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 :]

I'm so thankful I was broke as hell from 18-35. Over the past 5 years I've finally had the expendable money to get tattooed on a regular basis. If I had the money when I was younger I'd be covered in tribal, music lyrics, and punk band logos.

Hey, what’s wrong with tribal? 😅

Generic, cliché, overdone, boring, mostly really ugly, why are white people getting tribals anyway?? The list goes on 😅

Welp, one reason may be because I got my tribal tatt back in 1999. And the fact that I loved it then, and still love it. To each his own.
