I think it's fantastic. Make sure you go big enough to show the detail. You'll wear with pride for life.

Keepoffgrass,

Dude, your artwork is fantastic! I'd love to see your colored version.
Yeah, i agree with CCGA, make sure it's big enough on your body to not have the details get lost.

Not to hijack your thread, but what else ya got?? Show us more of your drawings

A beautiful crest!

As noted, watch the close lines - you probably know you gotta have some space with tats.

Have you ever considered making some side money doing tattoo flash? Bet you could do well.

Thanks guys!
Cloves, I think I have some other stuff scanned and on my laptop which is unfortuately down, do to a bad plug connector. I cant seem to find anything here on my desktop at the moment. I'll look around a bit and see if I can find any more drawings or paintings, if I can I'll post them in here. Give me a day or two though. Right now Im on my way out the door to talk to a tattoo artist and see what they say. talk to ya all later

I think it looks fantastic! I would love to tattoo that. Shop around, though I'm sure you know that...

I think you just started yourself a little cottage industry. I imagine more than a few folks here calling on your tallents for future ink designs!
