    Here's something I put together for a weekly contest on another forum. The two general rules were for it to involve a tattoo and to keep it simple.

    I don't know much about sigs so take my comment with a couple hundred grains of salt xD

    Were you just supposed to have a tattoo somewhere or is the tattoo supposed to be the focal point. Right now I feel like I should be looking at that tattoo on her back but I can't look away from her insanely seductive gaze. Also the tattoo you added by her ear seems a little strange. It kind of distracts me from both the back tattoo and her gorgeous face.

    I love what you did with the background and lighting. I would try removing the face stripes and the smaller "real" tattoo (if that's possible) and see how that looks. But again, take this advice with some sea salt :)

    ........just wondering, who's the girl, by the way?

    Hayden Panettiere.

    Keep in mind, I don't do any kind editing/photoshop experience n whatnot. I like the background and the overall effects/filter/whateverthefuckitscalled. The tattoos you've added, however, feel weird. I think this is mainly due to the fact that they're not easily distinguishable. That , and the face tattoo is positioned very oddly. I would recommend removing the face tattoo and replace the back tattoo with a more easily identifiable design. Looks pretty shnazzy overall.

    Yum, Hayden Panettiere. I like, but you should have tried to remove the writing tattoo she already has, it falls off the bottom of the image and ruins the skin complexion and colour.

    Removed those two tattoos, changed the hue to match her eyes, and messed around with the lighting some. I attempted the make the other tattoo a more distinct design, hahaha.

    Thanks much, guys.

    Awh, I thought the red theme looked so good :( I guess that's personal preference though, lol. It looks much better without those two other tattoos. Also, it might be because I know that the tattoo isn't real, but the extra detail you added looks just a little fake.

    If you wanted to keep the original red color scheme you had going on, maybe change the coloring in her eyes to match? Either way, I think it looks superb :)

    Bam, thanks Dax. If anybody has an idea to make the tattoo more real looking, I'm all ears because I can't figure it out, hahaha.

    The tattoo looks like its on top of the image, and not on her skin, i dont know exactly how you'd accomplish this, maybe lower the opacity of the tat.

    Also its alittle pixelated on the edge of her back.

    It could possible look more realistic if the tattoo was black, because most tattoos start with black then go to color, or just stay black

    If you want to keep the color, maybe fade it out a bit more? I don't know much about tattoos, though I DO know that the color fades a lot. Could be a start. Other than that I like the background quite a bit, however I feel that it should focus more on Hayden. She's not a big part of the whole composition now, but rather feels like an object rather than a person.

    RULE OF THIRDS.

    He just blurred the tattoo big time.
