    Ok I showed the picture to the 3 people I know with the dirtiest minds. and none of them saw a penis. I'd take it as a warning that if you let those immature jerks do your tattoo, they wouldn't do a leaf. They would just tattoo a penis, cause to them that would be funny. And if you complained, they would just say they told you it would look that way.

      I immediately recognized the image from LOTR. It would make an awesome tat, though I can see how there would be issues if it had to be downsized too much. Those guys were total jerks to you, though.

      And don't worry about it being a geeky choice. No decent tattoo artist is going to judge you about it. There are far geekier choices out there, and if that's what you want and it has meaning to you, then go for it. (Hell, Hubby has the Abydos cartouche from the Stargate movie tattooed on his arm, and he wears it with pride! It is a very large tattoo, too.)

        I don't see how the picture you posted resembles a penis. Maybe the guy who made that comment has a deformed penis or has seen some deformed penises? Either way, you shouldn't worry about his opinion if he's going to act so unprofessionally. This is your decision, after all.

        I knew the design was a leaf, but didn't recognize it from Lord of the Rings even though I've seen the movies. I do like the script in which the word "agape" is written. Then again, I've considered taking up calligraphy as a hobby because I find such things fascinating.

            it's not whether the full sized detailed picture looks like a penis, but whether a reduced size far less detailed version that that is only going to get a passing glace will.

            Honestly i suspect it will look like a green deformed penis on your shoulder, but it's your body and if you want the tattoo then it doesn't matter what it looks liek to other people.

              And the reduced size was probably the same size as their penis.

                I did go ahead and get my cartoony sheep put on one of my legs, the artist was awesome and didn't smirk, laugh, or even make a funny smile once. He even kept calling other employees to 'Come look at the little lamb' and took a bunch of pictures of it on his phone, something my friend said she has never seen done there with her tats before. I'm still eventually going to get the Lorien leaf done, but I might decide to relocate it or go ahead and make it a larger piece. A leaf on each side of my chest would be cool, with agape in the middle, I'm just not sure I'm willing to commit to something that large.

                  That's supposed to resemble a penis?

                  The tip of a penis is more rounded than that!

                        I can see how one would say it resembles a penis, but those guys should have had enough professionalism to advise you of this as why you may want to think about the tattoo more than just laughing or being snide about it.
