Ever since i took my first tattoo i've been thinking about a new one but could never figure out what i wanted. Then my mom told me about this little figure with three monkeys and said i could get that tattooed.

 

But i'm not going to have three monkeys on my arm so i thought of tiki masks or old wooden masks. Here's a sketch i've made showing kinda what i want.

 

The three monkeys represents "Hear no evil, say no evil and see no evil".

I will have the tattoo on the back of my arm, so half above and below my elbow.

 

When i get more sketches and ideas i'll make a thread on arts and craft. And will ofc post the tattoo whenever i

ll take it ;)

 

Let me know what you think!

I agree with kratos the hands seem off to the rest of the picture. I also when ever you get around to it wanna see a colored sketch. Also maybe some extra background stuff like between or around the masks. Those are just my opinions.

I suck at drawing hands so they are just there to show the tattoo artist where i want hands :p And im not sure what i want in the background. was thinking about having a jungle or somthing like that, and ofc alot of smoke/fog!

 

Im just not sure what kind of hands would fit the masks :/

 

The tattoo artist will ofc draw off my sketches and do some finishing touches on it!

I would not recommend going to a tattoo parlour and saying "this is where the hands should be, but I don't want them to look like that, just do your own thing". You are pretty much appealing to the gods to be disappointed.

I would ofc tell him about the hands before he starts working on his sketches and not the tattoo itself :p

 

How about some kind of bone style hands but done in a wooden or maybe stone sorta look.

 

Was thinking about stick hands, branches. But i think that bony hands would scream more death than i want it too :/ The masks are scary enough as they are :p But i'll keep on sketching and let you know how it goes ;)

A little update. Made the hands look a little better but still needs work "by a professional".

And was thinking of having the right part of this image in the background faded out.

And with some colors
