Now I'm thinking maybe a pied. They are both(bumble bee and pied) the morphs that made me fall in love with these snakes. No constricting pics folks?

That's a good concept to combine your hobbies. If you could get someone to give it a Japanese style I think that it would be sharp as both flowers and serpents look really nice that way.

Any examples? Not sure exactly? I think chinese dragons in my head when I think asian tattoo art?

Sorry, no constricting pics here! But I wish you the best of luck! That'd be crazy cool if you got on the show!

I like the concept of the orchid and the bp. I don't know about the idea of the snake constricting the flower though. It just doesn't seem natural to have a snake constricting a flower... I think it would be more pleasing and relaxing to the eye to have the snake around the flower, but in a relaxed posture.

Just my 2 cents...

Good luck getting on there. Definitely keep us posted if you get accepted.

That is true and a very good idea

I would stay away from a pied, especially if you were planning on getting a high white. White inks don't hold well depending on some people's skin. I think the pattern of a bee will transfer over to a tattoo a lot better than the randomness of the pied also.

Are you planning or going color or black and gray?

Don't know how big your going on your shoulder but you could have multiple orchids with the snake slithering in the background or through them.

Just some ideas but your best bet will be to just have the artist draw something up

Thats is a good idea too Rick thanks, I wanted the snake to go over the red flower because I thought it would have better contrast than on my fairly pale skin color.

I appreciate all the ideas
