Morning all!
just a bit of enlightenment here (I have several detailed tatoos and my girl has sleeves, most of her back, back of the head/neck/feet/toes...
Anything that should look pixelated will not look that way in a couple of years. The lines will smooth out and any stretching/growing is going to destroy it. Unless they are done large enough I would not recommend going for that look. As a side note, don't go to a walk-in tattoo place. A good rule of thumb is that good tattoos aren't cheap and cheap tattoos aren't good (generally). If the mario ones are under 120$ to get both done, I think I would just walk out.
Wrists are hard to hide. forearm is easier but will require long sleeves. Upper arm (bicep) can be hid with alot of short sleeve shirts but shoulder caps are better. I love the designs! I would not reccommend the mario in the size you have them though, and would make the muchrooms about 2" tall or you won't get the pixelated detail.
...I love this subforum. I fit in here like...well, IDK...something that fits really well with something else.

GOOD MORNING!
It rained hard here all night. Yummy sleeping weather! Gonna be another scorcher, and now we will have humidity. Step outdoors when its not raining and come inside wet.
The kennel leaks. The kennel yard is flooded. Poor dogs only have a 4X 30 area to move...But it looks last the rain is going away for the day. It'll dry out.
Children are each snuggled up and cute as bugs(wont last long!). Puppies and children are so cute sleeping...
Itinerary for the day: Stalk mail box. Stalk mail lady. Stalk mail box. When mission is accomplished, go mail out juice to swaps and such. Then get a few groceries I missed(yuck!). I really need a supplier in the Cleveland area to give me a good reason to go shopping!
Zippity do dah, zippity Ahe, My, Oh My, What a woderful day!

I would add the caveat that this is true at least 90% of the time, and likely 99%. My wife has a tattoo she had done about 20 years ago that still looks like frelling flash, like it was drawn with a set of fine line Rapidiographs this morning. With my tattoos, on the other hand, the three-needle outline looked like it was done with a 7 Round after three years. Luckily, they stop comparitively soon, but my "bleed" fast and hard for the first couple of years so the fine-line work looks like it was done with a Sharpie.
It's possible that your tattoos will look exactly the same after 10 or 20 years as they do the first day they are compleatly healed--but statistically that will not happen and the only way to know for sure is to get a tattoo and see what it looks like 10 years later. Everything else mod said is spot on (and even that is unless you are an anomoly like my wife).
On the other hand, even if you lose the look of the pixelation after a while they will still be recognizable as Mario mushrooms and you will know the pixelation is there, under the spread...
LOL
I'd do a shoulder blade or hip.
I'm a fan of the "now you see them, now you don't" approach to ink.
Several of the moms at school have ink - but you only see it when they wear tank tops or a bathing suit.
I was a life guard - and while I know the ink is much better - I can't forget what those tattoo's look after 20-30 or more years. LOL - Skin does not stay elastic - especially in areas that are thin skinned to begin with. I'm in my mid-40's. Several of my friends now have tattoo's that are not, um, located where they use to be 10 years ago. Something happens to women and their skin in the their 40's and it starts to head south. lol

Stalkin' the mailbox and getting my Hog Mod yesterday kept me up all day--means I can't hang today, gotta get some sleep.
G'night everyone, I'll be back later to stir up dead convos

I really shouldn't let people get me in a foul mood. They threw me in it last night and I just want to watch things burn now.

My girl is a mixed case (her early cheap ones bled) but the ones that were done by Sister Bear (Blue door in Denver. CO) even after 10 years are flawless including stippling. She loves the work so much that she flies to denver 2x per year to get inked! Luckily she gets the friends and family discount (of half price) but I am betting there is about $3K on her sleeves and back.
Good luck with your tat though, I do love the designs of the zelda hearts and Marshrooms. The zelda hearts would make an excellent bracelet.
I got mine on my ankle, easy to hide with socks. And it was a walk in, at 2 different places(got recommendations).
When I get that way I like to go to the range and shoot things. Better things than people...
Welllllll... My health is more than half full. So I'm totally fine if a boss comes along. I left the 3rd one 1/2 empty because to me, it leaves no doubt that it's a zelda tattoo. I wouldn't wanted it misinterpreted for just three stupid hearts.
That is a little surprising.. but I'm always wearing several bangles/bracelets. And I also really want it somewhere where I can look at it.. lol. I'm impossible, I know =D
But which one do you like best??
Okay, you should do the last heart 3/4 full though. Give yourself as much life as possible! : P
I have one on my neck, one on my shoulder and one we don't talk about. I haven't ever had issues with having to hide them but there are some jobs who will not allow tattoos. I say, get what you want where you want. It's your body. Screw society and it's backwards ideas of what's decent! Rah!
Painting Livi's room today. It's looking so so good! Break time is over, back at it! Love y'all.

A totally unrelated tidbit here. a moment ago i checked the forum from page and saw we are up to 3,494,917 posts. It looks like today ECF is going to break the 3.5 million post mark. Wow that is a lot of posts...
