First one. Definitely

A, Make it full arm though.

I want to but can't for work

They can't fire you based on your appearance, If you are a good worker then they can't fire you. If they do, You have a good legal case to sue.

I work in the media... an image based profession lol

....Still can't fire you for it....You could sue if they do

It's cool I rather keep my tattoos discreet mostly because I get them for me and no one else.

Um... Yes they can. Tattoo's are not protected. :/ You CAN discriminate against people with tattoo's. :/ At least where he lives.

you can fire someone for getting tattoos.

depends on where you live, in liberal states like PA there are no worker protection laws.

Yes they can. The only way they can't fire you based on appearance is if it's something you can't chose. (Race for example)
I'm sure when he was hired he was informed that he couldn't have any visible tattoos so to get one now give them every right to fire him. It's why I had to change my hair from bright blue back to brown so I could get a job. Society blows.

OP I say A! I wish there was a way they could like, fade or something. It's gonna be a cool tat!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I pick B, less painful and it has a cleaner look.

The right one, good sir. And the suggestion of making it a full sleeve are well thought out. Please do so as to not create a tacky or "unfinished" looking tattoo. I believe the tiger stripes could blend into an actua tiger, say, on the elbow. I would go with a more traditional Japanese style tiger to give it that more "Sailor Jerry" originality or you could go with a more modern realistic tattoo of the tiger to express your creativity. But I would definately have it blend into something so it doesn't just look like a patch of skin, tattoo's must be significant and they need to be interresting. OR you could make your arm the tail and have the entire tiger form scrawled across your back or shoulders. Be it a larger tattoo it would carrp more significance than just a patch of tiger stripes.

It's always been my dream to have my torso and legs tattooed with tiger stripes... got to start somewhere

OR you could go with the Flour De Tigre if you're an LSU fan, because I see you're from Louisiana.

Yes I am from Louisiana but I'm not an LSU fan it's cause im a tiger. My mom think's its cause of lsu thought

Nice cover, HAHA! Could have fouled me. I know some guys from La and they are all freakin nuts about LSU and the Saints...I can't see that...probably because I'm from New Mexico and we don't have any national teams and our college teams suck ass, HAHA! But seriously if you're gunna start somewhere don't get the tattoo to where you can't modify it. You must be able to improve it. I have 3 tattoos and all 3 of them look so out of sync because there just there, theres nothing relating them, nothing binding or connecting them. It looks kind of flimsy ya know? I'm just trying to help you out, old boy. I would start off with a tiger's tail on my arm and have it going up my sleeve so people are all like "Oh wow is that an entire tattoo of a tiger on your body? Can i see?" and then you're like "It's not finished but thanks for the comment" blah blah blah.

Your icon is the most hypnotizing thing I've ever seen.

A is superior

I actually am not a fan of either of them, but if I were to chose one, it would be B.

Pretty much my comment ^

-Offers a Jack and Coke-

*Slams it*

RAWR :D

I like A better if you need a choice.

Yeah, I'm not really a tattoo guy, so it's
hard for me to have a preference.
I think B looks less painful?
*is a wimp*

I like B

b

Re-Think your tattoo, because it's going to look like shit in a couple years anyway.

I'd pick A, no question

Looking at your tattoo I think you have them going the wrong way they should be going up and down your arm. On that note if you look at a tiger any stripes they have on their forelegs run up and down the leg. I think A would look good if it was turned at right angle.

Femm

B

Less symmetrical and more appealing to the eye =)

I like B, but have the strips a bit thicker maybe :3

second one. B. it looks cleaner

left, absolutely. they look way cooler.

Personally, I only get tats I personally design, but on this note, I think I would have to go with B...it keeps a subtlety which seems more correspondent with an actual tiger. Just my 2 cents

Just a side note...I noticed earlier you said you were in the media and worried about the tattoo displaying. There is always the option of getting black light tattoos which are invisible (once healed) unless they are exposed to black light. I have one myself.

Definitely "B". :]

B

B because looks alot better and you could easily add something underneath it like say a flower for example. (in between the stripes of course)

Just telling you that if you want to add onto it ^^

The stripes are a little too close together for my taste. But if they were further apart, I'd choose A. B reminds me, for some reason, of zebra stripes more than tiger stripes.

A looks bad, sorry to say. It's way too symmetrical, which is actually not a great idea, design-wise. B leads the eye and is more visually appealing and interesting. Plus, super fat black lines look like utter shit when they blow out and/or fade in a few years.

I vote B. The 'A' Stiripes look too much like a Zebras pattern......ur not a Zebra....ur a Tiger, rawr

A. on your penis.

I really do wanna get tiger stripes on my penis but I cant find anyone that will do it

any parlor in austin tx would do it.

A. Fo sho! I can't wait to see it finished! It's going to look great either one :3

I like A better. =D

A

A

a thicker B

Neither.

If you want a tat, try your calf area. Your skin looks beautiful just as it is.

I suggest you actually get someone to design it as opposed to just picking one of those, neither are suited for the area.

Volunteering?

I take commissions :)

How much

I dunno, $20

uh... let me get back to you on that

Don't get me wrong, the tattoo designs are great and everything. But i have to agree with apollo, i should reconsider your decision man.
I had a friend that did zebra strips on his lower leg and so far it looks like sarah palins vagina. Trust me it doesn't look pretty.

The flow of "B" over your shoulder looks much more organic.

b

Just so we are clear this isn't me in the pic it's one of my friends

I pick B. There is more space between the stripes and it still looks realistic. My only problem with the A version is that I find it kinda cluttered.

If the goal is something approaching a realistic pattern, I feel obligated to point out that tiger stripes aren't nearly as dense as either pattern depicted. This is the densest stripe pattern I could find: http://www.knowledgerush.com/wiki_i.....engalTiger.jpg

Don't get me wrong, A is a good design -- but it's a design for a tiger's chest and sides, not a shoulder.

Neither. A looks like some crazy Zebra tribal. B looks more like a tiger pattern, but it still doesn't look good. It's the wrong pattern for that location and just looks plastered on at that angle. And in all honesty, I think having a tiny patch of animal markings in one specific location of your body would look terrible, no matter what the pattern was. I sure hope you're giving yourself a long time thinking this over, so you don't end up with buyer's remorse for your own body, for the rest of your life.
