Tattoos

I don't think that's boring. I'd stick to the classic and not bother with trying to twist it. Get a proper, old-school sleeve: no fussy background, classic pieces, solid black lines and heavy shading and colour. That's not a trend, that's classic and it's held up better than anything else.

There is some fantastic old flash out there, I wouldn't limit myself to just Sailor Jerry.

Yeah I hear ya. Do you have any artists in mind? :-)
