Tattoo idea On one upper arm I want it to show the original harley from the batman animated series on the phone in front of a window with Gotham in the background and showing the bat symbol. And then on the the other upper arm a picture of the joker also from the animated batman in arkam asylum behind bars on the phone and in the background have like haha scratched marked in the background on the wall of his cell. For harley it's kind of a chill mood because she's not in arkam asylum. And for joker since he's in arkam it's more of a dark sinister mood like he's planning to break out that's why I wanted to include the haha like it's him laughing. For this idea I want it to seem like they are planning the escape.

• Keep the bottom Joker face — make it the centerpiece. • Keep the full quote: They laugh at me because I’m different, I laugh at them because they’re all the same. You could place this under the face or even curve it slightly to follow the jawline shape for a nice flow. HAHA Design: • Scatter the “HAHA”s in varying sizes and angles around the edges of the design — like a graffiti explosion. • Use faded or overlapping layers of red and black ink to make it look dynamic and gritty. • Maybe even have a few “HA”s look like they’re dripping paint or ink for a psychotic touch. • Add a few joker card symbols (♠️♦️) subtly in the background. • Faint smoke or ink splatter behind the face for texture. hint of color (like green hair tint or red lips) can break up the monochrome.
