A tattoo for an unknown quatity of mass (X-mass) - interesting! Though somewhat unconventional Christmas (Xmas) present too!

You mean anthropomorphic? I don't think you really want one with a squashed perspective do you? Anamorphic is the resizing of an image, particulary in cinema, usually to try and reduce 'letter box' effect. If you want to shorten the term, say 'anthro'. :-)

Jim's still playing catch-up (and is getting there!) in the commission stakes, so unlikely to get that prior Chrissie. Can't think of any pieces of mammalian sea life that Jim has done, let alone female varients. May pay to cruise Fur Affinity or similar and see if you can track down someone who draws that sort of subject?

So you're not going for the 'able to hide it under a short sleeve shirt' option? Quite a few guys I've spoken with who have tattoos say they 1) regret getting that picture, or 2) take care to get the picture where a nice short-sleeve shirt will cover it, for the purpose of looking respectable in warm weather when required. Being a tech-sales guy for a international company does not inspire the customer with confidence when you show up covered in tattoos, hence optional concealment is good. Our sales guy at work has most of his upper body tattooed, but is coverable if he does up his collar. :-)
