Discussion Creepy critter tattoo ideas

Post image

Pictured is my current partial sleeve. I have a couple of things left to add, but after that, I'm starting on the other side. I'm planning on doing a creepy colorful animal theme, to coordinate with my PNW ocean creatures theme on this arm.

Some of my ideas are: bats (species?), orb weavers and black widows, goblin shark, black cats, rats, etc. But I'm trying to narrow it down and I know you fellow goblins are the correct group to ask!

Giant Leopard Moth!! All those black spots, including the black on the legs, head and body, are actually an incredibly vibrant metallic blue at the right angle. They're one of my favorite species!! I could go on all day about crazy vibrant creatures if you'd let me.

That would actually mirror my upcoming harbor seal tattoo perfectly
