This is a painting of the Roman goddess Fortuna, done in the 1800's. It would make a great arm tatoo, but is there anybody talented enough to do it correctly.

I should get a replica of that for my office. There is a casino in Macau called the Fortuna.

I have a friend who is really into tattoos, he was looking to get a portrait tattoo done and he showed me a lot of places online that had some incredible sample work. I'd google it and I'm sure you can find someone who can do it.

You can get very nice prints online.

Too late. I sent it to my wife in the other room and and told her I'm getting a tatoo and she wrote back 'No you're not.' I asked why and she replied 'Take a guess.'

Oh well. Sigh.

I like the imagery here. Beautiful goddess, over flowing Horn of Plenty, waving her arm to make all your bets winners. For the time she was painted, she has a figure every man admired. Today she would be considered fat.

'Rubenesque' I believe is the polite way of putting it.
