I want to get new ink, opinions?

I want to get this written down my right ribcage upperbody to down. Pretty big size, proportional to my side
Something like that, or script with black outlines, and dark blue filling. "Freedom" nothing more nothing less.
Anyone have any advice? yes or no. Edit, i dont know why when you click the picture it becomes inverted colors.. but yeah.. weird. if you click on it, it will be black/white inverted, click again it will pop up normal.. so weird i just created a picture to demonstrate what i mean, ..

Already done^ thats my picture /slap.

Quote from silenze :

Well I'm not a fan of text tats, but as long as you like them, go for it. Make sure you find someone with rock solid linework as tattoos like this are easy to f*** up. Ribs are rough so I've heard.

yeah, i dont go to cheap artist. i pay 150/hour for my artist. the purple dreamcatcher has feathers all way down back etc.. 15 hours, i paid 2500 for the one on my back + gave him like $300 tip.

dunno.. to you guys its just a word, but i just got out of army, was airborne infantry for 4 years. afghanistan vet, and a few of my friends arent here today. I dont want to sound like a toolbag, however freedom means a lot to me, so iwant to get it on my body to represent my friends to remember them by, and also a part of myself. as for the pain, it'll be worth it to me.

First, let me say thank you for serving. I put in my time as well, but I never saw any combat. Second, have you thought about doing a symbol of freedom instead of the word freedom? I only ask because the dream catcher you have now is art, and sometimes mixing art with text can seem a little strange....like they are competing with each other instead of being part of the overall look. Third, since the days of Lincoln, the country has valued security over freedom. The word freedom has been transitioning in to a new 4-letter word for quite some time now.

sadly.. people dont realize it but they, ugh i dunno what is wrong with people now a days. no one is standing up or seeing whats happening like you said. as for a symbol, i dont know, what exactly could i get as a symbol for freedom? i dont want a bird or army logos or anything of that nature. i do want something though. Freedom may not mean what it should to most, but it does to me and i know afew others. im sure you also agree with below

"People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both." - B. Franklin...

Agreed, but I mean it's your body, your tattoo, and your meaning. I say go for it. I wish I could afford to get some more, but the diaper bills still have to get paid so until then.... Don't forget to post once you get it.

will do some serious thinking on it first, got to figure out the right tattoo/position. going to talk to my artist (who did my dreamcatcher) about his personal opinion and he will also give me some ideas too. I have been pondering on *freedom* from before i went into the service tattoo wise. and im finally, motivated to get it done now that i feel i have reason.

probably stop in thursday or friday and see what he says. i'll come back and revive my thread with an update to what im gonna do.
