Alright, I know its MY tattoo, and I shouldn't have to ask other people what I'm going to get inked on me, but I need some ideas, just to put pen onto paper. Here's what I have so far:

This is an older pic, but this is on my shoulder / upper arm

This spans my mid bicep to my mid tricep.

There's going to me smoke that fills in most of the gaps between the two tattoos and to cap off the bottom of my upper arm / bottom of soundwave. I was thinking of getting the quote: Till All Are One around my lower tricep, and then getting Starscream on my middle arm. Im trying to stray away from Optimus Prime or Megatron, or Grimlock because those are the first things people ask me about when they see my sleeve. I'm trying to avoid the "cliche" transformers stuff, if that makes sense. What do you guys think?

Heres the pic of Starscream I was looking at:

I don't know if th quote should even be thrown in there. [/img]

A Decepticon symbol on your opposite bicep would rock dude. Nice Soundwave artwork too, the outline came out great. You could go a little more obscure than 'till all are one' and use Soundwave's G1 quote from the box. I'll be damned if I remember it myself, but it'd fit the rest of your peice.

I was planning on keeping the transformers ink limited to a 1/2 sleeve on my right arm, only because I might want something else on my left bicep in a few years.

And I was thinking of getting the Soundwave quote, but I don't know how I'd feel about getting "Cries of pain are music to my ears" or something along those lines. Hahahaha. There's always the option that I could get more bio-mechanical stuff and that'd be it, but I feel like I need one more picture to complete it.

Cries of pain! Hahaha, that's right. Well I guess it depends on what you want, or how death metal you wanna go with it :)
And dude, you've got one arm all done up with TF's. You've gotta do the other arm with TF's now, gotta balance it out. You could do some of that Japanese coi fish stuff, that might go with the theme kiiiiinda, but, come on, TF's is where it's at. We all know it. It's why we're here :) The Starscream head would look good too though, that's a good idea. It'd be killer to get something with all three seekers, Thundercracker and Skywarp staggered behind StarScream or something like that. But that'd be huge, it'd be like a back piece. I've got a couple tatts myself but I've been wanting a TF one for years, can never decide on one. What won't look too poser-ey or lame once it's on me, what won't look like a garbled mess you know? My bro-in-law is an awesome artist, it's not him, it's me and my indecisiveness.

this is a quote from my G2 comic Optimus is saying it well here it goes!

It begins with screams.
Thick...The air is thick with them.
A symphony of pain and death.
I am drowning is an ocean of corpses.
Running fleeing from something unspeakably ancient and evil.
Only to find...that it is right in front of me!
One touch one moment of terrible emptiness and I crumble to dust.
