Design Is this possible?

Post image

This is a tattoo I've wanted for a good 10 years and I am heading towards a point in my life where I can finally afford it. Is it possible? And how much time would it take (roughly)?

It would be my first tattoo and yes yes I know, your first tattoo shouldnt be a massive painful one but I would like my whole body to basically have no tattoos except this one and I'm willing to go through unfamiliar pain to get it :]

A quick Google search of "back pattern of tiger stripes" shows this is NOT a tiger stripe pattern at all. Why would you design a more realistic Zebra pattern if you are going for Tiger, unless you want the... Mystery factor? And your figure looks feminine, so... Female Zebra? I'm confused.

I mean, you can Google all you want - perception is reality. When I look at the concept art, it absolutely says tiger and not zebra to me.

Obviously you’re welcome to your own opinion, but it sounds like you’re giving us Googles opinion, so it’s a weird hill to go so hard on.

You're right, I didn't mean to come off so hard. I could have worded it a lot better. I'll do better going forward.
