haha thanks tsq! I've had some designs half forming in my head but I am very not an artist.
^Well, that's what the tattoo artist is for!
I consider myself an artist -- at least, my drawings are pretty good and my paintings are alright, so I drew some of my designs, but the tattoo artists' input was invaluable, because they know what works in their medium. I worked with them and changed things around to make turn my art into good tats. Find a great artist, explain what's in your head, and let them worry about transforming your thoughts into pictures!
I think for my next tat I'm going to do just that. My best friend and I finally agreed on something we both want for a best friends' tattoo. We both like the idea of cats, and so we thought something that would be a tribute to my cat Max and her Snowball, both of whom we had when we met each other as teens, and both of whom died within the past three years. We want to aim for modern traditional style, but the tat has to complement both our existing work. We want the cats to be recognizable for who they are, but also somewhat stylized. They will complement eachother well, Max was a medium hair tuxedo, and Snowball, well, let's just say she wasn't especially creative when naming him. Anyway, we're going to go to a good artist, give her the details, and let her make the design.
That will be awhile though, because we are both broke.

So maybe something like either of these (or parts of either)...
I could totally see getting something like the lower one as a wrist band.
Yes, me too. It could be my second wrap around tattoo.
I'd rather chose #1. That second one looks a bit like the Enterprise getting towed away on a 2-lane road by the starfleet sign
Had my detailing done last night! The result? One mildly swollen, moderately tender, massively lovely forearm:

That is beautiful, tsq!
Nope, no color. Though there might be some blues in other work around it eventually. It's a Harry Clarke illustration from Faust, slightly modified because my forearm was too small for the original image (shrinking the image itself would have made detailing impossible) -- here's the original:
I'm going to have another Faust illustration done on my ankle in December:

They look amazing.
Probably, but it can't be worse than the one on my spine! I'm not looking forward to the swelling, though -- the forearm is pretty swollen, and will be for a couple more days most likely. Below-the-knees are notorious for swelling even more than below-the-elbows.
TSQ, who designed these tattoos? The style reminds me a little of some worky by Sulamith Wülfing: https://www.google.de/search?q=sulamith+w%C3%BClfing&biw=1280&bih=918&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=0pYWVOXfL8jXyQPynoK4Cw&sqi=2&ved=0CIoBEIke

Damned trees stealing our women.
Obviously a tree hugger.
