As a tattoo addict...get one that will look decent when you are 50 years old. Color tats fade tremendously
over time and require rework. They will look damn good for about 12 months then will look like blah. I would
get the black tribal one that you listed as A. My first tattoo was a colorful dragon on my upper bicep but it is
fading over time. My other 2 are solid black tribals and they still look good. Also with a solid black tribal, you
can get work added to it very easily such as enlargement. Take my advice. It might look good on paper but
get something that will last and look good later. I'm trying now to schedule an appt. to get my 4th tribal wrap
around my wrist. Tattoos are fun and the pain is worth it. Enjoy it. Make sure you eat before you go and get
alot of sugar in your body (as in big soda). THis will help with the relaxation of the procedure. Also, make sure
you follow their directions when it's over for caring for it. Keep it lotioned up and out of the sun for awhile. Don't
be tempted to pick at the scabs that form in about 2-3 days. You will pull the ink out of the art and have to have
it touched up.
Good luck.
