Those are pretty cool....but as a side suggestion , do some research into the art of polynesian,style tattoos. There is some symbolism behind alot of the patterns as well as significance in the location as well. Alot of the old information is gone but their are people trying to revive it. Look up stuff relating to : Polynesian, Marquesas, Tahiti, Samoan and Tongan ...you'll get alot of info on the history of those native peoples as well, which will help to enlighten you more to the art.
I love the polynesian tattoos, I guess their probably my favorite style in tattooing, when done right and true to the art. But I totally dig the origins of most things hahahaha.

I dont know how the dead straight line at the top of that one would look on a curved surface tho!
