that looks like a lot of nicely done detail work, but in my humble opinion it doesn't flow with the lines of the bike. cool idea, though... don't give up on it

yeah I'd have to play with the lines some but just doing some roughs based on my artwork to get a feel

I read the title of the thread and thought "God, no. Please, no dragon."
But your mock up actually looks killer. I really like the single color look. I was expecting a gawdy airbrushed look. This could turn out looking great.

I LOVE it, man I wish I had some skills like that. Are you a tattoo artist? I'm sure it would come out killer.
