So, for about a year, I've been going through ideas for what I would get as a sleeve on my right arm. The other day, I was talking to my friends and they thought a sleeve of some great myths would be pretty epic. Thing is, I'm quite a lover of Greek Mythology. Fuck the new Clash of the Titans. So, as we were chatting, they said start off with Icarus flying with burning wings into the sun at the top of my shoulder and have Hades & his demons in flames at the bottom by my wrist/top of my hand.

Any ideas as to what could go in between my shoulder and wrist/top of my hand (pertaining to Greek Mythology)? I'm open to any opinion or suggestion.

Thanks in advance.

I've decided I like you.

For me, I've always liked the fates. But that's not really a great thing for a tattoo.

That is a cool idea.

What about a hydra?

It's not a God, but It's sure as hell cool.

Or you could the whole Olimpians overthrowing the Titans. Cronus being defeated by, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades.

Mind you Mnemosyne and Athena are awesome.

That's pretty epic [taken into consideration/saved on my comp] but I thought you would've picked something with Zeus tongue.gif (pun intended).

Yay! I'm liked ♥
Well, the new Clash of the Titans was directed by the man behind The Transporter series: EPIC FAIL from teh beginning. I mean, some directors can pull off nothing but action in a film... but Louis can't. That movie made me cry... it was beautifully horrible sad.gif

You posed a lot of good ideas. Hyrdas are pretty badass, very likely to end up in the tat itself.
I'm really liking the Olympians overthrowing the Titans though - I just wonder where all those big bastards would go. laugh.gif

Oh God I know, besides I'm a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge sucker for the old movie. Damn. I feel like watching it now.

Cool cool. ^.^

laugh.gif True, perhaps have it landscape:
Hand - Cronus - Zeus, Poseidon and Hades and so on.
But that may not work. Ehhh. T'was just an idea.

No, don't shut it out yet. It's a really good idea, so was the Hydra. I just have to figure out where it would go.
Thinking like on the back of the arm maybe or it'll just have to circle around my arm just before my forearm.

I have some pretty long arms, so, I should be good smile.gif

+1. Only good part was...was...owaitnvm.

I also like the idea of Hydra, or Cerberus. Multi-headedness FTFW.

Whatever you choose, I expect pics. :]

Since you mentioned Icarus, it makes me think of one of Alesana's albums. You know, on Frail Wings Of Vanity And Wax (: so maybe try something that relates to the album? like a favourite song from it?
Otherwise you could do the whole Demeter and Persephone and Hades myth (I'm thinking pomegranates and stolen love? stolen hearts? sorrow for demeter? winter?)
Hope that kind of helps (:
