Maybe symbolism of something but like a portrait or name is a bad idea, the way I see it the only names you should ever get on your body are your parents or your children. (None of those yet for me but I do have a decent amount of ink. 1/2 Sleeve, 1/4 sleeve and another small piece in the last year.)

However, you said you've been kicking it around for a long time so if you think it's a surefire thing... then I guess go for it.

But on the other hand the fact that you had to ask instead of just posting us a picture of said finished work makes me wonder.

Either way keep us updated brotha.
