Tattoo help!

[Gemma =]]

I have a tattoo of a lotus flower on my back to symbolise some time I spent in India because there were many lotus flowers in one of the centres I visited and it is a common India symbol.

But now I want to add to it the word 'Shradhanjali' which translates as "offering one's best" but it has a much deeper meaning for me.

I spent some time in a school, it's name was shradhanjali. It was the most amazing time of my life and one I will never forget.
It's really personal to me so I was origionaly thinking about getting it in a really personal space like my inner thigh or hip or something like that. Because the lotus flower is a beautiful image and symbol on it's own, I don't know if the writing should go with the flower, since it might detract from the symbolism of it.
But then I feel that they should be together!

Oh I don't know!

Basically, I would like to know if you think having that word curled around the top of the flower in a semi circle would look nice or would it detract from the symbolism of the flower and therefore better off in a different palce?

Sorry for the complicated beginning!

I would do the semicircle personally

This is my tattoo.... The pictures are really bad quality cause they were taken on my phone and by me literally two minutes ago for you guys lol - taking pictures of your own back is really difficult! lol

So this is it close up, you can't see the colours and detail so well because it's so dark but there's pink, purple and white highlights in there...



This is it a bit further back...



And finally, so you can see where it's placed......



My body looks a really awkward shape there but it's just the way I'm leaning to get the best angle lol. And it's not squint Again, the way I'm leaning.... lmao

So what do you guys think?

Oh! I really like it! Would you do the half circle above or below it?

[Gemma =]]

I'm thinking above

[love2laugh]

I was thinking that would look better on top, but didn't want to influence your desision. I think you should go for it.
