Most wouldnt take this on though IMO due to the fact it'll show through.
You're best asking TBH Jay, a decent artist will inform you best.

But look at the first/last pics
The first one has red/pink scales etc and some cyan in there...the second one looks like an outline
The top one had been finished about 5 mins, it was bleeding, sore, raised and raw - The other one is when it was totally healed - its the same with all large tatts. Because of the detail, the redness just spread from scale to scale and thats just how it is really. The colours havent gone anywhere, there was a tiny bit of blue in the water surrounding it, but most was stuck in theu upper dermis - the ink that stays is between the upper and lower dermis - about 1/8th of an inch below the surface, any deeper and it bleeds out of your body, any higher and it grows out. The tones of this tatt are exactly what she said they would be because I didnt want anything that was really really dark on my leg.
The tatt was black and grey, apart from a tiny big of blue, which is still visable totally now. - the colours change to the moisture of your skin too - if my skin was a bit dry there then it would appear muted more so than if it had moisturising cream on it - i'm hetero, I dont use moisturising cream

get it removed and get another tatoo somewhere else. Its cheap to do now.

Cool tattoo Tiger, really like it 
Not keen on the whole arm and back ones though, too much overkill for me.
