Tattoo's ...post em up

all my friends said the same thing. the only problem is that the only guy that i can trust to do it is charging $500 for it - really good price for his work, lines are CRISP. but i don't have that kind of money to throw around right now *SIGH*
... i guess i should just hold out for another couple months
^^deff agree with that. it took me nearly 4 months to come up with the design and i still want my tat. artist's opinion - i'm hoping aleks at dream jungle will be doing it but i trust that his staff is just as talented.
Have you thought about putting it on your calf? Cool design...
sup everyone! the art in here is amazing 
i'm about ready to get my first tat. took me long enough to come up with something meaningful and hold value throughout my life:

it's an adaptation of the filipino flag, the three sun rays represent myself and my two brothers; the stars are our individual aspirations.
the problem is that i don't know where i want to put it. i've been back and fourth about my elbow, forearm, or shoulder.. lately i've been thinking of getting it big enough to go from my upper left shoulder blade and wrap around my shoulder to my upper chest and down my left arm so i could expand on the design when i choose to. any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

so...ok im looking into getting inked, i want a bust/upper torso of a fierce-looking grizzly bear on my right shoulder blade and I'm planning on it covering about the whole upper right quarter of my back (start just under ribs, extend up to top of shoulder blade, and as far over as my spine)...but i havent seen anything online that actually looks GOOD as far as that tat goes...I've seen plenty that look sort of like that pats tattoo but in bear form lolol anyone here seen any good ones like what i described?
Theres plenty of meaning behind it...I also have a few other ideas but I want to do this one first.

thanks for the compliment 
my calf was considered but i wear pants 98% of the time. since it's my first tat i wanted it to get more attention than it would down there

Just joined the forums so I thought I'd revive the thread and post mine up.
