried drawing that, and didnt like how it turned out. I picked red because it flows better with the zeppelin. Also, I like red..

    I wouldn´t get a tattoo devoted to a band, the word on the blimp and the eye have a deeper meaning..

    I wouldn´t get ´LED ZEPPELIN´ tattooed on my back, but I think the blimp and the vauge reference to pink floyd don´t take over the tattoo or anything... If they werent in the tattoo, I would put some other kind of design in it that didn´t have an overly deep meaning. So I personaly dont have any reservations about refrencing my 2 favorite bands of all time instead of having some meanless filler design.

    haha.. that was actually an option I was considering.. (not the spiderman part.. just the skin opening up part) until I thought of the bricks thing.

    Consider if you really want the word "agitated" as a tattoo. There are different words that could be equally as meaningful without provoking thought of something unpleasant.

    I just wanted be sure to give you my opinion before you get inked.
