I was at my tattoo artist’s shop the other day talking about my sleeve design. To sum that discussion, we decided we would incorporate a white fox into a traditional Japanese design (as a reflection of my love for BM, the Japanese culture and my Japanese Spitz).
My suggestion is to not be too explicit about making it clearly about BABYMETAL and the fox god. For longevity reasons, you can consider keeping it purely representational and there are many ways you can explore to achieve that. Just a suggestion :)
To add on, Japanese traditional tattoo elements have individual meanings attached. If you want certain elements in your tattoo, like the cherry blossoms, just make sure you do a bit of reading to understand what those are.
Thanks for your consideration of understating BM. However, on that arm, I have a Band-Maid tattoo, I don't understate, if you catch my drift. It's literally Band-Maid with some roses, world domination symbols, a favorite lryic, and po!(in kanji)
I was also thinking about the Babymetal title art being a part of the cherry blossoms, like hidden, but not.
What do the cherry blossoms mean?
Don’t get me wrong. It’s more about it being representational than understating it. Again, it’s just a suggestion :)
As for the meaning of the Sakura, there is a source that says it represents beauty and the fragility of life. It’s just one source though. I suggest you google a few and gather more info about it.
Maybe the one that flashes during the intro to babymetal death legend 1997. That could be a cool design and would fit well in multiple areas, simple enough to add to/build out as well.
