Where are you going to stick it?

definately 2. far too much goin on in the others. a nice simple image always looks a lot cleaner and nicer. where are you thinking of getting it? anatomically not geographically :)
Did you have a good world when you died? Enough to base a movie on?

In black Parm? I don't think. You can use green in leaves and gold in letters, but, well  it's could be a woman color then a man color
By the way when I said about your moving pic, it's not to put it moving only one of its moving.

Option 2 i think is the best one.Not a fan of coloured tattoos so all mine are just in black ink.
I have two on my chest and am getting another one on my arm in a couple of months.
I will be honest with you it does obvisously hurt a bit,but the good thing is when you are thinking of tapping out they tend to be finishing with that spot.
Where you are having your tattoo is good spot and shouldnt be that bad(inside of the arm is a killer)
Bleeds a bit and you will sweat loads.
Oh,another thing make sure you realy do want to have the tattoo for obvious reasons! |

Nope, it's got a crista transversa. so it's a centurion's. And comes with a black and white plum, I see - sounds tasty!
A gladius would be a nice thing to have, but expensive - you're talking in the region of 500 euros for an accurate Pompeii pattern (the type that would have been used by Cato and Macro).

i have one already...was fairly expensive, but not 500 euros, mine is made by toledo in spain. (quality steel)
there are quite a few on ebay as replicas, you can even buy a battle ready one for about £100 on there

Have you decided on what one you are getting?
If so, when are you getting it done? |

i quote like 1 and 2 but they need to be tweaked, might have to take them to the tattoo artist in town and see what he can do with them and how much it might cost.
2 is nice and simple, but i think the laurel needs work and the lettering a bit more blocky rather than script.
1, is a lot more fussy but makes me think...if you have it done do it properly...

If you pick 'SQOR' does this mean you're going to have to do Walter Vectroni's biding?

I reckon number 2 is the best, but that is just my personal opinion.

| Get option 2 done in black as that will stand out really well. |

haha. yeah cant find a decent pic of an eagle anywhere. may be an idea to show a decent tattoo artist your pics and explain what you would like. they are generally quite talented and can create summut on paper for you to agree to.
