i dont want it to be big, it has to be to the point where the star will be covered and i know it has to be black because of the outline of the star but i dunno what other color or texture i can put it in, i want it to look cute and colorful

any suggestions? thanks!

Answer 1

the 2nd is better!!!
Do it if u like it!!A tattoo is something very personal!!!.
It's ur decision.

Answer 2

what makes you think you'll like a ribon more than a star? is there a particular reason that you want that? because it is a wrist tattoo you should really be careful about what you chose because it is such a visible thing. a black ribon would cover the star but i'm not sure how good it'd look.

Answer 3

i have many tattoo's and worked in a studio, i've looked at all your photos, and cant help but wonder, do you have this particular tattoo for the traditionally symbolic reason of a nautical star inside your wrist?? if you do then you would not want to add to it in any way, its not the best of work and i would be reluctant to attract more attention to it i'm afraid, at the moment it can be hidden with a watch strap. Thats not what you were wanting to hear i know, why not go to another artist and discuss it with them, i wouldnt want, as an artist to have my name associated with this i'm afraid, sorry

Answer 4

Sorry Honey I agree with Fi not a good pice of work. Find an artist that has a good reputationin your area and talk to them first, and concider there advice.Shop around, make sure your happy that they know there job well, and care about what they do,,Not I've Done this Or that,they will also have pix of there work ask to see some of them

Answer 5

I don't think the ribbons look good with it. But tattoos are a symbol of your heart. So you should do something that reflects you. Maybe you should do a heart?

Answer 6

If I were you, I go to a artist and see what they could help you design or put together with a few small tats to make a theme or something. The bow just doesn't lok like a wrist piece.? You have sooooo many options and yes you will have to go black. you have such a wide black line in your star. An idea could be,(just to throw one out),is to circle your wrist with vines,thorns,sm.leaves,+asst. sm. colored rose buds.(Use dark + lgt. greens for leaves + dark blue,purple,etc., for flowers, + black+brown for vines). Just one of many, many ideas! Good Luck! Have the entire world to find art in. (Nature, books, flash, tattooist ideas)

Answer 7

I personally like the star, but out of those two ribbons, I prefer the second one, but it really is your desicion.
Good Luck

Answer 8

just curious..what the hell does a ribbon mean to you? why dont you go see your artist and explain the situation and go through some drawings and such and get an idea of what you can do....

Answer 9

Look in the mirror and you choice what will look good. There are wide jewlry too. You can get some pretty material, lace.

Answer 10

i would suggest going to a tat artist and discussing it with him/her. they could suggest colors and design with you and you could check out the work that he/she has done...

also, if you just want to hide it for a moment...big bangle bracelets are in and that would hide it nicely...

best of luck
