Was thinking of getting this tattoo on my upper left arm/shoulder area andf getting a "tribal" like theme/pattern to cover the whole left arm. I just don't know what kind of pattern would go along the Shadaloo skull to go with and its mindfucking me to think of one. Any suggestions?
You should just stretch out the design so that the skull is mostly shown visible to the arm and with the wings stretched to the complete back to the arm where the two larger wings nearly touch each other. Don't get tribal shit. Also, maybe get the tattoo red where the black is and black where the white is.

Yeah, I'd also have to agree with staying away from tribal art. It's too cliche at this point, and really, most people that are serious about tattoos don't want to have cliche art if they can avoid it.
If I'm remembering clearly, I think that design is logo for Bison's syndicate corp (SF). If I'm wrong, I apologize. I was thinking initially something with lightning. Not cartoonish lightning, but more photo-realistic instead. And/or something incorporating a scene of a skyline of a city with the logo in the background, kind of overlooking/controlling the city, with the city looking rundown, hapless, and crime infested (There's kind of a scene of this at the intro for Streets of Rage, the final boss is overlooking the city). Guess it depends if you're willing to incorporate more SF themes/characters into this piece, regarding additional possible directions you could go. That's if this is even a SF related logo..lol...Good luck.
Yea this is the Shadolaw Logo from Street Fighter. Lots of hate on the tribal idea lol. I wasn't thinking barb wires or shit like that, just a pattern to cover the whole left sleeve with or without the the Shadolaw icon. I've been wanting a sleeve for a long time now but want it to be original.OJdaKiller said:

Atm at work and cant find the actual picture of my tattoo but just to give an idea i have a tattoo based of this Yoji Shinkawa: Meryl poster on my right calf. The result was not exactly as stylized as the original poster but i was more then happy with the result.
Also have a bass cleft on my left wrist.
Planning for a long time now a full sleeve arm tattoo but have yet to find the perfect motif for it.
Also planning to have a Sniper Wolf tattoo (most likely on my other calf) to match the Maryl one

So anyway back home now and i digged through my old photos and found the ones that my artist took once the job was completed.
So this is how it looked fresh from the press so to say:
2-3 months later i decided that she should have a proper shadow as well so had that added too. Quality of this pic is not the best unfortunately

Getting this inked on you is probably a really bad idea. It's based on an amalgam of Nazi insignias. Most people will have no idea it's Street Fighter related but many people will likely identify it as a Nazi insignia.

If I was ever to get another tattoo, it'd be a version of this:
Obviously just the shark and serpent, not the text/anything else.
I could also go for some electrical diagram mixed into some sci-fi tat, something like the stuff that surrounds Shodan from SS.

Oh my god that is amazing. I've been looking for years for some decent inspiration for comic book/space tattoos and I might have to steal your man, it's perfect!

On my hip, when it was still fresh about a year and a half ago. I really wanted to keep it something simple, nothing impressive or anything like that.
I was planning on getting a second tattoo of the Colossi mark from Shadow of the Colossus on my ribs eventually. Not looking forward to that one, since I'm kind of afraid of needles.

no matter how awesome a particular artist is, I would never in a million years get one of his pieces of concept art as a permanent tattoo. On top of that, the version that you have forever branded yourself with isn't even remotely accurate to the quality of the original drawing.
I just... I just can't fathom what compels people to get tattoos like this, especially shitty renditions of much better art. How hard is it to just trace the original? SMH.
Also: B&W linework and iconography always looks a million times better than any color tattoo. For instance, the meryl tat would look so much better if it were b&w.
SMH.
