I've considered the Empire Song cover as well but as all my other tattoos 
are black I've never gone ahead.
Once  the clock has healed I might get that shaded and then I've discussed 
getting a skull with a jesters hat/cap to go above my Olde English script at 
the top of my right arm.
My wife is now considering getting her first - on her feet - ouch!
