Hi all,

I've been keen to get a tiki-related tattoo for a while now and love this -

I'd like to get something similar on my bicep. The tattoo above depicts Ku, who (as we all know) is god of war and is assocated with, among other things, human sacrifice. In my eyes, I'd like to use Ku in a tattoo to represent strength but I wonder - if you met someone with a tatto depicting Ku, what would your first impression be? That they're violent and aggressive or something else?

Thanks!
